This is part four 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. This US History II class is meant to be versatile in that it can be taken after US History I for students...

- 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 American history including the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, the AIDS Crisis, the changing politics of the 80s, 90s, and 00s, the War on Terror and more.
My Masters degree is in American Studies and I spent a great deal of my graduate studies focusing on the Civil War, Westward Expansion, and the Industrial Revolution. I have been teaching this course in person to homeschoolers for a year and have been teaching History on Outschool for almost as long. I am constantly reading new works from prominent historians and I attend professional development courses each summer through The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, which helps me keep up to date on historical scholarship.

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.
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.
I use almost entirely primary sources as the curriculum for my History courses. Students will be reading primary sources during class and working to analyze those primary sources.
