Learn all about the US Civil War from someone who has been teaching it to this age group for 2 decades! There will be fifteen immersive sessions that will cover the lead-up to the conflict to the end of the war, Reconstruction, and the long-term effects of the war. I teach by using slides, original photographs, video clips, discussions and more. There will be question/answer periods and both group and individual opportunities to offer answers and opinions about the subject. I encourage participation in learners, as this is what truly makes the class interesting for all concerned. Some prior knowledge of the US Civil War helpful, but not a must. I've taught this subject for many years and most students have no background knowledge. As the teacher, I will be dressed in a reproduction Civil War uniform for most sessions.
学習到達目標
Students will be able to analyze and explain the complex political, economic, social, and ideological factors that led to the outbreak of the American Civil War.
Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of major battles, campaigns, and strategic decisions that shaped the course of the war.

I have been teaching military history to elementary students since 2001 and parents have appreciated the approach I use given the age of the students. I try to keep our study away from the more age inappropriate topics, such as The Holocaust, harsh treatment of POW's, etc. It is not that these topics aren't important, it's just that the age range for these lessons (8-14) is a bit on the younger side, so I feel that they are better left to teachers of older grades. When I do get questions about the more disturbing aspects of the war, I might answer along the lines of, "these soldiers went into this country and did not treat the people there well," instead of giving specifics. Having said this, please be aware that these classes are about warfare and military history. One aspect of this is to talk about weapons from the corresponding era, and to discuss advancements in military technology. I don't handle any firearms personally, but we do discuss weapons and technology and I show pictures and videos when appropriate.
If your learner is sensitive to this kind of subject, and may get frightened or upset upon seeing a picture of a rifle, cannon, tank or bullet, then this may not be the class for them. This is a class about military history, and there is no way to avoid this, so please take this into account before signing up.

I have been a teacher since 2001 and for most of that time I have been teaching social studies at the elementary or middle school level. Coupled with that, my collection of military uniforms and my living history experience add greatly to my lessons.
