COURSE SYLLABUS and DESCRIPTION HISTORY 101: U.S. History to 1877 SECTIONS 2327 and 2337 FALL SEMESTER, 2015 COURSE SYLLABUS and DESCRIPTION HISTORY 101: U.S. History to 1877 SECTIONS 2327 and 2337 FALL SEMESTER, 2015 PROFESSOR EMILY RADER OFFICE: SOCS 116 EMAIL: [email protected] TELEPHONE: 660-3593, x3757 OFFICE HOURS: Mon. & Wed. 10:00-11:00 and 3:00-3:30; Tues. & Thurs. 2:30-3:30; other times by appointment. I am not on campus on Fridays. (See my full schedule on the last page of this syllabus.) TEXTBOOKS—Are Required You will need to buy a textbook package from the ECC bookstore. The package consists of (1) Roark, et al., Understanding the American Promise—A History, Vol. 1, 2nd edition (2) LaunchPad access number (3) Johnson, Reading the American Past: Selected Historical Documents, Vol. 1, 5th edition The price you pay at the ECC bookstore is cheaper than you can get the 3 items elsewhere. That’s because you are paying for the access to LaunchPad, and the textbooks are free. That’s a good deal! I recommend that you buy the bundle at the ECC bookstore, so you know you are getting the correct items. Copies of the course books are available for on-campus use in the Reserves Section of the library and in my office. BRING Understanding the American Promise TO ALL CLASS MEETINGS. Bring Reading the American Past when you have a reading assigned in it. OTHER REQUIRED ITEMS 1. A 3-hole binder for UAP. (I recommend 1½”.) 2. Regular access to a reliable computer and printer. 3. Current ECC ID card for computer use on campus and various services in the library. ABOUT THIS COURSE—RECOMMENDED ACADEMIC PREPARATION Students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university are required to take a survey course in U.S. history. This course is one of several that fulfills this requirement. The History Department recommends that students taking this course (or any history course) should be eligible for English 1A, in order to do well. While this is not a requirement, we encourage students who have tested below this level (ENG 80, 82, 84, ENG C, B, A; ESL 52A, B, C, 53A, B, C) to improve their reading and writing skills before taking a history class. Students need to know the basic structure of a college essay. International students should consult with me at the start of classes to determine whether their English language skills are adequate for this course. We emphasize the importance of students being ready for this course because reading, writing and critical thinking are fundamental skills for learning about history. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOME—or, What am I supposed to know by the end of this course? Upon completion of United States History to 1877, students will be able to develop and persuasively argue a historical thesis in a written assignment that identifies and explains major social, economic, political and/or cultural historical themes or patterns in United States history to 1877 and apply appropriate historical methods to analyze and use primary and/or secondary sources as evidence to support the thesis.

  • Course Offerings & Graduation Requirements Booklet
    Course Offerings & Graduation Requirements Booklet Tricia Bush Marcy Tyler “I am convinced that knowledge is power - to overcome the past, to change our own situations, to fight new obstacles, to make better decisions. ~ Ben Carson Updated 2/19 Dear Students and Parents/Guardians: We are pleased to offer this booklet including information on New York State high school graduation requirements, diploma options, college planning, course offerings at GHS, and more! The high school educational program offers options for students who plan to continue their formal education beyond high school and for those who plan to enter the workforce or military following graduation. We hope you find this information helpful. This booklet allows students and parents to become familiar with the variety of curriculum choices offered at GHS and specific graduation requirements. We strongly encourage students to not only seek to satisfy graduation requirements, but to challenge themselves with classes that will better prepare them for college. Taking advantage of elective opportunities allows students to explore interests and make decisions about future plans. Please be aware, however, that most elective courses are tentative as they depend on enrollment. In Grade 8, students and parents have an opportunity to learn about the high school curriculum and graduation requirements prior to making course selections for grade 9. In grade 9, a more formalized plan will be made according to each student’s goals. Each year after that, we work with students and parents in choosing courses and making adjustments to the plan as interests/needs change. Course offerings can vary slightly from year to year as well.

    HISTORY ON THE MOVE OVERVIEW & HIGHLIGHTS If you can’t make it to the State Historical Museum of Iowa in Des Moines, why not let it come to you? The State Historical Society of Iowa’s mobile museum, known as “Iowa History 101,” travels the state’s highways and back roads to share stories from the past with Iowans in every corner of the state. Artifacts from the State Historical Society’s collection fill 300 square feet of a bright blue 38-foot Winnebago, custom-built at the factory in Forest City. The idea for the “Iowa History 101” mobile museum emerged in 2014 from a series of community conversations that were organized across the state by the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs, which oversees the State Historical Society. Iowans who care deeply about history made it clear that they wanted new ways to access the State Historical Museum’s resources even if they couldn’t visit Des Moines in person. The vision for the mobile museum really shifted into gear when EMC Insurance Companies stepped up as a presenting sponsor, with additional support from Casey’s General Stores and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. The museum on wheels will visit all 99 Iowa counties over the course of three years, from 2017 through 2019, with stops at schools, libraries, local museums, community festivals, county fairs and other places where Iowans gather. Anyone who would like to request a visit can find the details online at iowaculture.gov, along with the updated schedule. Now Showing: “Iowa History 101” Iowans share a fascination with being Iowan.
