My minor in college was History and Social Studies. My masters thesis project was to create a class using a variety of sources. I chose a History course (World War II). I have extensive self study in the area and strive to find different view points on information. I am also working on my teaching endorsement in Social Studies (currently I just need to take the praxis). Reviews
