This class will take students on a journey to the past to see how the world has changed. Each week students will compare different activities that were done in past to how they are done in modern day. Each class is a standalone class and the classes do not build on each other, students can join at any time. Students will experience how life was like and how it has changed through games, crafts, and dance, among other activities.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I love history and learning about how people lived during different times. I like to do research into how people lived and trying things out for myself. I believe the best way to learn about something is to try and experience it first hand and through this class we will try to experience this as best we can. I teach history classes on Outschool in a variety of formats and subjects and am a former Arts and Crafts teacher.Reviews
