Social
Studies Synopsis
By
Brian Murphy, Exeter-Milligan Social Studies Instructor
A
variety of subjects are being discussed in Mr. Brian Murphy's social science
classes. In eighth grade history, students are diving into the American Revolutionary
War. Freshmen in Geography started out the year by learning Nebraska Geography
and using several different technology tools. American History has revisited
Westward Expansion and immigration in the United States during the 1800s.
Finally, in Post World War II History (Modern History) we have discussed two
main topics this semester: the early Cold War and the Civil Rights Movement.
Social science classes have evolved greatly. General knowledge of events is
still important. However, critical thinking skills and utilizing technology are
being emphasized more than ever before in my teaching of social studies.
