Description
Class Experience
After teaching on Outschool for over 2 years, I have greatly enjoyed sharing my uniform collection and knowledge with learners all over the world. The idea for starting a class like this came organically from conversations with students with collections of their own. They constantly want to share their own collections and learn more about uniforms and equipment from different time periods and eras of history. So the idea for a Junior Reenactor class on Outschool came to life! I will: Share...
I have been a living historian for 25 years and have acquired a vast amount of knowledge on the subject. I don't claim to know everything, but certainly enough to keep interest and enthusiasm high.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
I have been teaching military history to elementary students since 2001 and parents have appreciated the approach I use given the age of the students. I try to keep our study away from the more age inappropriate topics, such as The Holocaust, harsh treatment of POW's, etc. It is not that these topics aren't important, it's just that the age range for these lessons (8-14) is a bit on the younger side, so I feel that they are better left to teachers of older grades. When I do get questions about the more disturbing aspects of the war, I might answer along the lines of, "these soldiers went into this country and did not treat the people there well," instead of giving specifics. Having said this, please be aware that these classes are about warfare and military history. One aspect of this is to talk about weapons from the corresponding era, and to discuss advancements in military technology. I don't handle any firearms personally, but we do discuss weapons and technology and I show pictures and videos when appropriate. If your learner is sensitive to this kind of subject, and may get frightened or upset upon seeing a picture of a rifle, cannon, tank or bullet, then this may not be the class for them. This is a class about military history, and there is no way to avoid this, so please take this into account before signing up. I also utilize some third party tools, such as YouTube, Wikipedia and Google Slides. All videos that are shown are all previewed by me for appropriate content.
