歷史先驅：皇家統治者和傳奇領袖 - 好的、壞的和呃,

History Herald: Rulers of Old: Kings, Queens, Pharaohs, Emperors, Presidents, & More!
In this ongoing class, students will travel back in time and learn about ancient rulers and leading leaders of different cultures and periods.

Extra! Extra! Come learn all about it! Come join us for a weekly history adventure as we explore the rulers of the past. Each week, the students will be introduced to a new ruler, the area they ruled over, and the greatest accomplishments or failures of the past leader. 

We will look into the lives of each ruler- what do we know about their childhood, how did they come to power, how did they rule, how did they treat their people, what accomplishments or failures in governing did they have, and what accomplishments did they have in advancing their societies. Each section is independent, so students can choose which weeks they would like to attend. 

Every class will be an interactive history adventure to introduce your children to some of history's most famous and infamous rulers.

Did you know that Julius Caesar created a massive empire?
Did you know that Henry VIII had 6 wives?
Did you know that Cleopatra defeated her brother to become queen?
Did you know that Kublai Khan conquered China?
Did you know that Charlemagne was the first Holy Roman Emperor?
Did you know that Tutankhamun became pharaoh when he was only 9 years old? 

Each week, students will be engaged through an interactive presentation, activity, and group collaboration! 

Students will be given a handout to create an encyclopedia entry. Students are encouraged to keep them from each week allowing them to create their own history book of all the leaders they learned about.  

No prior knowledge is needed as this class is for all levels who want to learn more about the past!

Each week will break down as such:
Introductions and Greetings
Ruler Introduction- What do we know?
Presentation of ruler and culture via slides
Small activity to reinforce information
Closing with quick facts quiz and/or  student's thoughts

So come join us for an adventure as we learn about the people who ruled and their places!
