Dear students and families:
Welcome to the website for 8th grade history class at Boston Collegiate! This website is a resource for you as we travel through the histories of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East together. I have included course materials, project descriptions, and study aids.You will also find information about field trips, middle school events, history tutoring and resources you can access throughout greater Boston. The website will be updated regularly to reflect current assignments and projects. 
Best wishes,
Ms. Feldman

What is history?

History is not the accumulation of events of every kind which happened in the past. It is the science of human societies.
