Welcome to Louisiana Studies

Perhaps you are thinking, "But Mr. B., my schedule says 'Louisiana History?'"

Yes, it does. However, the official course title is a little misleading. The course objectives set by the State of Louisiana (also known as "grade-level expectations," or "GLEs" for short) are almost evenly divided between geography, civics, economics, and history. We will start the course with an overview of expectations. We will discuss major projects, especially the research paper. We will then cover the GLEs that concern historical thinking skills (62-70) to prepare you to complete the class projects that use these skills.
