Historia de los Estados Unidos (año completo) - Parte 3 de 4

This is part three 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 as a credit on a high school transcript depending on your state's homeschool requirements.

**Want to try a one-time class before committing to this 8-week class? I offer two trial classes that are structured exactly like my year long US and World History classes, so that students can see if they enjoy my teaching style before signing up. These are located at the following links: https://outschool.com/classes/battle-of-little-bighorn-trial-class-for-united-states-2UAshzBt#us1N2EG6kM  and  https://outschool.com/classes/analyzing-civil-war-photographs-trial-class-for-united-states-Evrv5D1d#us1N2EG6kM 

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 three covers US History beginning with the turn of the 20th century, through both World War I and World War II and into the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement. If you have not taken parts one and two of this course, it is suggested (but not required) that you take parts one and two first. This class builds on what students have learned in the first two parts. I have included a full breakdown of topics studied each week in the syllabus, along with probable assignments, but assignments are subject to change depending on time/pace once we start the class.

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. Since I only have an hour a week with them, it is impossible to fit everything in and reading about the era before we study it in class will help them tremendously! 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. These materials will be used in the classroom and as homework. In-class materials will be completed in class, often in groups, while students will be responsible for completing the homework on their own time. There are a few instances where students will be assigned homework that must be done before the next class, but most of the time we will only have homework if we do not complete everything during class time.
