My class will be structured along a timeline of both Arochukwu History and British Imperial History
I will teach using a mixture of discussion, lectures, and use of actual historical maps and statistics. 
My teaching style can be described as interactive
I will engage learners through discussion and ask for some of their input on these subject matters.
No prior knowledge, only requirement is to like history, even "obscure history"

Learning Goals

Students will learn about the conflict between the Arochukwu Kingdom and British Empire
