Welcome to Mel's History Hub's 'This Week in History'! Do you love juicy stories filled with drama, suspense, and mystery? If so, this is the class for you! Each week, we will look at events, people, inventions, and moments that defined history that occurred in that week. Students of all knowledge levels are welcome as I will provide background information on each week's topics. We explore interesting, unique, and bizarre things from history. This class is intended to be educational, fun, and engaging for students. As a history teacher, I love juicy, unique stories from history, so I will try to include things each week that will interest different historical learners! History is not about remembering boring facts associated with a simple date, it is diving deeper and understanding these moments and why they changed history. In each class, students will be introduced to different historical figures, events, inventions, and moments that defined history or are just really interesting. Students will be guided through an interactive slideshow presentation where they will get to answer and ask questions as we move through a variety of topics. At the end of our class each week, students will get to participate in a fun and interactive game of Kahoot to test their knowledge of what they learned. Students are welcome to join at any point in the course.
Learning Goals
Students will learn and be able to share exciting details of history that they learned from each week.
Students will learn about particular people, events, inventions, and moments that defined history and understand their significance and impact.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
We will be discussing various topics of history. The material presented with be monitored for age-appropriate but we will occasionally be discussing violent conflicts that have occurred in history. There will be no graphic images, videos, or specific information shared with the students.
This class will also use Kahoot. It is an online trivia game. Students will be sent a link through Zoom chat during class time. They will click on the link to take them directly to the game where they will enter their first name or nickname. No apps need to be downloaded and no personal information will be shared.
