Learners will improve reading comprehension and writing skills. As an added bonus, they will learn new historical facts.

Each class will start with an article focused on a history topic. These will include areas worldwide and dates between ancient and modern history. As we read, we will work together to find key details. Learners will then take those key details and compose an essay on what they have learned.
