All About Alaska High School Age - Learn About the People, Land, and Animals

This class is taught in English.

Learning all about Alaska from the people, the land, plants, and animals. Each class will cover all shorts of fun and interesting information about Alaska. After each class each learner will be an expert in the topic we covered for the day. 

Mr. G has 20 plus years teaching in Alaska and he has lived in Alaska for 25 years! The week on Alaska Cultures is a general Look Into Alaskan Cultures - Interesting information and culture about as well as on each of the different Alaskan cultures that are throughout the state of Alaska. Where each culture group lived (traditional homeland), Houses and Settlement, Tools/Technology, Trade, Regalia, and Animals (food, travel, furs). I have taught Alaska History and Cultural Studies for 20 years as an educator in Alaska. I also have lived in nearly each region of Alaska (except for the Aleutian Islands and the North Slope). My degree is in Western American History/Native American History/Alaska History, and since graduating from the University of Northern Colorado with a BA focus in these areas I have also taken several graduate courses specific in Alaska History and Native Alaskan Cultures. 

None

Socratic method of teaching with lots of discussion, questions, informal and formal assessment, and fun quiz like game at the end of class. 

25 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

There is not a single Alaska History or All About Alaska Textbook. The material is a combination of many different sources. Also, one of the best sources for Alaska information is that Mr. G has lived and experienced Alaska for five years as a kid and  twenty years as an adult. I have also taken and attended several graduate courses on Alaska. Alaska History and Cultural Studies. A week long graduate program on Alaska History, Culture, Science, and Geography.
