1-2 horas por semana. Each week, students will have work to do that would have been considered "in class" work if this were a live class. Instead, this could all be considered homework and students should expect there to be work to do each week. All work will be given in pdf form so that students can print the worksheets or they can upload the pdf to kamiapp.com and type directly onto the pdf. Students are strongly encouraged to read A Young People's History of the United States throughout the class. If they are participating in the reading, all reading will be done as homework.Evaluación

This is part two of a four part series covering United States History. If all four parts are taken, this is a full year of US History. There are in class and/or homework assignments each week. If a student completes all in class assignments, reading, and homework, this four part class could be used a credit on a high school transcript depending on your state's homeschool requirements. All of my classes, especially my US History classes, are inclusive and anti-racist. We will be covering tough subjects and tackling tough topics from the point of view of the people involved, particularly the marginalized groups involved. Part two covers US History beginning with the Trail of Tears, through Westward Expansion and the Civil War, and into the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution. If you have not taken part one of this course, it is suggested (but not required) that you take part one first. This class builds on what students have learned in the first part. I have included a full breakdown of topics studied each week in the course syllabus, along with probable assignments, but assignments are subject to change depending on time/pace once we start the class. This is a self-paced class, which means that there will be no live meetings. Instead, each week I will post a lecture video for students to watch, as well as links to additional resources, additional videos explaining assignments where necessary, and discussion questions for students to answer. I will provide a lecture video each week on the topic we are studying before students work on their assignments. It is not required, but it is strongly suggested that the student do some reading of their own on each topic prior to attending class. I have modeled this class after the chapters in the book "A Young People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn. For each week, I will let students know which chapter from this book they can read to keep pace with the class. If you have another US History book already on hand, you are more than welcome to use that, however I will not be able to suggest chapters or reading passages for other books. Each week, materials will be posted inside the classroom for students to print or upload to the Kami App to be able to use them online without printing. Students will be responsible for completing and turning in all work by the due dates. It is imperative that students complete and post their work prior to the due date so that the other students can respond, comment, or collaborate with each other. All assignments need to be scanned in and uploaded to the classroom.
Metas de aprendizaje
When students complete this class, they should be able to look at any historic document and "source" it. They will be able to determine who the author is, what the author's authority is, when the source was written and if that date impacts the source's reliability.
They will also know how to take two accounts of the same story and pull corroborating facts out.
They will know how to determine which sources are reliable and which are not.
They will know what primary and secondary sources are.
They will know how to determine which sources should be used for a research paper and which should not.
They will learn key events and concepts in early America including the Civil War, Indian Removal Act, Manifest Destiny, Westward Expansion, Reconstruction, Jim Crow laws, the Industrial Revolution, and more.

Orientación para padres
As with any US History course, we will be covering topics like death, war, racism, slavery, and sexism. I will not shy away from these topics, but will help the students understand that though racism, slavery, sexism, etc. are part of the fabric of American History, they are not acceptable by our standards today.
Lista de útiles escolares
Students will be given pdfs each week that contain the in-class work and homework. These pdfs need to be printed or if the student prefers to type answers, pdfs can be uploaded to the Kami App website and students can type directly onto the pdfs. Students are strongly encouraged to use A Young People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn, though another US History book that covers all of these topics can be substituted.
Recursos externos
Los estudiantes no necesitarán utilizar ninguna aplicación o sitio web más allá de las herramientas estándar de Outschool.
