US Grade 10 - 12
In this class I will teach students a skeleton overview of what will be covered in the first semester of a typical AP European History course. I have developed this class to enrich the background knowledge of students so they can confidently begin their study of AP Euro knowing that they have a leg up on the material. I love history and try to make my classes engaging and fun. I also know how difficult this information can be, so I provide tricks to help keep the information organized and memorable, including a timeline project and mnemonic devices. For each class I will: * Build the class around "watershed dates" for each unit to aid in memorization and to help students see how the events connect with each other. * provide a detailed lecture and a Google slides presentation on the topics for each lesson. Presentations may include video clips, works of art, or audio files. * provide links to outside resources they may use to learn more about each topic. * access to Quizlet and Blooket review games on the major topics from each class.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the major events of European History from c. 1400 - 1815.
