Black History: Not Your Average History Class with Sarah (7 week flex class)

In this 7 week flex course course we will look at various black individuals and why they have been an important part of history. This course will highlight individuals that aren’t always taught or brought up in traditional history classes. Their achievements aren’t always well known to the average student and this course will help to bridge that gap. It will allow students to gain a new knowledge base about these individuals. We will also have  discussions about what you believe the reason to be for why we don’t alway see these people in our history books. 

Students will receive Edpuzzle videos and quizizz review games to help with learning and reviewing the content for each week.

I am a certified history teacher and I love history especially ancient cultures so we will have a variety of topics and individuals. Due to this I have taken a variety of history courses throughout the years including African American studies. I have taught US history, Ancient Cultures and Geography of World Regions so the individuals will be from various parts of the world.

Week 7: Final project/video submission (Students will work on a project over the 7 week course. They will share this project with the other students through messaging.
