Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 9
This class is taught in English.
Students will use their interest in Star Wars to expand their knowledge of the history and culture of the ancient and medieval world as well as gain a greater understanding of the traditional characters and storylines in ancient and medieval literature. 
Hello! I’m Sondra Rapoport, your friendly neighborhood Roman Historian. I taught with Harvard University's Dept. of Classics for 6 years as a Head Teaching Fellow. I taught Medieval Culture, Roman Games (gladiators), and The Rome of Augustus, for which I was nominated for the Levenson Teaching Award and won awards for distinction in teaching each semester I taught with Harvard. Now, I homeschool my son and I greatly enjoy adapting my knowledge and classes designed for university level to each of his grade levels. On of my goals is to bring Classics into the modern world. 
THESE BOOKS ARE NOT REQUIRED.
I recommend these books for a greater understanding of the mythology, history, and culture of the Ancient and Medieval world.
