=Welcome to this Teaching American History Project=

This project was created for 8th Grade Students for the 2011 cycle of the TAH grant program for USD 457.
This project is designed for the History and Communications teachers to work together for the length of the project.

====The overall goal for this assignment is to do history. This does not mean just memorizing facts about events in history to pass a test. This project is about using sources to write a unique perspective about history. In the case of this project, it is about creating a podcast. The period focused on is the Industrial Revolution. There are many groups of people involved in creating the new industrial society. The role each individual played relates to the idea of the American Dream. The American Dream is the focus of this project in relation to the Industrial Revolution. The essential question is: //**"Whose American Dream is it Anyway?"**//====

The navigation links to the side will help guide you through this historical discovery. Each page will take you one day to complete. Take your time and lets get started!
