Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
Welcome to Warrior Queens! In this class, we will explore 12 incredible women from history. We will learn about the time period in which they lived, what we know of their personal lives and actions, and examine how history has remembered them. 

This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities (recipes, movies, dioramas, experiments, etc.). Please see the syllabus below for a layout of the lessons included in this course. 


This class is presented in an asynchronous format. If you are taking this class through the Class Subscriptions, there will be no communication between learner and myself. If you are taking this class through the Self-Paced format, you will have 1 year to complete the lessons. If you choose to submit homework or communicate (questions on the classroom page), I will respond within 24 hours (excluding Sundays).

Learning Goals

Students will learn about different time periods in history, the different paths these women took to obtain and keep their power, and analyze their role in history. 

Our goals for this class are to:

Write about what we learn through a traditional essay format.
Use primary sources and different types of media (such as film and art) to learn about historical events.
Learn about historical events through the context of geography and how it affected different events.
Research, organize, and present their research on various topics, events, and figures.
Discuss topics while focusing on using specific details, facts, and reasons to support their opinions.
Use technology to research both past and current events and topics. 
To be able to construct arguments and rebuttals
Recognized Inequities and their causes
Understand differences between present and past perspectives, and apply it to present day issues
