Class Experience

Dive into the critical period of the late 1930s in this captivating 3-day camp! Through an interactive simulation, learners will delve into Hitler's strategic maneuvers that paved the way to World War II, assuming the role of prediction-makers during this tense prelude to global conflict.

During the camp, learners will explore pivotal moments from Hitler’s initial foreign policy actions in 1934 through the invasion of Poland in 1939. They'll examine events such as the reoccupation of the Rhineland, the Anschluss with Austria, and the dramatic Sudeten Crisis. Each scenario is crafted to challenge participants to predict Hitler's decisions and gauge the responses from other European powers.

The class is structured around a comprehensive interactive simulation where learners experience the complexity of international diplomacy and strategic planning. They will make critical predictions to explore these events in history, learning about the real-world reactions and the consequences of those actions.

Each day will conclude with a reflective session where learners can discuss their predictions versus the historical outcomes, providing insights into the historical accuracy and the moral complexities of the era. To wrap up the camp, we'll conduct an exciting Kahoot quiz to reinforce key concepts and test their knowledge in a fun and competitive environment!

This hands-on approach not only deepens understanding of the period's history but also enhances critical thinking and leadership skills, making it a perfect blend of education and interactive fun.

*************************************************************************************************
-In this class, active participation plays a crucial role in fostering meaningful engagement and learning. Learners are strongly encouraged to actively contribute to discussions, share their perspectives, and ask questions. Additionally, to promote critical thinking and facilitate in-class interactions, it's important to use the chat feature sparingly. While the chat is suitable for quick questions or clarifications, lengthy answers or discussions are best reserved for our face-to-face interactions.

-It is crucial for learners to be punctual and arrive on time for this class. While late arrivals will be allowed to join and participate from the moment they arrive, it is important to note that due to time constraints, we will not be able to restart simulations or catch up on activities for latecomers. To ensure the smooth progression of the class and maximize the learning experience for all participants, punctuality is strongly encouraged.

Parental Guidance
The study of world history encompasses a wide range of topics, including some sensitive subjects from the past such as war, slavery, racism, religion, and genocide. In this course, it is important to approach these topics with sensitivity and respect. Religion will be discussed solely in its historical context, focusing on its influence on societies and events throughout history. The aim is to provide learners with an understanding of how religion shaped various civilizations without promoting any particular religious beliefs. To foster a comprehensive understanding, learners will be exposed to multiple perspectives through the use of peer-reviewed and scholarly sources. Critical and reflective thinking will be encouraged, allowing students to analyze historical events, conflicts, security issues, religious influences, and economic factors from different angles. Discussions in the classroom will be closely moderated, ensuring a balanced and unbiased approach. The teacher will facilitate discussions, encourage participation, and monitor the conversations to maintain a secular standpoint that respects all viewpoints. When relevant, viewpoints from marginalized groups will be explored, providing a broader understanding of history from different social, cultural, and ethnic perspectives. This approach promotes inclusivity and helps learners develop empathy and a deeper appreciation for diverse experiences. Great care will be taken to present the content in an age-appropriate manner, ensuring that the material is accessible, respectful, and suitable for the maturity level of the learners.
