Upper Childhood Expedition for 2012-2013

“The Power to Change”

Over the course of the year, Upper Childhood students will analyze the cultural and political development of the United States.  Topics will include civic ideals and practices, the distribution of power, and how individuals and nations create change inside and outside of a government system.  Our journey will begin with the Civil Rights Movement, winding back through the Civil War, the American Revolution, and the founding of America.  Througout this historical overview, we will explore immigration, industrialization, slavery, and national identity.  Students will have opportunities to learn—hands-on—about our government and how American history continues to shape current events
