Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
Welcome to History! In this fifth grade level course, students  will learn about European exploration of North America, the intersection and conflict among Native, European, and African cultures, and the colonization of North America. In addition, in this class, students will study the American Revolution and investigate the foundational documents of the United States, including the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights. Using an array of source materials,  students will explore, analyze and critique individual rights and responsibilities in the United States. They will learn about the important historical events and diverse actors of the American Colonies, Revolution, and the New Nation. Students will study how culture shapes laws, how laws ensure rights and responsibilities for the people who live within a society will we and discuss how these ideas manifest today. We will learn about many different people and perspectives of the early years of the United States. 

This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities (recipes, movies, dioramas, experiments, etc.). Please see the syllabus below for a layout of the lessons included in this course. 


This class is presented in an asynchronous format. If you are taking this class through the Class Subscriptions, there will be no communication between learner and myself. If you are taking this class through the Self-Paced format, you will have 1 year to complete the lessons. If you choose to submit homework or communicate (questions on the classroom page), I will respond within 24 hours (excluding Sundays).
