U.S. History is long and complicated. In this class, which is part of a 12 part series, we will delve into early North American history, learn about many of the various Native American cultures that were living in North America, the various European countries that explored and settled, and to gain a better understanding of the chronological order of American history. It is not required to take each course in order or to take all 12 parts. Topics covered will be: 1. North American early...
Learners will take an in-depth look at the many different people who impacted history and both key and little known events that shaped the U.S. History. This course, Part 1 of 12, will cover early North American history through 1700.
I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions. I have a passion for history, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary. I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism.
Each week, learners will be given various readings, worksheets and discussion questions, and key assignments that will help them in understanding the material covered. These will vary from week to week. Learners will also have their choice of weekly extension projects.
No live meetings, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
This class will utilize Youtube videos for sharing of lecture videos, as well as supplemental lessons. All Youtube videos are embedded into the Outschool platform. This class may also utilize Kahoot. Learners will be given a direct link and game pin to play. This class will cover early American history, which includes topics of violence, domination, racism, slavery, and discrimination. All topics will be discussed at an age appropriate level. (Please check the age group of the class before registering.) Some of the sources used for this course use derogatory and racist language towards Native Americans, African Americans, and others. My goal for this course is to be inclusive and to highlight how history is often more commonly written from the perspective of the perceived winner and to create an inclusive class that highlights multiple perspectives of history.
