1-2 horas por semana. ⭐The full curriculum class spans the entire school year from September-May. It is split into three sections, which each have two units. ⭐This class is section one which covers units 1 & 2 (see above for class schedule). Each unit includes one project and six optional enrichment activities (2 projects and 12 enrichment activities total). I provide feedback for students on all projects and enrichment activities. Each class I provide a note template that students will fill out as we move through the lesson. Information from the notes will be included in the unit final that students will take at the end of each unit to assess their learning. I also provide a coloring page each class that students can print and color during class. Each unit has one reading assignment that I ask students to complete prior to class to facilitate a class discussion.Evaluación

Orientación para padres
Some sensitive topics that will be covered include:
UNIT 1: Disease (in the Americas and in Europe), genocide of Native American Tribes, Christopher Columbus.
UNIT 2: Land theft, colonization, genocide, the Atlantic Slave Trade, the Salem Witch Trials, violent events that led to the American Revolution, and the battles of the American Revolution.
Some of the sources that we study contain inaccurate content (for example: A Young People's History of the United States uses the term "Indians" instead of Indigenous Peoples). I will always point out these inaccuracies in class as part of our discussions. If you have concerns about a specific source, please contact me.
Lista de útiles escolares
Students will need to purchase the book ‘A Young People’s History of the United States’ by Howard Zinn (approximately $15). 'An Outline of US History' can be found online for free at https://archive.org/details/OutlineOfUSHistory/page/n65/mode/2up

Over the course of the year, this class will cover several sensitive topics including: the genocide of Indigenous Nations including the Aztec, Inca, Maya, and North American tribes from the Northeast Woodland, Southeast, Southwest, Plateau, California, and Northwest Coast regions by European explorers, the immoral Atlantic Slave Trade and conditions that enslaved people experienced, violent events that led to the American Revolution, and the battles of the American Revolution. This unit specifically will cover the genocide of Indigenous Nations.
I am an experienced Social Studies teacher in both Utah and North Carolina. In my training and experience teaching in the classroom I have found that the best way to approach these sensitive topics is to address them explicitly and have an open conversation with my students. We discuss the mindset of historical societies, the moral implications of their actions, how it affects us to today, and why it can be difficult to talk about these subjects at times.
I make it clear to my students that they are always welcome to meet with me individually if they are bothered by any of these discussions. I also ask them, and the parents to contact me if they are concerned with my class content or delivery. These topics can be difficult to navigate and I am always trying to improve!
