사진으로 보는 미국 역사: 탐구 기반 사회 연구 탐구(14-16세)

You may have heard the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." But have you ever considered what it means? Join us as we dive into stories from the past by examining some famous and not so famous images. 

Each week we examine a specific historical topic through images and inquiry. Learners develop their critical thinking skills by sharing observations, prior knowledge, asking questions and working together to create inferences about the images. As the instructor I provide information on the time period and stories behind the images as we collaborate to determine the importance of each work. While the class is discussion based and designed to foster interaction and cooperation, learners are welcome to participate at their comfort level. If your learner prefers to listen or engage in the discussion through the chat box, that works too! 

Learners of all levels are welcome in this class. Some study of US History is helpful but not required as each learner brings their own unique knowledge, skills and life experiences to our group.

Resources for further study of the week's topic, along with an optional project, are shared at the end of each class. 

It is important to know that this class is taught with an inclusive approach to history and images and stories of Americans from a broad range of backgrounds will be shared and discussed. Topics such as racism, prejudice, warfare, etc. will be addressed as they come up in a thoughtful and age-appropriate way.  For more information, refer to the parental guidance section of this listing.

This class is dyslexia friendly. Most of the content is presented through images and anything written in the presentation, along with relevant comments from the chat, will be read aloud to learners.
