Class Experience
You will learn an entire semester of World History.  This course is the second part of a full-year course, although you can still enroll even if you didn't take part one! 

Each lesson will consist of instructional videos/lecture so that you may learn about history when it is convenient for you. You will be responsible for homework designed to enrich your learning through a series of videos, documents, and other learning activities. 

The course outline with topics to be covered is below.  In the videos, the instructor will utilize presentations that are guided by a daily focus, discussion questions/prompts that encourage higher-level thinking and discussion with the teacher via the Outschool class platform.

Additionally, there will be video clips, review games, and tests/quizzes implemented during the class meeting to optimize enrichment and feedback.  

We will begin with the Industrial Revolution end the course with more recent history, including 9/11 and the War on Terror, as well as the genocides of the 20th Century. Students will learn the major players, the events, all the while incorporating historical thinking skills. These include understanding cause and effect, placing events into the proper chronology, identifying change and continuity over time, and seeing the contextualization (the big picture). 

The majority of classes will either consist of presentations with discussion and note-taking or the use of historical documents as evidence to learn about events and decisions that were made in history. 

Students will be challenged to back up all claims with concrete factual and historical evidence.

Parental Guidance
There are sensitive topics covered in World History, including the topics of slavery and genocide. Rest assured that my extensive experience teaching World History enables me to approach these topics in a mature, historical, and sensitive way. If need be, I will follow up with students and parents if there is something that is of a concerning nature.
Supply List
Students need either a physical notebook for notetaking and reflection or an organized notetaking method on their computers. I will be happy to offer suggestions,
