In United States History I, students examine the historical and intellectual origins of the United States developed from Western Europe through the Revolutionary and Early Republic eras. Students study the framework of American Democracy; analyze key documents including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the basic concepts of the American Government. The course then traces America’s westward expansion, the establishment of political parties, economic and social change, sectional conflicts, the Civil War and Reconstruction periods.

= Make-Up Work Policy :  = __Late Work:__ Students are expected to hand in all work on the day it is due. The most you can earn from handing in late work is a 3 (75%). This includes major and minor projects. This is only fair to the students that work hard to get work completed on time. __Absent Work:__ If you were absent, you have until the next school day to make it up. __All Work:__ I will NOT accept any make-up work for a chapter any later than the scheduled date of the Chapter Test. This is because homework and class work are used to practice a skill, learn a concept or assess what you know about a concept. If you do the work after a test, you will not be able to get misinformation cleared up before you take the test.
