History Alive! sounds like
what it is…history brought to life utilizing interactive activities
that require students to learn historical concepts and remember
important details about history through participation. Students, in
cooperation with their classmates, will make connections between
classroom activities, the history, and their lives today. Using
effective learning strategies such as the use of graphic organizers,
analyzing primary sources, dramatizing compelling events, listening to
music and discussing provocative questions will ensure that all
students are engaged in the dynamics of learning for understanding.
The Ancient World is the focus of the sixth grade year. Topics include
early humans and the ancient times of Egypt , India , China , Greece
and Rome. In seventh grade, Europe, Japan, West Africa, the Arabian
Peninsula, Imperial China, and America inclusively frame the study of
The Medieval World and Beyond. The eighth grade will begin with the
study of Native Americans and continue through to the Reconstruction
Era. European Exploration and Settlement, Colonies in America ,
Declaration of Independence, American Resolution, The Constitution and
The Civil War are some of the additional highlights.
