Students will practice and perfect the following: 
listening in class to mini-lectures
note taking with handouts
reviewing notes 
giving answers in class based on notes
taking mini-informal quizzes using notes
learning new academic vocabulary:
                    archeological evidence
                    evidence based conjecture
                    hypothesis
                    ethnobotanists
learning not only history--but what historians do and the different kinds of history that cross disciplines

My desire is to hook learners on history, by presenting captivating people and relay how history from the past present us with an understanding of today.  As a college rhetoric instructor I've found that students will learn very challenging material if they are able to present to me what they already know and either challenge or build upon that knowledge. Moreover, I frame learning about history by teaching students how to become mini-academics and look at anecdotal evidence using some of the very basic skills a scientist or historian would use. Students will become active learners as they attempt to use these skills to figure out why people thought witches cast dangerous spells and hexes--and why they thought these spells worked.
