Welcome to Mrs. Cowan's Social Studies Class!
This promises to be an exciting year! Be prepared to work hard, learn a lot and have fun. We will be starting the year with Geography. During the second marking period, we will study North America. For the third and fourth marking periods we will study American History from Jamestown through the Constitution. We’ll be using the laptops, the computer lab, doing small and large projects and many other things.
History is our story. It explains who we are and how we got there. If you can learn to look deeper into the text, there are many levels of understanding and discovery beyond “just the facts.” In order to help you get “beyond the facts,” we’ll be working on helping you “learn how to learn.” Throughout your whole life there will be times when you will have to figure things out for yourself and there won’t be a teacher there to help you. If you can learn how learn, you will won’t be stuck for long and will be able to figure almost anything out, from reading a high school textbook to filling out tax forms to studying for your driver’s license.
