Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 9
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?

Learning Goals

Week 1:  England v. France- name the conflicts between England and France. List changes that these conflicts brought to the world. Who benefitted, who lost?  How did the Industrial Revolution change England?

Week 2: Korea and Meiji Japan: Explain Meiji Japan. How does a nation rise to power? Explain why one nation conquers a neighboring nation.  What changes does this bring?

Week 3: Napoleon, Nationalism,  and Empire-Timeline of Napoleon's reign. Lasting impacts (negative and positive) of Napoleon.

Week 4: Collapse of the Spanish Empire-Explain how a leader in trade and exploration lost their power.   What were the effects of this change?

Week 5: Empires in the 19th Century- Who was creating empires and who was losing empires? Why does this happen and what lasting changes do we see?

Week 6: Japan and Perry- How and why does Japan move from an isolationist policy to an Open-Trade policy?  What happens in Japan because of this change? What happens in the world because of this change?

Week 7: Victorian Age and Science- When was the Victorian Age?   What was so special about this time period?     When was the Victorian Age?    What were the impacts of this time period in history?

Week 8: Review the timeline of  1750-1850- discuss positive and negatives, as well as lasting impacts that we can make connections to currently.

Other Details

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.
