This is the first in a series of year-long History classes, specifically covering Early Modern History. This class uses the Curiosity Chronicles curriculum to teach Early Modern History for 3rd to 6th graders. Curiosity Chronicles teaches history via conversation between two main characters - Mona and Ted - allowing for the study of history to feel more fun than academic! The student textbook and activity guide will be provided for at home use. I teach in a Socratic style, preferring to ask students for their thoughts instead of imparting my own. As a result, classes tend to be discussion-based. Each week, we will read a chapter of the student text and complete the student activity pages. The first meeting each week will focus on the textbook work, and we will work on a timeline, complete map work, and learn about each "culture corner" in the second meeting. Our general class outline: Week 1: England Picks a Religion Week 2: Elizabeth Extends Her Reach Week 3: The Gold and Silver of the Spanish Main Week 4: Spain Runs Out of Money Week 5: Russia Has A Terrible Time Week 6: Poland Creates the Golden Liberty Week 7: Esfahan Is Half the World Week 8: The Taj Mahal Rises In India Week 9: Admiral Yi Saves Korea Week 10: Tokugawa Ieyasu Brings Stability to Japan Week 11: The Dutch Run the Most Successful Company in the World Week 12: England Starts Colonizing for God and Gold This class is intended as an elementary history class, so while additional resources are listed in the textbook, we will cover them only as time permits. Students will need access to their textbook and each chapter's activity guide materials while in class.
Learning Goals
Students will gain an understanding of Early Modern History. They will learn how civilizations interacted, and create a timeline to understand how many cultures developed across time.
