In Part II of this year-long social studies course, students will continue to explore major global events, from the World Wars to contemporary global issues. Topics include the World Wars and Interwar Period, the Cold War and Decolonization, and the Contemporary World.

The course is structured into units, with a mix of lectures, discussions, interactive activities, independent assignments, and assessments. I will teach using a combination of multimedia resources, including slides, video clips, primary source documents, and games to keep students actively involved and excited about learning. My teaching style emphasizes inquiry-based learning, encouraging students to ask questions, think critically, and make connections between historical events and the present day.

Meeting twice weekly for an hour, students will have frequent opportunities to interact with me and their peers through both direct instruction from me, as well as group discussions, collaborative projects, and classroom debates. These interactions are designed to foster a supportive learning environment where all students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and perspectives. Additionally, I will provide targeted support and accommodations to ensure that all students can fully participate and succeed in the course.


**This course will begin in January and include two weeks off in March, and will end in May. Specific dates and meeting times are listed in the class sections.**
