Historia de los Estados Unidos Parte 2 I AP I Año completo A tu propio ritmo

Deepen your knowledge and understanding of US history on a journey through time. You will learn about the major events, people, and ideas that have shaped US history, and you will gain a deeper understanding of the forces that continue to shape our world today.  Explore primary documents and engage in historical study as a historian. 

This is a self-paced version of my popular live United States History Part 2 course.  Students may join even if they did not complete part 1. Optionally, this class can coordinate with the class I also offer on American Literature (which is also available as a flex class).  This class is taught at a standard level, however, I am able to offer additional work as well as AP designation on your transcript if you would like your student to take this class at an AP level, as I have AP authorization--please contact me about this option.

This course is a rhetorical level course intended to introduce the student to the major themes and moments in US history.  This course will involve both writing and reading.  We will be reading a full-range of primary documents from each time period and geographical area we study.  You will be learning how to read, think about, analyze, argue with, and present ideas about history and to connect events to the larger trends and themes in world history.

As a self-paced version of my US History 2 course, this course will offer no live class meetings.  Instead, your student will have access to 1-2 class recordings weekly to watch, as well as additional written and visual documents to augment the recording.  The student will also have various quizzes and interactive assignments to check their understanding of the video content, creating a workshop feel during the 15 weeks.  Also each week, students will have an opportunity to complete their own longer writing assignments related to the class content and to receive individualized teacher feedback.  

What to expect from this course:
-Strengthening your skills of primary text analysis
-Improve critical thinking skills through oral and written discussion
-Develop an understanding of the major moments and themes of US history
-Explore political, economic, social, and military changes that shaped the modern world
