8-2 Grade Social Studies Assignments

Welcome to 8^th Grade Social Studies                     Mr. Mayo

The 8^th Grade Social Studies course is a survey of American history beginning with the Civil War and ending with Vietnam. It is designed to help students understand how and why particular events and patterns of events occurred in our society. The course will enable students to understand the geographic, political and economic developments that affect currents events.

Course Expectations: Students are expected to develop their writing skills, to complete all reading assignments, and to begin the process of historical analysis critical to understanding and interpreting the past. Students are expected to come to class prepared and to complete assignments on time.

I look forward to the many challenges and learning experiences that lay ahead of us as we journey through a fun filled school year. Students should come to this class with a positive attitude along with a hunger for learning. I will challenge them to do their best and be there to help when they need guidance. I’m the type of teacher that will always welcome questions from my students, so students should never be afraid to ask for help, and or to get clarification on something that they may not fully understand. Remember I’m here to gladly assist and help!

Sincerely,

Sean Mayo
