Recently, in the EHS Social Sciences Department, students learned about what life was like in the 1990s. Students from the junior class were born in the 90s and therefore cannot recall many of the major events that are commonly associated with that time frame. After learning about this era, the class will then focus back on early American culture and find relationships between the two periods in time. Students were given the option of writing an essay, creating a newspaper on poster board, or preparing a power point to teach to other students in class as part of their unit project. It is a different approach to the typical chronological way of teaching U.S. History, but in doing so, the hope is that students will have a better understanding of the similarities and differences of the past and present.
