Unit 3: Inventors
In this unit, students will study several historical figures and their contributions to American history and culture, using the theme of individuals, groups, and institutions. As these figures were prominent during a time of growth and change in our country, the themes of location and time, change, and continuity will help students understand the importance of place in people’s lives, as well as patterns that occur throughout history. Finally, students will use the theme of scarcity to understand why the historical figures under study made the choices that they made.
