This is part four of a four part series covering early World History. If all four parts are taken it will cover both Ancient World History and the Middle Ages and would be a full year of World History. There are in class and/or homework assignments each week, plus students will be encouraged to study the topics outside of class either through reading a history text of their choosing or watching Crash Course videos. If a student completes all in class assignments, homework, and studying outside the classroom, this four part class could be used a credit on a high school transcript depending on your state's homeschool requirements.

*Note: this class series only covers World History through roughly 1500 CE. If you are looking for Modern World History, I have a full year of World History II available in my profile.*

All of my classes, are inclusive and anti-racist. We will be covering tough subjects and tackling tough topics from the point of view of the people involved, particularly the marginalized groups involved.

Part Four covers World History beginning with the Inca and Aztec Empire before covering exploration and conquest in the Americas. I have included a full breakdown of topics studied each week in the syllabus, along with probable assignments, but assignments are subject to change depending on time/pace once we start the class.

This is a self-paced class, which means that there will be no live meetings. Instead, I will post a lecture video for students to watch, as well as links to additional resources, additional videos explaining assignments where necessary, and discussion questions for students to answer. In addition, students will complete and turn in their assignments on the classroom wall or via message to me.

I will provide a lecture video on the topic we are studying before students work on their assignments. It is not required, but it is very strongly suggested that the student do some studying of their own on each topic prior to attending class. Since I only have an hour a week with them, it is impossible to fit everything in and learning about the era before we study it in class will help them tremendously! Generally I suggest a book for students to read along with the class, but for World History this would mean purchasing several books. Instead, I will be listing the topics we will cover for each week and will suggest a Crash Course video for students to watch to prepare for class. After enrolling, you will get a detailed list of videos for each week. If your student is a visual learner, Crash Course videos are a wonderful way to introduce them to the topics we will cover in World History. If your student prefers to read, any World History book you already have will likely cover the same topics we are covering in class. By following along with the topics chronologically, your student can keep up with the class material!

Materials will be posted on the classroom wall and can be printed or uploaded to a website like kamiapp.com where you type directly onto the worksheet. Additionally, many of the worksheets will be editable in Adobe so that students can write directly onto them after opening the pdf.
