week 8-Review-mapping the change

Each week we meet to discuss changes that occurred based on the weekly topic. 
Classes will be lecture and learner led discussion-based. 

I consider myself to be a relaxed teacher. I enjoy telling stories of individuals that were part of the content we are learning.  When possible I use content-based video clips that use humor to encourage learner participation and questions. 

I  enjoy having a lesson develop organically based on learner interests about the content.
Primary Sources may include: film footage, relevant artwork, music, and other media sources that support each topic.
Learners are provided weekly review games on either Kahoot! or Blooket.
