미국 역사 동아리! (진행 중)

If you love history, you will love Middle School History Club!  Dozens of United States historical topics each week! Trivia Games! Rap Songs! Jeopardy! Prizes! Debates! Public Speaking! and More! This class is great for middle school as well as high school students. 

Each class covers major United States topics that occurred during that week in history. So topics are always relevant, endless, and students have the opportunity to participate in numerous historical game celebrating these events.  Since each class covers the different historical topics of that week, students can join the class at anytime! 

While studying the various historical topics - we have a lot of fun with history! From trivia and Jeopardy Games to our classroom magazine - this class will be like no history class you have ever taken! 

But most importantly, everyone should be a Historian. Historian George Santayana stated, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Indeed, history is one of the most critical subjects for all youth and adults. It is our past. It is our present. It is our future. The more we learn about it, the more we can make the world a better place. And that is the ultimate goal of this class - to empower every student with the skills and passion of history... to make history....
