History Herald:  ONGOING World History for  Middle & High Schoolers!!

This is a weekly history class with Teacher Courtney that adventures through the history of the world and brings the past to life! Each week, students will be introduced and guided through the history of a particular event or movement in world history. 

There are 35 weeks in total, starting with Ancient Civilizations and ending with the Modern Global World.  These weeks are independent of each other so students can jump in and learn about different topics that interest them or they could take all 35 weeks and have a solid foundation in world history for the school year! If you have a history lover or need history for the school year, this is for you! It covers all the main topics of a full world history curriculum. 

I am a certified history teacher so I follow the basic guidelines of most states for this course.  This course is a lecture/presentation style course with ample time for student interaction and questions. Additional (optional) activities and resources will be given before each class for families to solidify information on each topic.

*Note* This class will start over from the beginning when the last topic has been covered, repeating the cycle.*


This is a beginners level class, so no prior information is needed. Each week will cover the basic foundation for each topic so the student will leave with a solid handle on that particular event or topic. I will send a handout for each week to help the students take notes (optional). I will also follow up with additional resources or activities that the student can do after class.
