Embark on a captivating journey through America's rich tapestry of history, from the mysteries of prehistoric civilizations to the tumultuous era of Reconstruction. Explore the vibrant cultures of Native American tribes, the epic struggles of European exploration and colonization, the forging of a new nation through revolution, and the enduring legacy of slavery and its abolition. Witness the courage of visionaries like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln as they shape the destiny of a young nation. Engage with the triumphs and challenges that define the American experience, illuminating the path from past to present. This course provides an in-depth exploration of the history of the United States from prehistoric times through the Reconstruction Era. Students will examine key events, individuals, and movements that have shaped the nation's development, focusing on the social, political, economic, and cultural aspects of American history. Through a variety of primary and secondary sources, discussions, activities, and projects, students will develop critical thinking skills and gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of U.S. history. Course Objectives: * Develop an understanding of the major themes and concepts in United States history. * Analyze primary and secondary sources to interpret historical events and perspectives. * Examine the causes and consequences of key events and movements in U.S. history. * Evaluate the impact of historical events on different groups within American society. * Develop skills in historical inquiry, research, and writing. * We work together through conversations, slides, games, video clips and activities to use our critical thinking skills to unravel and discover how the United States was born, developed, and grew throughout its lifetime. * Each week, students will be given handouts and graphic organizers to guide their note taking as well as activities that promote creative and analytical thought processes. * Please note that there are some sensitive topics that will be addressed throughout the course including but not limited to: genocide, slavery, and sectional violence. * We will use "Everything You Need to Ace U.S. History In One Big Fat Notebook 2ND EDITION " by Workman Publishing and Philip Bigler as our class reference for this class.

Orientación para padres
History is often ugly, and we do discuss topics that are extremely sensitive such as genocide, slavery, war, and sectional conflict. Please be advised that some content might be disturbing for some learners (i.e. The Holocaust and American Slavery).

For the past decade, I have been encouraging students through education and personal development to explore the challenges of the past. Through my own personal education and professional development, I create a safe environment for students to learn about challenging topics of the past. My undergraduate is in history, focusing on United States and European integration, past cultures, and empire. My first master's degree is in education with a focus on English/Language Arts and History. My second master's degree is in history with a focus on world empires and United States/Europe during the premodern era and modern era. I am currently pursuing my PhD in history focusing on immigration and relations with indigenous peoples and cultures.
I have taught Ancient Civilizations in World History classes as well as classes on the history of Africa, Asia, and Australia, Ancient and Medieval Europe, and Early American history. I have taken and taught classes on world religions and practices starting with the ancient traditions of prehistoric cultures through modern day transitions of religions such as druidism. I have also taught about episodes of religious hysteria such as the Inquisition and the Salem Witch Trials. I also teach classes on the myths and legends that have defined these cultures. This extensive background will be utilized to create a well-rounded and thorough explanation of the topic.
