CLASS EXPERIENCE:
MINECRAFT BEDROCK EDITION. This edition can be played on PC, Android, and iOS. Nintendo Switch and other consoles can be used but it involves more work (please message me before class). We will NOT be using Minecraft Java Edition

AGE RANGE:
Basic knowledge of English and Computers will be highly beneficial. Prior experience with Minecraft is not required but beneficial. 

CLASS OVERVIEW:
In this course we will be learning about Ancient History through the game of Minecraft. Ancient History shows us why the world around us is the way that it is. It may have been thousands of years ago but it is still very relevant today. How did we get here? Where do we go now? These are big questions that need big answers. History is who we are and why we are the way we are. Earth is more connected than ever before. “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots”. We need to understand each other.

The Egyptians gave us writing that most of us use every day. The Greeks gave us our philosophy and government. The Babylonians gave us the laws that we have to follow. The Romans, well, what didn't the Romans do for us? The Chinese gave us countless inventions that we take for granted every day.

We will take a tour of a different periods of history through the game of Minecraft. We will visit a new civilization and time period each lesson. We will experience Ancient History like never before! 

During this course, we will explore the World:
7-13 November: The Agricultural Revolution
14-20 November: Ancient Egypt
21-27 November: Ancient Greece
28 November-4 December: Ancient Babylon

History should not just be kept in the history books.
