    flag

    This moodle site applies to the eleventh grade American History II classes taught by Mr. Rodger Murphy at Dallastown High School. 

    This course introduces main themes in the history of the United States from World War II to the present. Not only will we be studying the actions of presidents and important people, but we will also look at how common people lived and acted. We will compare the different experiences of various ethnic, religious, and racial groups, social classes, and women. An intent of this course is to introduce the concepts, materials, and tools employed in the discipline of history, and to help develop writing and other skills used in the study of history. By the end of the course you should have developed your ability to think clearly and critically, to ask and research significant questions, to read historical materials intelligently, and to express your ideas in a logical, concise manner.
