I have loved history since I read a play about Charlemagne in my 9th grade social studies class. While I specialize in European history I can't turn down a good book, documentary or class about the past. I have passed on that love to my own children as well as others I have had the pleasure and opportunity to assist and teach in my local public school system. Aside from my vast knowledge from books I earned a minor in history from Ashford University. I can't wait to pass my love and knowledge on to others.

Student will be required to complete a paragraph about a topic we learned and discussed during the lesson. This will help them gage whether they have retained knowledge on this subject.

1 hour 15 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

I have studied for many years and have read numerous books while completing my degree and afterwards, and viewed many documentaries. This is not a complete list of the sources that compile my knowledge. However, Here are a few books and videos/documentaries that I have used to build my knowledge over the years:
