US Grade 5 - 8
In 55 minutes we are going to fly through more than a few thousand years of history, meet some fascinating characters, and witness some watershed moments in history. This class is divided into five parts. Part 1: The foundations of democratic rule and look at Ancient Greece and Rome. Part 2: We’ll learn about the oldest known representative democracy on Earth -- the Iroquois Nation -- the Native American tribe that established the Great League of Peace in 1142 and then discuss two more...
Students will know some of the key moments and figures in the history of democracy and they'll have a basic understanding of how history has unfolded from Ancient Greece to the modern world. Please note, this is a 55 minute long class. Students will have a basic understanding of these items but they won't be experts. I recommend taking this one-time class as an overview. Then, if students want to learn more, I also offer this topic as a multi-day class that meets 5 times.
We live in a big and fascinating world and one of my goals with my classes is to help kids develop an interest and appreciation for the world around them and different cultures. My classes draw from my own experiences as a world traveler. I've visited and lived abroad in seventeen countries. I'm a lifelong student of history and I'm also the former deputy director of the historic home of President Ronald Reagan and I am a 2002 graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University with a bachelor of science degree in political science and history. I also have several years of experience in working with students as a teacher and mentor and look forward to having the opportunity to invest in the life of your learner.
