Clase de manualidades con muñecas de personajes históricos de American Girl - Parte 3 - FLEX

In this 4-week **FLEX** class, students will learn about the events, topics, and characters mentioned in the American Girl historical book series. As a **FLEX** class, we will NOT meet live. This is a course with an asynchronous learning format, meaning that I will posted pre-recorded videos, engaging questions for students to answer, and directions for projects and activities for students to complete to engage students in learning about the topic. Although we will not be meeting live and students can work on their own time, students should still follow the schedule listed below as to stay involved with the questions and activities. The goal is for students to have fun learning about the topic for each week and to inspire students to read the book series for the character that we are studying while working at their own pace.

In this particular **FLEX** course, we will be studying topics and events mentioned in the historical book series of Kit (1934), Nanea (1941), Molly (1944), and Maryellen (1954). Each week, we will focus on a different historical girl, learn a little about her time period via a short video lesson, and do a fun activity/project to explore our creative side. This course is specifically designed for students that love reading and learning history, but also enjoy doing crafts, baking, and creating things. Students will have the opportunity to post on the Outschool class feed and interact with other students that are in the class. Students may interact by either posting a video of themselves showing their projects and answering questions, uploading a document, or commenting on posts. Instructions will be posted at the beginning of class and reiterated each week. 

As a formal history teacher, I am SUPER passionate about the historical American Girls.  I had a few of the historical dolls as a child and fell in love with history because of American Girl.
