Throughout this course, students will examine individuals and groups whose actions and beliefs could be described as "morally wrong" or "controversial," such as John Brown, Edward Snowden, and anti-suffragists. The purpose of course is not to speak for or against their actions and beliefs, but rather to analyze and explain their motivations for taking on those actions and beliefs. Actions and beliefs held by the figures studied in this class include murder, political violence, and bigotry. These topics are addressed to aid our understanding. Your learner should be ready to learn about and discuss historical figures and events featuring these topics. Students will use Google Sites to create their websites for the Unit Four project. I will show them how to navigate the site and create their campaign website.
