If time allows they will also learn about other events that happened during the week in history as well. Upcoming classes and topics covered: Week of...
I love history and learning about how people lived during different times. I like to do research into different events and the impact they had on the world. I believe we need to learn from the past and what happened in order to impact the future. One of my favorite quotes is "Those who don't learn from History are doomed to repeat it" I want to pass that on to my learners so they will also learn and impact the world. I teach history classes on Outschool in a variety of formats and subjects. In this class I want learners to hear what really happened so they can form their own opinions and learn from the past. I welcome their insight into the events and questions about what happened, and it's effect on the world today.
20 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
This class will cover a wide variety of topics. Some may be controversial from a variety of viewpoints. They will be presented in a factual manner, and any violence will be attempted to tone down. Parents are encouraged to look at the week's topic before class to decide if it is appropriate for their learner. Please contact the teacher with any questions or concerns before class.
