Course info

This course will be a survey of United States history from 1850 to the present. Honors US History provides the opportunity for advanced study of major events, ideas, and concepts found in course content. This course is challenging and requires students to take greater responsibility for their learning by participating in problem-seeking and problem-solving, scholarly and creative processes, critical analysis and application, reflective thinking, and expression and defense of ideas generated through the study of the content. Honors US History follows the same course of study as the standard level class. However, students are required to demonstrate a greater level of analytical and evaluative thought about content. Honors US History is also distinguished by a difference in the quality of work expected.

All efforts in this course is to prepare students to score a passing score on the End of Course (EOC) exam. United States History is a state tested subject, and an end of course exam (EOC) will be given at the end of the year that is worth 30% of the student’s class grade. The State of Florida creates the exam and enforces the EOC exam grade policy.
