リトルビッグホーンの戦い - アメリカ史トライアルクラス（1年間）

This trial class is for anyone who might be interested in my year long US or World History courses but is hesitant to commit before knowing if my teaching style is a good fit. This one-time class is structured just like my year long classes so that students can get a taste of how I teach, what the assignments are like, and how in-class time flows. This is a great example for how my longer classes will run and should provide students with an idea of my teaching style. 

All of my classes, especially my US History 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.

I currently offer two four-part United States History series and two four-part World History series. Part one of each series can be found at the links below. All of my history classes rely heavily on primary sources because I believe the best way to learn history is through the eyes of those who lived it. This class, as well as the majority of the class meetings for my year long classes, will begin with a short lecture on the topic and then we will work on analyzing primary source materials such as photos, letters, diary entries, documents, or other written resources. Students will first analyze individually and then we will discuss as a class. 

This one-time class focuses on the Battle of Little Bighorn. I will start by reviewing the difference between primary and secondary sources, then I will give a short lecture on the battle and then students will read accounts from Kate Bighead and J.D. Cameron. Students will work on analysis questions on their own and then we will work together to determine what we think happened during the battle. All materials for this class will be provided by me, but students will need to either print the included pdf or have it pulled up on their computer to use during class. Student need no prior knowledge of the battle or this era of US History before coming to class.
