In this one time class, I will introduce Caroline from the American Girl book series. We will talk about who she is and why her books are great examples of courage, kindness, and thinking through decisions before they are made. Caroline is an only-child in her household, but this has made her very self-reliant. Caroline likes to do things that are outside of the "norm" for young ladies to do. She likes to sail and wants to be a captain of a ship, even though in Caroline's time, that's not a "normal" job for a girl. Caroline likes to be adventurous and daring, but sometimes, doesn't realize what the consequences are. I will review a brief preview of all of her books/stories, talk about Caroline and her characteristics, but mostly, talking about the time in which she lived. I will talk about what it was like to be a kid living in America during the War Of 1812.
Learning Goals
Students will learn different elements of American life during the War Of 1812 using the American Girl "Caroline" book series as a reference.

Hi there!
My name is Mrs. Rodenbeck and I am a middle school history teacher! I have taught 6th, 7th, and 8th, grade history for the past 5 years! Before that, I taught high school history. I absolutely LOVE learning about people from the past! I like understanding how people lived in different times in history.
I studied anthropology in college. My goal as a kid was to be Indiana Jones! Archaeology and cultural anthropology are my favorite disciplines. I like to learn about what past peoples have built and how those things impact their culture. I’ve even done work for Chicago’s Field Museum since 2007. Now I work in the education department at the Field Museum with other teachers and bringing history topics into their classrooms.
I love teaching about the American Girl books and their periods of time in history because I used to WORK at the American Girl store in Chicago. I worked there all throughout my college years. I loved American Girl when I was a kid and I loved it, even more, when I worked at the store in college!
I hope that from this course, you can take some of my passion for history and for American Girl and get a little more excited about learning about other people. There are so many fun and exciting things to learn about! I can’t wait to share them with you!
