週1時間. Weekly materials will be posted in the classroom, with most being digital-friendly and a select few requiring printing. For those who prefer not to print, PDFs will be available to view on your device. Brief, independent assignments will often extend outside classroom time due to our packed agenda. Every learner will get at least one week to complete assignments and will receive advanced notice for larger projects. Homework, necessary for a deeper understanding, will be light—expect about 30 to 60 minutes per week. It's important to note that learners have varying speeds and styles of learning, and this may reflect in the time taken to complete tasks. Completing these assignments diligently on one's own time will not only reinforce the material discussed in class but will also prepare learners for more engaging and productive class experience. For digital worksheets, please refer to the 'Materials' section, which contains a list of third-party websites where they can be accessed.
テスト
Upon request and prior to the start of the course, assessments can be conducted throughout the course to evaluate learner progress and understanding. These assessments may include quizzes, tests, projects, feedback and/or other forms of evaluation (i.e. letter grade). Parents and learners are encouraged to discuss their grading preferences with the teacher. The purpose of assessments and grades is to provide feedback on student learning and measure their achievement. It is important for learners to actively participate in assessments and seek feedback to gauge their progress and areas of improvement. Furthermore, a detailed rubric will be provided specifically for the project. This rubric will serve as a guideline to assess and evaluate the quality and creativity of the learners' project. It will outline the criteria and expectations, ensuring transparency and fairness in the assessment process. Learners will have a clear understanding of the criteria by which their projects will be evaluated, allowing them to strive for excellence in their projects.

Learners will embark on a journey through recent history, from the late 1940s to the early 21st century, as we explore major events that have shaped our world today. Starting after World War II, we'll explore how nations interacted and sometimes clashed during the tense Cold War period.

Our exploration begins in Europe with the Yalta Conference, where powerful countries divided the continent, leaving Germany split. Berlin quickly became a hotspot of Cold War drama, exemplified by its division into East and West. We'll dive into events like the Berlin Blockade and Airlift, which set the stage for the construction of the notorious Berlin Wall.

We'll then shift our focus to Asia, examining the rise of Communism in China. From the Chinese Civil War to Mao Zedong's radical policies like the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, we'll see how these movements dramatically changed Chinese society and government.

Next, we'll explore the journey towards independence in Africa and the Indian Subcontinent, focusing on how countries like India navigated their way to self-rule and the impacts of their separation from colonial powers.

The narrative will also bring us to critical Cold War battlegrounds in Asia—the Korean and Vietnam Wars. These conflicts drew global attention and had significant social and political consequences, involving players from around the world.

In the Caribbean, we'll uncover the story of the Cuban Revolution and the nail-biting Cuban Missile Crisis, which epitomized the global stand-off between superpowers and brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.

Our adventure will also take us to the stars with the Space Race, where the U.S. and Soviet Union competed to achieve spaceflight milestones, pushing the boundaries of technology and imagination.

As the Cold War winds down, we'll look at Middle Eastern nationalism and the intricate Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, tracing its origins and ongoing impact on regional and world politics.

To conclude, we'll explore the rise of globalization and the development of international organizations such as the United Nations, which have played crucial roles in fostering global cooperation and addressing international issues like human rights, environmental policies, and health crises.

*************************************************************************************************
-REFUND POLICY: I understand the appeal of booking in advance to secure a spot in classes, but I also acknowledge that circumstances may change. If you need to withdraw your learner for any reason up to ten days before the class's start date, I will gladly issue a full refund. Please don't hesitate to contact me in such cases. For inquiries regarding sibling discounts, please reach out for further assistance.

-In this class, active participation plays a crucial role in fostering meaningful engagement and learning. Learners are strongly encouraged to actively contribute to discussions, share their perspectives, and ask questions. Additionally, to promote critical thinking and facilitate in-class interactions, it's important to use the chat feature sparingly. While the chat is suitable for quick questions or clarifications, lengthy answers or discussions are best reserved for our face-to-face interactions.

-It is crucial for learners to be punctual and arrive on time for this class. While late arrivals will be allowed to join and participate from the moment they arrive, it is important to note that due to time constraints, we will not be able to restart simulations or catch up on activities for latecomers. To ensure the smooth progression of the class and maximize the learning experience for all participants, punctuality is strongly encouraged.
*************************************************************************************************

Each week, learners will find all required materials posted in the classroom, with most being digital-friendly and a select few requiring printing.  For those who prefer not to print, PDFs will be available to view on your device. Although I aim to provide enough in-class time for activities, given time limits, several brief assignments will require independent completion. Understanding our learners' busy lives, I provide ample time, at least one week, for the completion of each task and extended notice for projects.

