How will you teach? I will teach using a mix of interactive lessons, multimedia resources, and hands-on activities. Students will engage with Blood on the River as a historical fiction text and analyze primary sources to deepen their understanding. Creative assignments such as writing journal entries and designing colonial maps will help reinforce key concepts. What's your teaching style? My teaching style is interactive and student-centered. I focus on making history engaging through storytelling, group discussions, and creative activities that help students connect with historical events on a personal level. My lessons are designed to encourage critical thinking and active participation. How much will learners get to interact with you? Learners will interact with me during our weekly online classes and through discussion forums. I will provide feedback on assignments and be available to answer questions or provide support throughout the course. My goal is to foster a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable engaging and sharing their ideas.
