Tareas
1-2 horas por semana. Weekly materials will be posted in the classroom, with most being digital-friendly and a select few requiring printing. For those who prefer not to print, PDFs will be available to view on your device. Brief, independent assignments will often extend outside classroom time due to our packed agenda. Every learner will get at least one week to complete assignments and will receive advanced notice for larger projects. Homework, necessary for a deeper understanding, will be light—expect about 30 to 60 minutes per week. It's important to note that learners have varying speeds and styles of learning, and this may reflect in the time taken to complete tasks. Completing these assignments diligently on one's own time will not only reinforce the material discussed in class but will also prepare learners for more engaging and productive class experience. For digital worksheets, please refer to the 'Materials' section, which contains a list of third-party websites where they can be accessed.

Is getting your learner excited about modern history harder than getting rival superpowers to agree? From the Cold War to independence movements, this full-curriculum course brings history to life with simulations & real-world connections!

Navigate the Cold War & Beyond—Where History Meets Strategy!

In this full-curriculum course, learners step into history’s most pivotal moments—from the Yalta Conference to the Space Race, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and struggles for independence in Africa and Asia. Through interactive simulations and hands-on projects, students will analyze Cold War tensions, global conflicts, and political turning points that continue to shape the world today.

🔹 Lead high-stakes decisions in Cold War simulations
🔹 Investigate historical mysteries in the Cold War Conspiracy Theory Project
🔹 Get hands-on with history in the optional PEEPS Diorama Project

By the end, learners won’t just know history—they’ll connect it to today’s global challenges. Flexible, interactive, and engaging—this isn’t just history, it’s an adventure!

********************************************************

*Heads-Up: This Class is NOT a Spectator Sport!
This isn’t your typical sit-back-and-zone-out history class—your learner is part of the action! Whether we’re diving into simulations, debates, or critical-thinking challenges, their participation is what makes this class engaging, exciting, and, well… not just another lecture!

That said, if participation turns into radio silence, we’ll have to shift into a lecture-style format to ensure all key material is covered. But let’s be real—that’s way less fun.

So, encourage your learner to jump in, share their thoughts, make decisions, and engage! The more they put into this experience, the more they'll get out of it (and the less likely we are to drift into Lecture Land).

**Another Heads-Up: Punctuality Matters! 
This class runs on engagement and interaction, so arriving on time is key! While late arrivals are always welcome to jump in, we won’t be able to restart simulations or backtrack on missed activities—there’s just too much to cover.

To get the most out of the experience (and avoid feeling lost mid-simulation), being on time is strongly encouraged. Help your learner hit the ground running from the start—it makes for a smoother, more immersive class for everyone!

***Be Prepared & Ready to Dive In!
Each week, all required materials will be posted in the classroom—most are digital-friendly, with a few that may need printing. If printing isn’t your thing, no worries! PDFs can be easily viewed on your device.

Bringing materials to class ensures a smooth, engaging experience—so have everything ready, and let’s make history come alive!

Which Course Should You Take First?
While my courses can be taken in any order based on individual preferences and needs, I would highly recommend taking them in chronological order. This sequencing allows for a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and enhances the learning experience. Therefore, I suggest following this chronological order for optimal learning:

📜 World History: Ancient & Classical Civilizations 🏛
⚔️ World History: Medieval & Early Modern Era 🎨   
🌍 World History: Modern Era, Cold War & Beyond 🛰️ 

Following this order helps learners see the evolution of ideas, societies, and historical events over time, creating a cohesive and engaging learning experience.

That said, you’re free to start wherever fits your interests and learning goals—history should be flexible and fun!

Metas de aprendizaje

Explore the Industrial Revolution's transformative impact on society through technological advances, the factory system, and the rise of economic theories, social reforms, and political movements.
Explore European imperialism's impact on distant lands and its effects on local societies and traditions. Investigate how Western powers influenced China and Japan, reshaping their futures.

Orientación para padres
The study of world history encompasses a wide range of topics, including some sensitive subjects from the past such as war, slavery, racism, religion, and genocide. In this course, it is important to approach these topics with sensitivity and respect. Religion will be discussed solely in its historical context, focusing on its influence on societies and events throughout history. The aim is to provide learners with an understanding of how religion shaped various civilizations without promoting any particular religious beliefs. To foster a comprehensive understanding, learners will be exposed to multiple perspectives through the use of peer-reviewed and scholarly sources. Critical and reflective thinking will be encouraged, allowing students to analyze historical events, conflicts, security issues, religious influences, and economic factors from different angles. Discussions in the classroom will be closely moderated, ensuring a balanced and unbiased approach. The teacher will facilitate discussions, encourage participation, and monitor the conversations to maintain a secular standpoint that respects all viewpoints. When relevant, viewpoints from marginalized groups will be explored, providing a broader understanding of history from different social, cultural, and ethnic perspectives. This approach promotes inclusivity and helps learners develop empathy and a deeper appreciation for diverse experiences. Great care will be taken to present the content in an age-appropriate manner, ensuring that the material is accessible, respectful, and suitable for the maturity level of the learners.
Requisitos previos
This course relies heavily on learner interaction, discussion, and engagement. While no prior knowledge is required, learners should come ready to actively participate, share ideas, and contribute to discussions.
