High School

This unit looks at what has been going on around you while you’ve been in high school: What have you seen? What have you missed? It looks at the impact that the ongoing war on terror has had on a generation of teens, the perceived adult reaction to teens, an increase in citizen activism, and how the economic choices of their lifetimes came to fruition. The unit then compares these with teens from other eras (ex: Vietnam, The Roaring 20s, and the Great Depression) to show the similarities and differences between the generations.
