Social Studies- 8th Grade |
Your eighth grader is diving into the American Revolution this quarter—exploring the tensions that sparked a nation, from Britain's controversial taxes on the colonies to the bold Declaration of Independence that changed everything. To truly understand the founders' revolutionary thinking, students are getting creative by declaring their own independence from something meaningful and writing their own declarations, bringing history to life in a personal way. We'll trace the path from rebellion to nation-building, and in November, shift focus to how our founders crafted the Constitution and its Amendments—the blueprint that still guides our country today. By connecting these pivotal moments to their own lives, your student will gain deeper insight into why this era matters and how it shaped the America we know. Ask them what they've declared independence from—their answers might surprise you! |
