시간 여행자: 영국 역사

Let's take a trip to the past! Do you want to know where people in the stone age lived, what medieval lords ate and what Tudor children wore? Join me in this class as we explore the past. 

Each week, we will look at a different period in history and discover what life was like for different people and communities and different times in history. 

We will use different sources, including documents, artwork and archeological finds as a way to view the past. The class will be discussion based and use the different sources as a prompt for discussions. Through the classes, learners will learn about different time periods, as well as practicing using sources to help inform their opinions.
