This is the third in a series of year-long History classes, specifically covering Early Modern History. This class uses the Curiosity Chronicles curriculum to teach Early Modern History for 3rd to 6th graders. Curiosity Chronicles teaches history via conversation between two main characters - Mona and Ted - allowing for the study of history to feel more fun than academic! The student textbook and activity guide will be provided for at home use. I teach in a Socratic style, preferring to ask students for their thoughts instead of imparting my own. As a result, classes tend to be discussion-based. Each week, we will read a chapter of the student text and complete the student activity pages. The first meeting each week will focus on the textbook work, and we will work on a timeline, complete map work, and learn about each "culture corner" in the second meeting. 

Our general class outline:
Week 1: England Has a Glorious Revolution 
Week 2: The Color Green is Banned in Ireland
Week 3: The Ottoman’s Last Stab at Glory
Week 4: Peter Looks West
Week 5: Osei Tutu Receives the Golden Stool
Week 6: The Growth of Chattel Slavery
Week 7: Here There Be Pirates!
Week 8: Queen Nanny Defeats the British in Jamaica
Week 9: How the First Global War Got Started
Week 10: The British Inch Into India
Week 11: Religious Fervor in the Colonies
Week 12: The Three Way War for North America

This class is intended as an elementary history class, so while additional resources are listed in the textbook, we will cover them only as time permits. Students will need access to their textbook and each chapter's activity guide materials while in class.
