Parental Guidance
Please be advised that this class discusses the sensitive topic of war and death. I do not discuss the specifics of these topics, as the lessons are meant to be introductory for elementary students. I do encourage learners to consider the reasons for these conflicts and discuss whether those reasons are “fair”. I believe introducing world history broadly to elementary students prepares them for more in-depth study in middle school and beyond.
Supply List
A sketchbook is a great tool for collecting the drawings created in class. For most projects, I use markers, but learners are encouraged to use any art supplies they have.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

My love of history and geo-political issues led me to recieve a doctorate in law.
