Evangel Christian School

8th grade Social Studies spent about two weeks on World War I. We reviewed the causes and reasons for the Great War occurring in Europe. In the beginning it was pure notes, but as the session went on the students were presented with certain hands on materials which were used during the war; i.e. a fold up shovel, Kevlar helmet, etc. From there we learned about the roaring twenties. The inventions such as the assembly line and electricity and causes of the economic boom in America were reviewed. The class has also been engaging in some intrinsically focused classes in regards to what it means to be a Christian and living a life focused on God. The students were given the opportunity to share their thoughts as well as write reflections about their thoughts. The class has grown tremendously since the beginning of the year and are eager for high school. – Mr. McCann
