Please be advised that this class often discusses the sensitive topics of war and slavery.  The early modern history of the world is a time when western societies colonized many continents and enslaved and/or otherwise mistreated the indigenous people.  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 motivation for these conflicts and discuss whether they are “fair”. Objectivity is my highest priority when teaching history. Each lesson will provide information from multiple perspectives. This class is not intended to be an opinion course, and will focus only on facts. Discussion among students on each week’s topic is encouraged.  I believe introducing world history broadly to elementary students prepares them for more in-depth study in middle school and beyond.
