Welcome to this history trivia review class! In this class learners will review historical concepts from history exams, you can request specific examinations or I will review from Common Core assessments. 
Engaging Content: Each session tackles 3-5 questions from archived Global, US, or European history assessments. We focus on questions that resonate with current events, helping students see the relevance of historical events in today's world.
Expert Guidance: Led by a certified New York state teacher, this course uses Common Core Regents examinations to ensure content is both challenging and aligned with educational standards.

Vocabulary Mastery: We'll dive into the specific terms used in historical contexts, ensuring your student understands the language of history.
Critical Analysis: Students will learn to recognize test biases and enhance their analytical skills by dissecting document-based questions.

Interactive Learning:

Other Details

Parental Guidance
This class will often pertain to discussions on world religions. Students will study religion's historical, cultural, literary, social, and political development in the US and the world. Discussions on religions will remain objective and factual so parents should be aware that I often ask open ended questions pertaining to questions on world religions or ask students to explain their present understanding of a world religion from history. When posing this questions, learners may share their own personal knowledge of religion and I encourage everyone to be respectful of the ideologies of others. Certain time periods in history will pertain to genocide, violence during war time, death, human/women rights violations. These topics can be uncomfortable for some learners but I keep the discussions factual and since we work from archived Common Core examinations, the topics of discussion are considered curriculum in most American states.
