This Ancient Civilizations class will explore various aspects of civilization growth and development. My goal is to inspire my learners to be historic investigators! More than just a history class- I will include opportunities for students to improve inquiry & critical thinking skills. As global citizens, I want my learners to explore more than what a textbook would provide, and to be able to interpret information from multiple sources and viewpoints.

This history about the Ancient Civilizations course is exciting, interesting, and will undoubtedly include sensitive subjects- as is true of all history. I will work hard to ensure discussion remains age-appropriate and pro-actively contact parents if any questionable situations occur. Enslaved labor, racial & gender discrimination, and religious struggles are common themes embedded in these history lessons. Please be aware that these inequalities will not be ignored.
