This trial class is for anyone who might be interested in my year long US or World History Self-paced courses but is hesitant to commit before knowing if my teaching style is a good fit. This one-time class is structured just like my year long self-paced classes so that students can get a taste of how I teach, what the assignments are like, and how the self-paced class week flows. This is a great example for how my longer classes will run and should provide students with an idea of my teaching style. All of my classes, especially my US History classes, are inclusive and anti-racist. We will be covering tough subjects and tackling tough topics from the point of view of the people involved, particularly the marginalized groups involved. I currently offer two four-part United States History series and two four-part World History series. Part one of each series can be found at the links below. All of my history classes rely heavily on primary sources because I believe the best way to learn history is through the eyes of those who lived it. This class, as well as my year long classes, begin with a lecture video by me on Monday, along with an assignment where learners will work on analyzing primary source materials such as photos, letters, diary entries, documents, or other written resources. This one-time class focuses on Civil War photographs. In the video lecture, I will give background on Civil War era photography and the Battle of Antietam. Then learners will work to analyze several photographs from the Battle of Antietam using the provided guiding questions. All materials for this class will be provided by me and learners can either print the included pdf and write on the pages or type directly onto the pdf. Learners need no prior knowledge of the time period prior to taking this class. Please note: We will be looking at photographs of the aftermath of war and several photos include images of deceased soldiers. There are no close-up pictures or pictures of gore, but it is clear that these are deceased soldiers in the pictures.

My Masters degree is in American Studies and I spent a great deal of my graduate studies focusing on the Civil War, Westward Expansion, and the Industrial Revolution.
