Welcome to Mr. Driscoll's Social Studies website. In Social
Studies this year we will be studying our world in a different way
than with which many are familiar. We will determine how we
arrived here by looking at the major themes that have led us.
We begin by learning about basic economic systems.
We continue with technology and its effects on our lives. We will
also consider themes that answer questions like:
Why do people come to America?
What is the role of government in people's lives?
What is worth fighting for?
Why does discrimination exist, and what forms does it take in America?
What makes a good leader?
How does dissent make America stronger?
Current events will be a part of our learning
throughout the year. Students are encouraged to develop opinions
and express them.
