Java Edition will NOT be used. 👥 AGE RANGE: Basic English and computer skills are helpful. No prior Minecraft experience is required, but it can be beneficial. 📜 CLASS OVERVIEW: ⚔️ War has shaped human history, and while it is an unfortunate reality, one of history’s greatest lessons is how to learn from the past. In this course, we will explore four major wars, analyzing: 🕰️ What led to them ⚔️ What happened during them 🌎 Their impact on the world We’ll ask important questions like: Can war be prevented? Is it true that “we can secure peace only by preparing for war”? 🎮 Using Minecraft, we’ll travel through different time periods, exploring historical battlefields, key events, and the lives of those affected. Each lesson brings a new war and era, making history come alive like never before! 📖 History shouldn't just stay in books—let’s experience it together! 🚀
Learning Goals
In this course, we’ll explore new Minecraft worlds each lesson, guided by me. We’ll uncover past wars, the people who lived them, and re-enact key moments as a team. History comes alive in Minecraft—because “We are made by history.” 🌍⚔️
