I am a highly qualified teacher in history for grades elementary through grade 9. I have taught both history and science in a public school classroom for over 15 years. I was the lead history teacher for my school. I have presented at both local and state social studies teacher conferences. I love to travel and always travel with the purpose of exploring the history of an area. In order for people to understand current events, we must make the effort to look at the difficult stories of the past. I believe it is only in looking to our past can we understand today. This class allows for discussion and reflection of the actions that people took over 400 years ago. The class will teach the causes and effects of colonization. The goal is not to demonize or glorify any group or groups, but to have an understanding of events.

This class focuses on the economic, political, and social reasons for colonization. We will discuss the treatment of the Native American people by European Colonists. There is no way to discuss the effects of European colonization without talking about the overall decline and removal of many Native American tribes from their homelands. We will not go into details about specific tribes during class. Students are encouraged to learn more about individual tribes that lived in their chosen geographic area of research. Religions will be discussed as they were a motivation for colonization. Religions will be discussed in a historical context; specifically, religious freedoms in the colonies compared to in Europe. The African Slave Trade will be discussed as it became an economic factor during colonization. We will look at ways that people fought against the Slave Trade, and why it occurred. Learners will be sent weekly links to optional Kahoot! quizzes. The links are private and are unique to the weekly lesson for each section. Learners do not provide any personal information.
