These activities do not require additional materials, and can be easily be adapted to whatever the student has readily available. If your learner is seeking to obtain credit or course feedback, students are urged to participate in completing their projects in a timely manner.

As this is a history course Historical sources, there may be mention of death, racism, gender, abuse, genocide, war, disease, religion, and other topics that may be sensitive to some learners. All topics will be taught in an age appropriate manner, in a Historical context. Students will be urged to interpret their own conclusions. Views presented in these primary sources are not my own, rather they are first hand accounts and based on the perspective of the writer. Resources used to create context for this history course are listed below and may be periodically updated; therefore parents are urged to save this page and revisit. 

This class is presented from an inclusive lens and will present a variety of perspectives for students to evaluate, particularly those of historically under-represented groups.
