Virginia and U.S. History
In this Virginia and United States History Course, students journey back in time on a guided tour of the history of the United States of America. They are guided by two fictional students, Martina and Terrance. These characters assist students as they work to identify twelve major themes that represent the principles of America. From the earliest colonists to the modern day, Martina and Terrance stop at all the significant destinations to show students how the United States grew into the country it is today. Students gain an understanding of how people, places, and events have contributed to the creation of the United States through media-rich interactivities, videos, collaborative discussions, hands-on applications, and real-world projects.
