Description

Class Experience

To understand this classic holiday story and it's origins. 
I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions.  I have a passion for history and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary. 
Students are encouraged to watch any version of the nutcracker story before class. There are many different versions on Amazon. Any version (even Barbie or The Nutcrackers) will give the students a basic knowledge of the story and characters.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
There may be some Youtube videos that are seen during this class. I will share my screen and learners will not need to access them on their own. 
Some of the sources used for this class are, but not limited to: 
Smithsonian
Britannica
National Geographic
PBS
Library of Congress
