In this class, we will take a different view of American History - through the union of each state. We will cover each state in the order that they joined the union. This journey will start with the original 13 colonies, the American Revolutionary War, The Civil War, the Reconstruction Period, the Gilded Age, the Industrial Age, both World Wars, the Great Depression, and modern history. We will take a look at what makes each state unique, and explore different aspects of history as they come along. 

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 and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary. 

Each week (for each class meeting), students will be given 2-4 homework options to complete. These could be short 1-2 paragraph research papers, a youtube video or movie to watch, an interview to conduct, or even a place to visit. 

1 hour 30 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
