History Herald: U.S. American History Middle School Mind! Part Two! 1870s -Today 

"Extra! Extra! Learn All About It! Everything you need to know about U.S. History is here!" Travel with us through the United States American history 1870's through the present! With Part ONE and TWO, this is a full curriculum course that covers the entire school year. 


This is a Self-Paced class with Teacher Courtney that travels through the history of the United States starting in the 1870's through the present. We will start after the Civil War with a United States that is rebuilding and redefining its purpose and place. 

We work through readings, conversations, slides, games, video clips and activities to use our critical thinking skills to unravel and discover how the United States was born, developed, and grew throughout its lifetime. 

Please note that there are some sensitive topics that will be addressed throughout the course including but not limited to: genocide, slavery, and sectional violence.

This is a beginner’s class, so previous knowledge is not necessary. e work  through readings, conversations, slides & presentations, activities,  games, and video clips to activate our critical thinking skills to unravel and discover how the United States was born, developed, and grew throughout its lifetime. 

Please note that there are some sensitive topics that will be addressed throughout the course including but not limited to: genocide, slavery, and sectional violence.

Each lesson, students will be give a weekly reading assignment from the book. Next, a recorded lesson will be attached to the classroom created by the instructor to guide them through the historical details of that topic. Students will then use independent time to work on the activities for the week. Activities will vary each week from escape rooms, small projects, creative drawings, short readings and questions, and more.  Students will also be encouraged to engage in class discussion by answering thought provoking conversation discussion questions in the classroom. Students will also be sent various follow up activities that are optional for the student to learn more about particular topics each week if so desired.

We will use "Everything You Need to Ace U.S. History In One Big Fat Notebook" by Workman Publishing and Philip Bigler as our class reference for this class. I will also add worksheets, games, videos, and slides to bring the content to life! This book is just used as a primer- to give students a broad understanding of the topic to get conversations moving. Students will read from this book each lesson to understand the basics of the topic. 

Feedback will be given by the instructor for each assignment and activity. Students have the entire week to do the required work and hand it in for the teacher to evaluate. All assignments and activities will be given in PDF format for the student to access. All videos will be created and attached to the Out school classroom for the learner to access as well. 


We will also learn how to "understand" and research history like a historian. Students will learn historical research skills that will aid them in breaking down and analyzing history while helping them build critical thinking skills. Some skills that will be addressed are Chronological Thinking, Source Analysis, Inference, Relevance, and Summarizing. 

Students are encouraged to hand in their work which can be evaluated by the teacher if so desired. Grades available also upon request for those that desire it.
