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.
Students are provided links to the free Kahoot! platform to play review games after each class. Students are provided guided-note templates for use during or after class. Students are provided with optional resources to supplement the class lessons.

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 nations from their homelands. We will not go into detail about specific nations during class, but will name specific changes to the Wampanoag, Yemassee, and Powhatan Native nations. Students are encouraged to learn more about individual nations 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 different colonial regions. The African Slave Trade will be discussed as it too became an economic factor during colonization. We will discuss the economic reasons for the Slave Trade, with the understanding that it was a forced migration of people from western Africa.
Students will be provided graphic-organizers handouts and links to student appropriate sources for each lesson. Horrible Histories: Jamestown, New World Often, historical resources are based on first-person accounts or primary sources. These sources are often considered bias and must be placed in the context of the time period. This class does not teach using derogatory or slang words. If a student has a question about a word or event and why it was used or happened, I will be glad to explain it during class or in a private email through Outschool.

About Me
I believe that students need to see the personal side of the world. When students begin to see a unique story in a history or science lesson, they become engaged and learn. I speak French and love to travel to countries where I can immerse...
