Unit+One+(1st+Quarter)

==Background on Unit One- This year, we are starting Unit one off with an introduction to all things culture...your own culture, your class culture, the culture of where you live, and then eventually moving on to Indian Culture. Once we have talked about Indians and Pioneers, we are going to look closely at Westward Expansion and Manifest Destiny.==
