Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
This flexible schedule class will explore World War One from a global view in a kid-friendly way.

As a flex class, we will not meet live!  Each week will be a flexible schedule.

We will study the following topics over the course of 4 weeks:

Week 1:  What Caused World War One?		
Week 2:  The World at War: 1914-1918				
Week 3:  Major Battles of World War One				
Week 4:  Effects of World War One on the World					



Students will demonstrate their learning through participation in the weekly classroom activities (no live meetings).

*This is a flexible schedule class. Each lesson will be delivered via a prerecorded video that will be uploaded into the classroom every week. Each week, students will be assigned an activity to complete related to the prerecorded video. Each student will be required to comment on peer activity postings at least once each week, as directed by the activity, throughout the course in order to to develop a sense of community in the class. The instructor will be available to help and will provide individual feedback throughout the course.			

By the end of the 4 weeks, students will:
 
Demonstrate and strengthen abilities to present historical information.
Strengthen note-taking skills.
Compare/contrast/synthesize and analyze information.
Exercise critical thinking and communication skills in formal and informal discussions.
