Exploring America in the 2000s: New Millennium, New U.S. is an
interdisciplinary humanities unit that looks at literature, art,
and music of the 2000s to provide an understanding of how those
living through the decade experienced and felt about the world
around them. Through the lens of "identity," it explores life in
America and the myriad groups that coexisted in harmony and, often,
with friction. Cultural movements like the rise of social media and
the advancements of minorities are examined alongside larger issues
such as 9/11 and its profound effect on American identity, our
redefined role in the War on Terror, increasing environmental
awareness, and economic recession and corporate struggles. The unit
uses field-tested instructional strategies for language arts and
social studies from The College of William and Mary, as well as new
strategies, and it includes graphic organizers and other tools for
analyzing primary sources. Grades 6-8