**Cold War Conspiracy Theory Project
This captivating project will surely engage learners as they delve into the intriguing realm of Cold War era conspiracy theories.  After choosing from a list of teacher and/or parent approved era-relevant conspiracy theories, learners will assume the roles of researchers and historians, driven by the quest for uncovering the truth behind these mysteries. The project provides a comprehensive framework that guides learners through each step of the process, enabling them to acquire essential skills along the way.

As part of the project, learners will develop a solid foundation by learning key definitions and concepts related to conspiracy theories. They will be introduced to the significance of primary and secondary sources and gain the ability to discern the credibility of different sources. Furthermore, learners will practice effective note-taking techniques and brainstorming strategies to enhance their research process.

With this knowledge and skill set in place, learners will embark on an exploration of their chosen historical conspiracy theory. They will gather evidence from a variety of sources, meticulously evaluating and analyzing the information at hand. The project encourages students to form evidence-based conclusions, ensuring that their perspectives are grounded in sound reasoning.

Finally, learners will culminate their efforts by crafting a logical and organized presentation that showcases their diligent work. Their persuasive poster or digital presentation should aim to prove or disprove to their classmates of the truth behind the theory they have selected or been assigned. It will reflect the culmination of their research, critical thinking, and analytical skills, ultimately leaving a lasting impact on their peers.

**PEEPS Diorama Project:
As an alternative to the Cold War Conspiracy Theory Project, learners will have the option to undertake the PEEPS Diorama Project. A diorama, defined as a life-size, three-dimensional scene from nature or history, will be recreated on a PEEP scale for this project. Learners will select an event from the Cold War era that they have studied and utilize the resources provided in class to gather ideas for their project. I will be available to provide guidance, suggestions, and help students refine their ideas. Once students have gained teacher and/or adult approval for their chosen event, they will proceed to construct a diorama representing the selected event.  This project offers a unique opportunity for students to engage with history in a creative and hands-on manner, and I look forward to witnessing their imaginative interpretations come to life.

Please note: The specific requirements and guidelines for both projects will be provided in class.
*************************************************************************************************

While my courses can be taken in any order based on individual preferences and needs, I would highly recommend taking them in chronological order. This sequencing allows for a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and enhances the learning experience. Therefore, I suggest following this chronological order for optimal learning:

Homeschool Middle School Ancient World History
Homeschool Middle School Classical Era: Greece, Rome & Beyond
Homeschool Middle School Medieval World History
Homeschool Middle School Early Modern World History
Homeschool Middle School Modern World History
Homeschool Middle School Cold War Era & Beyond 

By following this chronological order, learners can gradually build upon their knowledge and develop a well-rounded understanding of the subject matter. They can trace the evolution of ideas, events, and societies over time, which fosters a more coherent and interconnected understanding of the subject.

However, I understand that individual circumstances and preferences may influence the order in which courses are taken. Ultimately, it is important to choose the sequencing that aligns best with your learning goals and interests.

***Note on Teaching Style and Learner Participation:
This class thrives on active student interaction and participation. The teaching methods, including simulations and critical thinking activities, are designed to engage and inspire. However, the success of these interactive sessions largely depends on learner involvement. Should active participation prove challenging, we may transition to a lecture format to ensure all essential material is thoroughly covered. I encourage all learners to join in, share their thoughts, and contribute to a dynamic learning environment, making the educational journey enriching for everyone.

The study of world history encompasses a range of sensitive topics that have shaped our past, including war, slavery, racism, religion, and genocide. It is important to note that religion will be approached solely from a historical standpoint, focusing on its role and impact throughout different time periods. To foster a comprehensive understanding, learners will be exposed to multiple perspectives through the use of peer-reviewed and scholarly sources. They will be encouraged to engage in critical and reflective thinking, particularly when examining the history of contemporary conflicts, issues, religion, and economics. These discussions will be actively moderated, encouraged, and closely monitored by the teacher, ensuring a fair and unbiased exploration of the topics from a secular standpoint. Furthermore, the course will actively seek to incorporate viewpoints from marginalized groups whenever applicable. By including these perspectives, learners will gain a more inclusive and comprehensive understanding of historical events. It is of utmost importance to me that the content is presented in an age-appropriate manner. I strive to ensure that the material is delivered in a sensitive and responsible way, taking into account the developmental stage and maturity of the students.
