La curiosidad narra la historia moderna (parte 1)

This is the first in a series of year-long History classes, specifically covering the first half of Modern History. This class uses the Curiosity Chronicles curriculum to teach Modern History for 5th to 10th graders. Curiosity Chronicles teaches history via conversation between two main characters - Mona and Ted - allowing for the study of history to feel more fun than academic, with input on cultural impacts from friends Arthur and Lily! The student textbook and activity guide will be provided for at home use. I teach in a Socratic style, preferring to ask students for their thoughts instead of imparting my own. As a result, classes tend to be discussion-based. Each week, we will read a chapter of the student text and complete the student activity pages. The first meeting each week will focus on the textbook work, and we will work on a timeline, complete map work, and learn about each "culture corner" in the second meeting. 

This class is intended as an elementary history class, so while additional resources are listed in the textbook, we will cover them only as time permits. Students will need access to their textbook and each chapter's activity guide materials while in class - these will be available on-screen, but some children may prefer to have their own copies.
