This comprehensive  SELF-PACED/ASYNCHRONOUS United States history class will expose learners to various significant events and people from World War II through the Modern Day (approximate 1940's to present day).  

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

Each week focuses on different significant events and/or people. At the beginning of each week a video describing the event and significant people 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 games surrounding each civilization.   Both students and teacher will interact virtually, providing encouraging, constructive feedback on shared posted work.  Most materials can be used digitally***, some may need to be printed traditionally.  

After completing activities and assignments, learners will receive regular feedback from me before moving on to the next topic.  Learners are not expected to share their completed activities and projects with the class but are able to do so.    Also each week, learners will have an opportunity to receive individualized teacher feedback.  I will be available for office hours and meetings throughout the course by appointment according to your time zone.   

This US 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. Learners are provided with opportunities to engage in deep discussion about what they learn and complete activities and creative projects, all while growing their abilities to think and communicate critically and effectively.

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:

(FLEX) US History: Gilded Age to the Depression 
(FLEX) US History: WW2, Cold War & Globalization

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.
