My Project

In eighth grade, our students have the unique opportunity to examine the great state they live in, West Virginia. This includes a study of the geography, economics, government, and history of our state. Students take the course for the entire school year, and become very engaged with learning about their state.

While useful to provide a framework for our learning, our West Virginia studies textbooks largely skim the surface when covering material.

Often, this leaves our students with the desire to learn more. The books included in this project will allow my students to more closely examine topics related to pop culture, legends and lore, the Civil War, government, and numerous other topics related to our great state. This will aim to spur on greater discussion of topics related to West Virginia and allow my students to learn as much as possible about the state.
