Let’s join Aunt Sam for a Look at US History through stories of Individuals. This class follows my History Class: US Revolution to Civil War. Who are these historical people and events? What are facts? What is fiction? In this multi-day class, we’ll take a look at the many contributions to history these individuals and events have made. In this class, we will discuss the role that certain sources have played in the stories of these individuals and events. We will use documents/resources from multi-based perspectives to evaluate the stories. My goal for this class is for students to gain an honest view of historical events and figures. This is an upper elementary course. In class, we will map individuals' homes, their journeys, create a timeline and discuss how their lives have affected our lives for good and bad. (Students who are not comfortable sharing/participating are always welcome to simply participate at the level they are most comfortable). Every lesson will include: • Worksheets (which students can fill out during class) • Slide presentations • Discussion questions • Challenges (to enable the learner to apply what was learned from class, these Challenges may also be used in break-out rooms, if time allows) My goal is to inspire curiosity, interest, and application of what we learn from the events and lives of these historical figures. In the last class: • Kahoot quiz • Presentations, where those interested students present a Historical figure of their choice (optional) Diplomas Class Schedule and basic topics covered: Week One: Adventure! What is the Yukon Gold Rush? • Where is the Yukon? Why was the Yukon Gold Rush an Adventure? • How did the Yukon Gold Rush affect the Pacific Northwest? • Who was Sam McGee?

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Licenciatura en Música o Teatro o Artes desde Brigham Young University
History is fascinating to me! I love researching how people lived and how their lives have affected our lives. I have traveled across the US and around the world, enabling me to interact with many people and cultures firsthand. I have learned about how they live and, in many cases, lived with them. I have studied and lived in different parts of the US, Israel, Egypt, England and Paraguay. I have a broad firsthand experience of different cultures and their effect on the world.
I have taught these historical topics to my own children in our homeschool and in a variety of formats including public school, homeschool co-ops and community classes.
