美國歷史：國家歷史

If you are curious about how the United States grew from the first 13 states to have 50 states, then come and join us! In this class, we will take a look at the history of each state: Who settled it? When and how did it join the Union? What important events happened there and who came from there? What is it most known for today? What makes it unique? We will explore it's geography and where people live and why. We will take a look at the different cultures that have lived and currently live there and how that sets it apart from other states. We will also explore some of the unusual features - What state created spam? What state invented the bread slicer? What state has a county where it is illegal to eat fried chicken with a fork? Come and join us as we find out! 


This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities (recipes, movies, dioramas, experiments, etc.). Please see the syllabus below for a layout of the lessons included in this course.
