(Self-Paced) Homeschool Modern World History: Industry to World Wars

Does your learner think history is just a list of dates and battles? Let them step into the story instead! In this engaging course, learners won’t just study history—they’ll experience it. From simulating the chaos of the Russian Revolution to debating appeasement strategies on the eve of World War II, they’ll step into the shoes of those who lived through history’s most transformative moments.

Through hands-on activities like simulating the growth of an industrial town—seeing firsthand the effects of rapid change—analyzing the Treaty of Versailles as one of the Big Four, and serving as jurors in the Nuremberg Trials, learners will actively engage with history. They'll even predict Hitler’s moves as foreign policy advisors and complete the Peep-Into History: Modern Diorama Project to bring key events to life.

As they navigate the Industrial Revolution, Imperialism, two World Wars, and the rise of ideologies that defined the 20th century, learners will hone critical thinking, collaboration, and decision-making skills. By the end, they’ll not only understand history—they’ll feel empowered by it.

This course is perfect for curious minds ready to explore, create, and challenge their perspectives on the past while building connections to the present.

Peep-Into History Diorama Project**
Learners will have the option to undertake the Peep-Into History Diorama Project. A diorama, defined as a life-size, three-dimensional scene from nature or history, will be recreated on a PEEP scale for this project. Learners will select an event from this era of US history that they have studied and utilize the resources provided in class to gather ideas for their project. I will be available to provide guidance, suggestions, and help students refine their ideas. Once learners have gained teacher and/or adult approval for their chosen event, they will proceed to construct a diorama representing the selected event. This project offers a unique opportunity for students to engage with history in a creative and hands-on manner, and I look forward to witnessing their imaginative interpretations come to life.

Please note: The specific requirements and guidelines for both projects will be provided in class.

While my courses can be taken in any order based on individual preferences and needs, I would highly recommend taking them in chronological order. This sequencing allows for a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and enhances the learning experience. Therefore, I suggest following this chronological order for optimal learning:

(Self-Paced) Homeschool Ancient World History
(Self-Paced) Homeschool Classical Era: Greece, Rome & Beyond
(Self-Paced) Homeschool Medieval World History
(Self-Paced) Homeschool Early Modern World History
(Self-Paced) Homeschool Modern World History
(Self-Paced) Homeschool Cold War Era & Beyond 

By following this chronological order, learners can gradually build upon their knowledge and develop a well-rounded understanding of the subject matter. They can trace the evolution of ideas, events, and societies over time, which fosters a more coherent and interconnected understanding of the subject.

However, I understand that individual circumstances and preferences may influence the order in which courses are taken. Ultimately, it is important to choose the sequencing that aligns best with your learning goals and interests.
