La historia del día de San Valentín

Valentine's Day conjures up images of chocolates, flowers, cards, and love. Did you know that the origins of Valentine's Day actually go back to the time of the Romans? How did the holiday actually start? Who was St. Valentines? How did his name get associated with it? Why did Shakespeare write about it and how did that help spread it throughout Britain and the rest of Europe? And how did we go from the Romans to sending formal messages, chocolates, and flowers? Where is it celebrated and how? And really, how much chocolate is actually sold for the holiday? All of this and more! So come and join us as we walk through history. 

This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities (recipes, movies, dioramas, experiments, etc.). Please see the syllabus below for a layout of the lessons included in this course.
