Are you ready to embark on a thrilling adventure across the United States?

This class is meant to be a brief overview of the history of each US state, therefore we will not discuss much of the controversial topics that come with a deep dive into US History. However, some sensitive topics may come up like the genocide of Indigenous Nations and the cruelty of slavery in the US. I am an experienced Social Studies teacher in both Utah and North Carolina. In my training and 5+ years experience teaching I have found that the best way to approach these sensitive topics is to address them explicitly and have an open conversation with my students. You or your student are always welcome to meet with me individually if you are bothered by anything! These topics can be difficult to navigate and I am always trying to improve!

I believe students retain information best when they are active participants in the learning process, so I incorporate student participation as much as possible. Nearpod is free for students and does NOT require you to create an account. I will provide more information about Nearpod once you enroll.
