In this class, your learners will be introduced to the birthplace of democracy by an Australian Archaeologist. They will learn about how the city-state of Athens developed the novel form of government democracy, & changed the world forever.

Class experience

Learners will study ancient history through the context of modern democracy, and they will understand how fragile the circumstances surrounding its conception really were.

I am also a homeschool father of multiple children. We have always homeschooled and participated in distance education. We came to Outschool in 2018 as learners, and now I am excited to also teach on this platform. I understand the needs of parents of learners here as I am one myself. Further, I am a native English speaker. 
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
- I will screen share Google Slides and YouTube during this class.
- Learners do not need to access the internet outside of Outschool during this class.
