It is split into three sections, which each have two units. ⭐This class is section one which covers units 1 & 2 Each class I provide a note template that students will fill out as we move through the lesson. Information from the notes will be included in the unit final that students will take at the end of each unit to assess their learning. Each note assignment is worth 2 points and is based on completion. I also assign one project per unit that students will present to the class and receive a grade on. To enhance student learning, I also provide coloring pages that students can print and color during class and six enrichment activities per unit (12 total for Section 1). These are both optional and will not affect students' final letter grade. Each unit I assign one reading assignment students should complete prior to class to facilitate a class discussion.テスト
We will have informal assessments in each class (such as class discussions, drawing a picture to display understanding, etc.) and one short quiz in each unit. At the end of each unit we will have a final multiple choice assessment that students will do on their own time. The final assessments range from 18-30 questions.文章の成績

Some sensitive topics that will be covered include:
UNIT 1: Disease (in the Americas and in Europe), genocide of Native American Tribes, Christopher Columbus.
UNIT 2: Land theft, colonization, genocide, the Atlantic Slave Trade, the Salem Witch Trials, violent events that led to the American Revolution, and the battles of the American Revolution.
Some of the sources that we study contain inaccurate content (for example: A Young People's History of the United States uses the term "Indians" instead of Indigenous Peoples). I will always point out these inaccuracies in class as part of our discussions. If you have concerns about a specific source, please contact me.
受講の前提条件
Students should be able to type and label the USA & all continents on a map. They should be familiar with basic US History concepts i.e., Native Americans lived in North America before Europeans, the US fought a war for Independence, etc.

Over the course of the year, this class will cover several sensitive topics including: the genocide of Indigenous Nations including the Aztec, Inca, Maya, and North American tribes from the Northeast Woodland, Southeast, Southwest, Plateau, California, and Northwest Coast regions by European explorers, the immoral Atlantic Slave Trade and conditions that enslaved people experienced, violent events that led to the American Revolution, and the battles of the American Revolution. This unit specifically will cover the genocide of Indigenous Nations.
I am an experienced Social Studies teacher in both Utah and North Carolina. In my training and experience teaching in the classroom I have found that the best way to approach these sensitive topics is to address them explicitly and have an open conversation with my students. We discuss the mindset of historical societies, the moral implications of their actions, how it affects us to today, and why it can be difficult to talk about these subjects at times.
I make it clear to my students that they are always welcome to meet with me individually if they are bothered by any of these discussions. I also ask them, and the parents to contact me if they are concerned with my class content or delivery. These topics can be difficult to navigate and I am always trying to improve!レビュー
