What's included
4 live meetings
3 hrs 20 mins in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Homework is always optional. I believe learners would benefit from implementing the information they learn in class, however, I also understand that each learner is unique. Learners will analyze primary source documents and answer comprehension questions based on a primary source. These activities should not take more than one hour to completeAssessment
Learners will be assessed informally in each class through verbal comprehension checks and class discussion. Each class will begin with a quick review of the activities from the previous week's class to ensure students understood the material. At the end of each unit, students will complete a Kahoot which will act as an informal summative assessment of the unit.Class Experience
US Grade 6 - 9
Join me as we examine the origins of the industrial revolution and learn about the tremendous impact it had on our world. This class will cover both the first and second industrial revolutions, the major inventions of the period, the first factories, and the debate on the economic systems. This course will be taught using visual aids via PowerPoint in a lecture-based format. Students will be expected to ask questions and discuss the material we are covering as a group. During the 50-minute class periods, students should expect to answer questions to check their understanding and participate in class discussions. The last week of the course will be the unit test which will be in the form of an interactive game of Kahoot. This is an introductory class, so students do not need to have any background knowledge coming into class! Week 1: Origins of the Industrial Revolution (where it began, required natural resources, societal changes, and the textile industry) Week 2: The Rise of Factories (the first factories and the importance of the steam engine) Week 3: New Economic Theories ( life in the factories, capitalism v.s communism) Week 4: Kahoot Assessment
