Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Students are welcome to join part 2 even if they have not completed part 1. This course coordinates with my British Literature courses.  This class is taught at a standard level, however, I am able to offer additional work as well as AP designation on your transcript if you would like your student to take this class at an AP level, as I am AP authorized for this course--please contact me about this option.

This course is a rhetorical level course intended to introduce the student to the major themes and moments in the second half of modern European history from the 19th century.  This course will involve both writing and reading.  We will be reading a full-range of primary documents from each time period and geographical area we study.  You will be learning how to read, think about, analyze, argue with, and present ideas about history and to connect events to the larger trends and themes in European history.

This class is a discussion-based, interactive format.  Each week you will be responsible for reading background material and assigned primary documents.  You will be expected to write a reading response for each of your readings.  These reading responses should be 1-2 pages on the background material for each time period in history and the important elements of the work.  You should be building a timeline of major events in world history across geographical boundaries.    In class, we will spend much time discussing our reading, putting themes in their historical context and asking questions about the author’s and our own worldviews.  I expect you to come to class prepared to participate in this discussion. You will also be assigned brief presentations.  These presentations will involve researching the biographical information for significant figures and key information for major moments we will study in class.

European history often contains moments of violence or discrimination. These moments will not be glorified in this class, but will be mentioned when appropriate for the high school level. Parental guidance is always suggested throughout this class, especially for sensitive students.
