Welcome to 8th grade social studies. 
The focus of the year will be on United States studies. We will start with an exploration of the U.S. Constitution. We'll learn why and how the Constitution was written, then explore its format. Most importantly, we will learn how the Constitution applies to everyday life.
As part of the Constitution unit, we will also examine the organization of the federal government. As election day approaches, students will become familiar with the issues on the Maine ballot.
