Some of the most fascinating stories of all time come from actual events that are beyond what the imagination could concoct. The stories of the people and events that make up the past have incredible and often untold stories. It is my goal to teach students in this class the details that are often overlooked starting from the Revolutionary war and continuing to The Cold War. Each lesson will stand alone and students may join the class at any point. Every lesson will include a worksheet which students can fill out during class. The format for instruction will include a time for active note taking with slides and images, discussion, and a fun trivia game at the end of each class. It is my goal to inspire curiosity and interest in each student. I aim for students to leave class each week excited to tell others what they have learned and motivated to learn more. Objectivity is my highest priority when teaching history. Each lesson will provide information from multiple perspectives. This class is not intended to be an opinion course, and will focus only on facts. Discussion among students on each week’s topic is encouraged but never required. Lesson order is as follows:
