Hello and Welcome:

Just a side note before starting -> I must have at least 3 students enrolled before starting this class. I apologize for any inconvenience. 

This Introductory United States Geography & History class will help younger learners understand important facts and basic history about the States in America. It will cover things such as: 
-> Capitals
-> State Birds, Flowers, Trees, and Nicknames
-> State Flag History
-> People, Places, History, and Customs that make the State unique
-> Popular Tourism Attractions including the one's for Children
-> Other fascinating details and fun facts in this 50 States course. 

Class will start out covering from the letter “A” States and go through the Alphabet. Between one and three states are covered per day. This is a very interactive class so one of my main rules is that the learners camera and audio MUST BE ON at all times or parents/guardians will be contacted.  
This class will be structured by lecture, interaction among everyone, fun facts and activities.  Learners will receive the next day power points via the Classroom so please make sure they either have them printed out or that they have them pulled up on the computer during class time. There will also be a verbal quiz after each state.

Here is a brief example of a class topic:
Lets talk about Arkansas. The reason I am going to talk about this state is because it is my home state. 
Arkansas Is in the south and was the 25th State to enter the union and was purchased as part of the Louisiana Purchase as a separate territory back in 1819 and then achieved statehood and became an official state in 1836. The capital of Arkansas is Little Rock, which is also the largest populated city with almost 200,000 people residing there. Arkansas is also the home of the largest point of the U.S. Interior Highlands and that Is Mount Magazine located in Logan County in Western Arkansas. There is a hiking trail called Signal Hill that actually takes you to the highest point of the mountain and that is right at 2,753 feet above sea level. Arkansas is the nation’s leading producer of rice and poultry and grows nearly every crop produced in the United States with the exception of citrus fruits. 

This will be a very informative course for students and at the end, almost all students leave with not only several states they are fans of, but they also beg their parents to plan a visit too.
