This one-time class is a trial class for those interested in my year long United States History or World History classes. Students can get a taste of what my year long classes are like before signing up!

US Grade 8 - 11
This trial class is for anyone who might be interested in my year long US or World History 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 classes so that students can get a taste of how I teach, what the assignments are like, and how in-class time 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,...
Students will further their knowledge of Civil War era photography and of the aftermath of battle. Students will be able to analyze the primary sources we will be working with. Students will understand how we can use photographs to further our understanding of the past. Students will get a better idea of my teaching style to determine if my longer history courses would be a good fit for them.
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. I have been teaching both US and World History courses both off and on Outschool for several years. For this particular class I am relying on primary sources as my main source material but have studied this era in history during both my undergrad and grad courses, as well as in my own personal studies of United States History.
A pdf of all materials will be provided prior to class. Students should either print the pages out and bring to class or have the pdf pulled up on their computers during class so that they can fill the pages in.
We will be working with photographs taken in the aftermath of Civil War battles and these photographs do show deceased soldiers. There are no close-up pictures or gore shown, but it is clear that people in the pictures are deceased. We will also be discussing the death that accompanies war and some of the lasting effects of the Civil War.
All materials are provided for students. We will be analyzing Civil War era photographs by Alexander Gardner.
