6 Degrees of Separation in History
Melissa Quijano M. Ed.
Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(530)
Students will grapple with the "6 degrees of separation" separating historical or cultural events or phenomena. This is a great class for "history nerds" and gifted/talented learners. This class has a large socialization component.
Class experience
US Grade 8 - 11
The 6 Degrees of Separation is a social theory that all people are connected by 6 or less people, and the trick is figuring out who those people are. But what if we applied this type of thinking to historical events or cultural phenomena? This class is part history activity and part social class. Students should not expect to learn something but rather exercise their historical knowledge. Each class will have students grappling with two seemingly unrelated historical events/cultural...
Students will learn that all things in history are connected whether the connection is obvious or not. Students will analyze historical events for their global implications. Students will engage in group research to answer challenging questions. Students will discuss their ideas as a group. Students will share what they know about topics and be receptive about what they don't know. Students will create a list of the 6 degrees of separation between historical phenomena.
I have a bachelors degree in creative writing and a masters degree in social studies adolescent education. What this basically means is I have a very creative view on history and social studies. As an avid reader of historical fiction, as well as a fashion historian, I thrive on finding connections between topics that may seem obscure or disconnected. The current global climate puts into stark perspective how interconnected the world is, and this class builds upon that idea.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
This class can cover any aspect of global history. This includes war, genocide, revolution, slavery, imperialism, civil rights, and many more topics. Since students are encouraged to bring their own ideas of the class, a wide range of topics may be discussed based on student knowledge. Students should have a general knowledge of world history. This is a discussion based class and students will have to communicate verbally or through the class chat in Zoom.

Hi! My name is Melissa Quijano (she/her) and I teach classes focused on history and fashion. Whether my classes are focused on the contemporary or the past, I want students to come away with a greater understanding of their culture and themselves....
