Weekly World War 1, 2 and General Military History Chat and Show and Tell! - WW1 - World War One - World War Two - WW2
Class experience
US Grade 5 - 8
I am very excited about this class! I have enjoyed teaching my courses and one-time classes on Outschool, but now want to expand into the ongoing class genre. Without further ado, I give you The Chat! I want this class to have more discussions, opinions and input from the different learners in the classes. Each week, we will discuss something new from military history...the Roman Army, The British Brown Bess Musket, The Battle of the Somme, and the German Tiger tank. These lessons will be...
I have been teaching military history to elementary students since 2001 and parents have appreciated the approach I use given the age of the students. I try to keep our study away from the more age inappropriate topics, such as The Holocaust, harsh treatment of POW's, etc. It is not that these topics aren't important, it's just that the age range for these lessons (8-14) is a bit on the younger side, so I feel that they are better left to teachers of older grades. When I do get questions about the more disturbing aspects of the war, I might answer along the lines of, "these soldiers went into this country and did not treat the people there well," instead of giving specifics. Having said this, please be aware that these classes are about warfare and military history. One aspect of this is to talk about weapons from the corresponding era, and to discuss advancements in military technology. I don't handle any firearms personally, but we do discuss weapons and technology and I show pictures and videos when appropriate. If your learner is sensitive to this kind of subject, and may get frightened or upset upon seeing a picture of a rifle, cannon, tank or bullet, then this may not be the class for them. This is a class about military history, and there is no way to avoid this, so please take this into account before signing up.
