Grade 9 - Social Studies
Texas U.S. History Studies I A - Semester 1 (Credit: 0.50)US History is the academic study of the events, people, and culture of the United States
through time. In Texas US History A, you will learn about the process of historical
inquiry, review the events and principles behind the founding of the United States, and
apply historical inquiry to analyze societal issues, trends, and events from the 1800s
through the Great Depression. Along the way, you will explore timelines to gain an
understanding of how events link to each other and analyze historical documents for a
firsthand sense of how events unfolded. You’ll also gather evidence from relevant
documents and historical texts in order to develop credible explanations of events in US
history. You will then use that evidence to evaluate change and continuity over time by
writing essays and creating presentations about broad periods of historical
development.
