Learning Goals
To learn about British History and gain a greater understanding of the World Wars
Other Details
Parental Guidance
The biggest guidance I would suggest is when something needs to be looked up on the internet that the parents are aware of what websites their children are going to. Also, there will be talks about wars that Britain was involved with.
Supply List
Parents will simply need a computer, a notebook, pen, and a student who wants to learn how history in Britain really did effect the world and how one nation, though small, made a huge impact.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am originally from Britain, and as a child, I went around many stately homes. My parents were both born in the 1930s, and my mum's stories of WWII allowed me to see history in such a different way. I have taken many classes in history and my love for history has grown over the years, that I would love to share this love to allow students to see that history can be fun to learn. Reviews
