每週 1-2 小時. The projects can be viewed as homework and there are optional homework assignments every week that include a worksheet to check comprehension and Nearpod activities.等級
If a family would like grades, all assignments would need to be turned in to me, as well as projects, and missed assignments would impact the grade. We can also be flexible if parents want to communicate about grading policy.我們無法翻譯此文，請刷新頁面並再試一次。

Beginner 等級
This is the second quarter of a year long Project Based Middle School Ancient History course. In this session, students will discover Ancient Africa and Ancient Greece through visual lectures & hands on project based learning. I combine both comprehensive lessons using slides, images, lecture, and attached videos, as well as hands on projects to deepen learning and bring the topic of focus to life. With each lesson, a hands on project will be provided along with a mini lesson. Both the visual lecture and the project will be included in one video lesson. (This equals two live classes) In addition, my weekly lessons usually involve 4 posts: 1. A visual recorded lecture that includes both the lecture and the project 2. A selection of short educational videos to deepen learning 3. An optional homework assignment that checks comprehension and solidifies learning and can be turned in for a grade or can be used to turn in to charter schools along with the project. 4. A Nearpod Activity (No subscription needed) Projects: There are many projects that will ask learners to create a model of a historic structure. I will allow students to choose their medium, and options can include air dry clay, wood or plastic blocks, cardboard, craft board, or recycled materials, as well as Minecraft (if parents allow). If learners would like to use plastic building blocks but don't have a large collection, they can download online building software, which is free and allows students to build with endless pieces. I will send a link to that upon enrollment. Projects are mostly carried out in Maker style, meaning I give the students the freedom to decide how they want to create their project rather than offering step by step instructions. I find students feel more confident and less stressed this way and don't feel defeated when their projects don't turn out exactly how they are "supposed" to. Plus, I enjoy offering students time to use their inventiveness and problem solving skills. Only a few projects will be more similar to art projects, meaning I will offer step by step instructions, but even then, students will have the freedom to use the instructions or figure out their own style. The intention is always immersion in the learning, rather than a perfect result.
學習目標
Students will:
* Develop their appreciation for history
* Be able to begin seeing patterns in history
* Due to the visual quality of the lecture and the review in the form of comprehension sheet, projects, and Nearpod activities, retain what they learned
* Through lectures, worksheets, and projects, develop enough of an understanding and familiarity with the subjects covered that they can converse with family and friends about them.

來源
The content for this course has come from a combination resources. I primarily used a few California Middle school Textbooks, however, due to the single viewpoint that can be problematic, I include youtube videos with Own Voices academics, historians, and archeologists when necessary. An example: In the lesson on Ancient African cultures, I incorporate archeologists and historians who explore the inherent racism historically in the field of history and how this mistakenly led to many ancient achievements from Ancient Kush, being attributed to Egyptians. I have found Youtube videos to an excellent way to incorporate current Own Voices Historians and Archeologists into lessons.
Textbooks used:
McGraw Hill A History of the World
Holt World History Ancient Civilizations
Nearpod- Many activities related to the Paleolithic & Neolithic Ages and Ancient Mesopotamia
A series of youtube videos incorporating historians and archeologists often from the region being focused on. Those videos can be accessed in the classroom posts.
教師專業知識和證書
I have been teaching both World History and American History to Middle Schoolers and Elementary aged kids for about 6 years now. History is my passion and I have traveled the world, visiting many ancient and neolithic sites, studying and working with local historians, and writing. I have worked with archivists and read hundreds of first hand accounts of war, famine, and every day experiences of the old ways of life from baking bread to making soap. It has also been my ongoing education to voraciously read history books, both of ancient history, and most importantly, newly written historical commentaries that look at and analyze our previously written histories with an intention to decolonize the way we view history. I have lived off and on oversees for the past 25 years in a country that is still currently under occupation, therefore I have a unique insight into the importance of telling history from different angles and an understanding of the importance of more than one story being expressed.
