Mr. Brian Murphy's social sciences classes at
Exeter-Milligan High School  are studying a variety of topics
this semester.  As the school year has  progressed technology
has continued to be integrated into the classroom.  The  use
of the Smart Board and projects and reviews on the computer
give  students a variety of learning experiences.  During
most class periods,  discussion takes place about current
events and how those events may impact  them.  
After learning about ancient civilizations during the  first
semester, seventh grade switched over to learning Civics
this  semester.  In eighth grade history, the class will be
using computers and  other technology to make electronic
newspapers about westward expansion in  the U.S.  The class
will cover the Civil War before studying Nebraska History  at
the end of the year.  During the second semester in World
Geography,  students will learn about countries on other
continents.  An emphasis is  placed on locating countries and
cities on a map.  American History will be  covering World
War II until present time.  World History is  currently
learning about the Industrial Revolution.  During the
remainder  of World History time will be spent on World War
I, World War II, the Cold  War, and current world issues.
