Tarea
2-4 horas por semana. As learners are exploring the various key events in the early modern world, homework will be assigned that is specific to the topic that was covered in class. Learners can generally expect to spend about an hour or two a week on homework (in addition to watching the videos and completing optional activities), some assignments will require less of the learner. Some learners may be eager to spend more than that on their Medieval Moments Project but it is not required or expected. All assignments and activities are focused on supplementing the learner's understanding of the various events and are broken down into specific, manageable tasks. It's important to note that students have varying speeds and styles of learning, and this may reflect in the time taken to complete tasks.
Evaluación
Upon request and prior to the start of the course, assessments can be conducted throughout the course to evaluate learner progress and understanding. These assessments may include quizzes, tests, projects, feedback and/or other forms of evaluation (i.e. letter grade). Parents and learners are encouraged to discuss their grading preferences with the teacher. The purpose of assessments and grades is to provide feedback on student learning and measure their achievement. It is important for learners to actively participate in assessments and seek feedback to gauge their progress and areas of improvement. Furthermore, a detailed rubric will be provided specifically for the project. This rubric will serve as a guideline to assess and evaluate the quality and creativity of the learners' project. It will outline the criteria and expectations, ensuring transparency and fairness in the assessment process. Learners will have a clear understanding of the criteria by which their projects will be evaluated, allowing them to strive for excellence in their projects.

In this comprehensive SELF-PACED/ASYNCHRONOUS medieval world history course (approx. 476 CE - 1500 CE), learners will navigate the intricacies of European feudalism, marvel at the Islamic Golden Age's intellectual accomplishments, study the disciplined society of Japanese samurai, and examine the pivotal changes brought by Chinese dynasties. Additionally, the curriculum will explore the vast influence of the Mongol Empire and delve into the Vikings' remarkable explorations and societal structures.

Learners will trace Europe's transition from feudal splintering to the emergence of nation-states, unraveling the decisive religious and political shifts that defined modern boundaries. Key historical moments like the Reconquista, the Hundred Years' War, and the War of the Roses will be examined for their lasting effects on culture and identity.

The curriculum delves into the Golden Age of Islam, showcasing the era's unprecedented cultural, scientific, and economic advances achieved by caliphates and dynasties such as the Abbasids, Umayyads, Fatimids, Almoravids, and Almohads. This exploration includes the era's intellectual and artistic output, which heavily influenced global development and laid the foundations for the Renaissance.

The transformative Crusades and the Black Plague's devastating effects will be investigated, as will the sophisticated societies of Mesoamerica and the powerful West African empires, highlighting the breadth of human ingenuity and resilience.

Through this course, learners will develop a deep appreciation for the monumental shifts that shaped the medieval era and the enduring legacy of civilizations that still echo in the contemporary world. 

THERE ARE NO LIVE MEETINGS, but learners will receive direct feedback on their work each week.  

Each week focuses on a different medieval event, civilization or empire. At the beginning of each week an introductory video will be posted to the classroom along with supplemental written and visual handouts.  Interactive activities for learners to complete and post to the classroom will be posted each week as well.  These activities will be specific to the week's topic, but will include challenges and activities surrounding each period.   Both learners and teacher will interact virtually, providing encouraging, constructive feedback on shared posted work. 

After completing activities and assignments, learners will receive regular feedback from me before moving on to the next topic.  I will be available for office hours and meetings throughout the course by appointment according to your time zone.   

This medieval world history class is a great companion to your homeschooling experience or utilized as a full homeschool curriculum for late middle school or early high school.  Overall, the course would provide a comprehensive view of Medieval World History from approximately 476 CE, traditionally marked by the fall of the Western Roman Empire, to the end of the 15th century, which is often considered the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. 

**Medieval Moments Project
To demonstrate their grasp of the Medieval tapestry that includes Europe, Japan, and China, the expansive domains of the Mongol Empire, the intellectual zenith of the Golden Age of Islam, the intricate civilizations of Mesoamerica, and the majestic empires of West Africa, learners will engage in a creative project. They will craft an expressive short story, graphic novel, comic strip, or a series of memes that bring to life the distinctive features, daily experiences, and rich heritage of their chosen culture or empire.

*As an alternative to the Medieval Moments Project and for those who prefer a hands-on approach, the PEEPS Diorama Project presents an engaging alternative to the Medieval Moments Project. In this imaginative assignment, learners will craft a miniature, three-dimensional representation of a significant event from Medieval World History using PEEPS candies. After choosing an event that resonates with their interests, learners will draw upon classroom resources and with adult permission - additional internet resources, to brainstorm and plan their dioramas. I will offer support throughout this process, providing feedback and helping to polish their concepts. With teacher and/or adult approval secured for their project topic, learners will then move forward to create their PEEPS diorama, encapsulating the historical moment they have selected.  This project offers a unique opportunity for learners to engage with history in a creative and hands-on manner, and I look forward to witnessing their imaginative interpretations come to life.

Please note: The specific requirements and guidelines for both projects will be provided in class.

While my courses can be taken in any order based on individual preferences and needs, I would highly recommend taking them in chronological order. This sequencing allows for a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and enhances the learning experience. Therefore, I suggest following this chronological order for optimal learning:

(Self-Paced) Homeschool Ancient World History
(Self-Paced) Homeschool Classical Era: Greece, Rome & Beyond
(Self-Paced) Homeschool Medieval World History
(Self-Paced) Homeschool Early Modern World History
(Self-Paced) Homeschool Modern World History
(Self-Paced) Homeschool Cold War Era & Beyond 

By following this chronological order, learners can gradually build upon their knowledge and develop a well-rounded understanding of the subject matter. They can trace the evolution of ideas, events, and societies over time, which fosters a more coherent and interconnected understanding of the subject.

However, I understand that individual circumstances and preferences may influence the order in which courses are taken. Ultimately, it is important to choose the sequencing that aligns best with your learning goals and interests.

Orientación para padres
The study of world history encompasses a wide range of topics, including some sensitive subjects from the past such as war, slavery, racism, religion, and genocide. In this course, it is important to approach these topics with sensitivity and respect. Religion will be discussed solely in its historical context, focusing on its influence on societies and events throughout history. The aim is to provide learners with an understanding of how religion shaped various civilizations without promoting any particular religious beliefs. To foster a comprehensive understanding, learners will be exposed to multiple perspectives through the use of peer-reviewed and scholarly sources. Critical and reflective thinking will be encouraged, allowing students to analyze historical events, conflicts, security issues, religious influences, and economic factors from different angles. Discussions in the classroom will be closely moderated, ensuring a balanced and unbiased approach. The teacher will facilitate discussions, encourage participation, and monitor the conversations to maintain a secular standpoint that respects all viewpoints. When relevant, viewpoints from marginalized groups will be explored, providing a broader understanding of history from different social, cultural, and ethnic perspectives. This approach promotes inclusivity and helps learners develop empathy and a deeper appreciation for diverse experiences. Great care will be taken to present the content in an age-appropriate manner, ensuring that the material is accessible, respectful, and suitable for the maturity level of the learners.
