In this 8 week course, students will learn about the prehistoric, ancient, and classical world history. Each week students will learn multiple new topics each week ensuring that they stay focused and have fun learning; which is extremely important. We will be following the schedule below; a syllabus will be given to each student to ensure that they are aware of the review questions, quizzes, and projects that will be due. Week 1: What is History & The Prehistoric World (The Earliest Humans) - Cave Art Project Week 2: Prehistoric to The Ancient World (Early Societies - The Near East) - Researching Ancient Laws Week 3: The Ancient World (Egypt and Europe) Week 4: The Ancient World (South Asia, East Asia, The Americas) Week 5: The Classical World (Persia, Greece, Rome) - Julius Caesar Project Week 6: The Classical World (Celtic, Germanic, People of the Steppes) Week 7: The Classical World (India, China, and The Americas) Week 8: Completion of Course & Review & Project - Creating a Monument This course is designed using a PowerPoint presentation while incorporating video/audio clips if relevant to that weeks topic. Students will need to assess the weekly videos via a YouTube link that will be provided in the classroom each week. Students are encouraged to interact with other students via the classroom post each week and by sharing interesting details about each topic - Students will also need to upload their projects and research to the online classroom to share with others. This course does require classroom interaction. Each week we move through our lessons quickly and efficiently keeping students engaged; we discuss the topics in an unbiased manner by teaching the students only the facts about each topic through science, historical, and world history literature (encyclopedia's, Penguin Random House resources, and unbiased curriculum reference books).

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have over fifteen years of experience teaching elementary, middle, and high school students in both public and private settings. I have been teaching history for over fifteen years as well; this current class curriculum was created by me and has been used by me for over fifteen years as well in a live public setting (with amazing results). I thrive to give students a fun learning experience that provides them with facts only; I do understand some topics share multiple points of view but, an unbiased approach is necessary in this course type.
This flex course has been requested but, I do teach this course live on Outschool currently; the link is below:
