This small-group FLEX class will explore the time when the Ice Age ended, Mesopotamia, and Ancient Egypt.  

This class can be considered part 1 of my 3 part Ancient Civilizations series, although they can be taken out of order and no prior knowledge is required.

My goal is to inspire my learners to be historic investigators!  As global citizens, I want my learners to explore and interpret information from multiple sources and viewpoints.  

This is a FLEX class, meaning there are no scheduled live meetings. That being said, if multiple enrolled learners are interested in an optional face-to-face meeting, I can certainly see about arranging one. 

Class logistic details:
On Monday of each week, information will be posted in the Outschool classroom, so that learners know the focus for the week and how to access the lesson (which will be in a self-paced Nearpod).  Weeks will run from Monday through Sunday, although I completely understand if anyone needs more time. All of the activities will be available for the entire 4 weeks. To allow for personalization and differentiation, a variety of optional activities will be included.  Some of the optional activities include: polls, discussion boards, virtual field trips, matching activities, games, WebQuests, and videos etc...  I've created all of the Nearpods and will be regularly interacting with the discussion boards.  I'll also be providing an optional student guide that can be used for note-taking.

Order of topics:
Week 1: Introduction/Big Human History (the end of the Ice Age until the first civilizations started to grow).
Week 2: Ancient Mesopotamia
Week 3: Catch-up week 
Week 4: Ancient Egypt

Students are encouraged to ask questions, if needed.  ALL activities in the weekly Nearpod are optional, so I recommend discussion between parents and learners to ensure expectations are clear.  Obviously, the more a learner engages with the course content, the more they will get out of the class. 

A positive class culture is a must and it is assumed everyone will treat each other with respect.  Most importantly, I want all learners and parents to be 100% happy with the quality of this class.  I would appreciate if concerns, questions, or ideas for improvement could be communicated before the end of the class, so that I have the opportunity to make adjustments.

*If you're interested in this class and cannot find a suitable scheduled section, I recommend the self-schedule option or you can contact me to schedule another section. I'm also happy to offer sibling discounts and/or multiple enrollment discounts.
