**This Day in Mr. Bruce's History**

**As the bell rings...** Getting to know you activity. Record your group members' favorite places.

//What are we doing in here?// This question is always the first that is asked and answered at the beginning of a school year. Let's take things one simple step at a time. > History is not simply learned, it is done. Learning history is an active process that is done over and over and over again. My expectation is that you will practice and perform the process of //doing// history. This is the basis of the course. > While becoming masters at doing history, we'll be using U.S. History as the content. Last year, you learned about early U.S. History: Independence from Great Britain, the rough early years prior to the Constitution, the challenges of drafting and ratifying the Constitution, making that a working framework, struggles confronted by the infant nation, challenges accompanied by growth and unsolved problems, and a national divide resulting in Civil War and it's aftermath. This year, we'll work through the growth of an industrial and global United States and the problems accompanied with it, an increase in foreign involvement, World War I, the prosperity of the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, Civil Rights Era, America's new role in the world, and modern conflicts and triumphs. > This is the most important question for you beginning this course. Things will be done a little differently in this class than you've ever seen and done before. This week and next, our primary goal is to get us all used to //how// this class will function.
