アメリカの歴史（通年） - 継続中

This is an ongoing class that covers a different piece of US History each session through primary sources and class discussion. Each session is a different topic and assignment so students can join in at any time. Most classes will start with a short lecture on the topic, then students will spend some time reading historical sources and answering guiding questions, and last we will discuss the readings as a class. Some sessions we will do more than one set of readings and questions during class, depending on time. 

I will post the class material for students each week, so students need no outside materials. Though we will cover events chronologically, we will not cover every part of United States History. Instead, each session will focus on a topic (or two) that we will deep dive into. You can find a full list of the topics and dates below.

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.
