Dive into the fascinating world of U.S. citizenship! In this engaging, once-a-week class, we'll explore the key moments that shaped the United States, from the American Revolution to the formation of the Constitution. We’ll delve into the three branches of government, the political party system, and how laws and the legal system work. This course is perfect for anyone interested in understanding the foundations of American citizenship and how it functions today.

What to Expect: Each week, you’ll complete homework assignments designed to prepare you for class discussions and activities. During our live sessions, I’ll kick off with a brief lecture to highlight the most important concepts from that week's material. Then, we’ll open up the floor for thought-provoking discussions, or you’ll participate in interactive activities that bring the lessons to life. Have questions about the homework? No problem! There will always be time to review and clarify any uncertainties.

Teaching Style: I’m passionate about making learning fun and accessible for everyone. My energy and enthusiasm for these topics will keep the class lively, and I’m committed to showing multiple perspectives on each issue. I pride myself on being unbiased, ensuring that everyone in the class feels seen, heard, and respected.

Interactive Learning: You’ll have plenty of opportunities to interact with me and your fellow classmates. Class time will be a mix of dynamic lectures, group discussions, hands-on activities, and even games to test your knowledge in a fun way. Whether through video clips, slides, or lively debates, this course is designed to keep you engaged and thinking critically about what it means to be a U.S. citizen.

Join us for an exciting journey into the heart of America’s political and legal systems, and discover what makes U.S. citizenship such a vital and evolving part of our world!
