Welcome to Unsolved Mysteries in History! This 4-week course will allow students to sharpen their critical thinking skills as we discuss events throughout history that can not fully be explained. We will explore Stonehenge, Lost Tombs in Egypt, the Lost Colony of Roanoke, and much more! Students will have the opportunity to refresh skills before the upcoming school year and build an appreciation for Social Studies. We will be using Common Core State Standards to practice skills that are essential in Social Studies and in education. This course will also provide support in ELA skills. Using a combination of presentation, discussion, video, and games we will create an experience that will be educational as well as fun! As stated in my teaching profile, it is my firm belief that education should be enjoyable for all learners. Too often skills learned while studying history are left out of the educational experience. This summer students will be able to learn valuable and applicable skills not just for the classroom but for life.
Learning Goals
This class will include lessons that reinforce skills stated in CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6.1-8.1- 8.10. Students will determine the central idea of primary and secondary texts, cite evidence to support an analysis of a text, and much more!Syllabus
