What is this unit about? Up until now you may have viewed history as old stories in a dusty book, but as we explore our more modern history, you will see how the past 50 years have shaped the country you now know today. The events you will learn about in this mini unit are so recent that you might have already heard of them or have family members that saw them unfold. You will learn about how the nation changed through the rise of terrorism, pulled together after the tragic events of 9/11, recovered after natural disasters and even some accidental disasters, advanced in technology, and even now continues to write its story with the turning of each page and the passing of each day. The history of tomorrow has only begun to be written, and you get to be a part of the story.
