Many people know the history of colonies and trade in the Americas from the 1600 to the 1700s. Many people know the history of wars in the 1900s, but what happened in the years in between? Have you wondered what was happening to the people in Asia, Europe, and Russia through these years? How did technology play a role during the 18th and 19th centuries? What were the positive and negative impacts on people and places through this time? Week 1: England v. France-Seven Year War and Industrial Revolution Week 2: Napoleon and the French Empire Week 3: Japan and US Admiral Perry Week 4: Korea and Meiji Japan Week 5: Collapse of the Spanish Empire Week 6: Empires in the 19th Century: Austria-Hungary, Great Britain, Prussia, Russia Week 7: Victorian Age and Science: Second Industrial Revolution & Changes in Attitudes Week 8: A review of the changes (positive and negative) during the time from 1750-1850 I teach using a combination of slides, lectures, and video clips, along with guided note-taking using graphic organizers and analysis of primary and secondary sources to help in sequencing and understanding the causes and effects of this time in history. . I encourage reflection and personal connections with the history that we learn in class. Maps and primary sources are used throughout these lessons to illustrate the geography of the areas/nations that we are discussing. Students will be able to create a timeline of the 17th-18th centuries. I encourage questions and discussions, as they arise during class. Each week's lesson will include review games using Blooklet or Kahoot! to be completed after class. Learners will answer the essential question, How do empires grow and collapse?

Parental Guidance
Weapons were the leading technology that allowed one nation to overpower another and its' people. I will not show graphic images during the classes or on any handouts. The historical fact that many people in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas were killed during conflicts during this time in history will be discussed. No religious group is portrayed as good or bad, but it is impossible to discuss history without mention of the effect that different religious groups had on different people and nations. Discussion is focused on the impacts based on historical documents.
One cannot discuss this time period without talking about the negative impacts on the people of Africa and India. No judgment is being made on the people of today, but we can look back and discuss past government policies and how they impacted different groups of people, both negatively and positively.
I teach classes directly using Canva and YouTube clips. Occasionally I will assign documents or images for analysis using Google Docs or Google Slides. Learners may want to submit responses in the classroom using Google Docs, but this is not required, as they may use the classroom page.
I supply direct links for learners to use the Kahoot! and Blooket review games as a way to review between lessons. These games do not require learners to enter any personal information. The links are provided via the classroom page each week. They are only sent to the enrolled learners in the current section and expire after the unit ends.
Supply List
Teacher prepared guided notes or notepaper of their own, pencil and/or pen.
