1 hora por semana. At the end of each class, students will receive an optional homework assignment that will encourage them to reflect on what they learned, often through the examination of primary sources and images from class. The goal of these assignments is to check for understanding, as well as give students a chance to stretch their critical thinking skills. Instructor feedback will be provided to students who submit their assignments within one week of submission.Calificación

In this course, we will discuss five different military disasters that led to defeat in their respective wars. During each class we will focus on a particular aspect of warfare that made the difference between victory and defeat. In so doing, we will try to answer questions like what went wrong, could it have been avoided, and did anyone see it coming? We’ll use a combination of primary and secondary source material like letters, maps, and age-appropriate video to answer these questions, in tandem with questioning for students.
Although the content of this course will include the discussion of warfare, we will be focused on the academic understanding of the conflict. We won’t be showing any graphic images, descriptions, or depictions of violence, or focusing on the morality of these conflicts in general. Naturally, parents should use their judgement and understanding of their individual learner to decide if the course is right for them! Students do not need to be experts in military history to take and enjoy this class, and regardless of whether students are new to the field or budding experts they will have the opportunity to learn and think critically!Metas de aprendizaje
Students will understand how logistics, terrain, and operational planning affects the ability of armies to fight effectively.Students will understand how political decision-making effects the way wars are fought and perceived by societies that fight them.

While the structure of the course is academic in nature and the instructor avoids graphic depictions of violence, there will be times that the course involves the discussion of military behaviors in a historical context.

For the last fifteen years, I have taught in a brick-and-mortar high school including AP World History, AP European History, AP Art History, and AP English Language so I have many years of experience teaching this material to a diverse array of students.
I have also been teaching military technology on Outschool for the last four years, and am thrilled to be on this platform to share my passion for the humanities with new students at a variety of age and experience levels.Reseñas
