Students will learn more about history and the dogs that affected it. We will also look at different breeds of dogs and how they impact us every day. Students will use philosophy to think about the history of dogs and humans, and with this new understanding, we will ask the abstract question, "If these people, we learn about, never had a dog in their life, would they still have made the same decision?"
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
During this class, we talk about history and the dogs that have helped influence the people they shared their lives with. There are some stories of dogs that die due to the historical situation (i.e., war, famine, etc.), but these stories and the history being told will be discussed in an age-appropriate manner.
Some of the books I have used to create this class are: Always Faithful: A Memoir of the Marine Dogs of WWII; A Dog Called Hope: The wounded warrior and the dog who dared to love him; At Home and Astray; The Great Cat and Dog Massacre; Dog of Discovery; Citizen Canine; The Eternal Soldier; The History of the World in Fifty Dogs This is just a portion of the books I have read/use for this class. If you would like a list of all the title, please reach out to me and I can send you a full list.
