AOWS2: Nation in Conflict - Founding Figures of America In A Global Context

Not your old style history class. History teachers love to tell stories. And students love to hear stories. However, listening to stories is not the same as doing history. We want our students to experience history. Students need to feel the thrill of handling a primary source and using chronological thinking, historical comprehension, historical analysis and interpretation, and historical research.

In this course you will not be asked to learn one historical fact, although you may need to remember or look up a few facts to do the assignments. You will use a few different tools for analyzing primary sources.
