Students will become familiar with the context, chronology, elites, and consequences of the French and Indian War.

I have taught this course for several years as a full-time, certified Elementary and Secondary teacher at the District of Columbia Public Schools.  I was a fellow in the Teaching American History program at the American University specifically focussing on the American Revolution.  Additionally, I received an Excellence Award from the Educational Testing Service for Outstanding performance on the PRAXIS II Test for Social Studies Content Knowledge. My unique expertise is in developing and teaching content-rich humanities units that integrate geography, history, literature, science, art, and music.  Additionally, I have developed a repertoire of strategies for teaching reading in the content area to intermediate-age students.

提供的家庭作業
Each week, students will read and respond to a written text.  Assignments are designed to help students engage with the content.  The amount of time necessary to complete the assignments will depend on the learner. 
提供的評估
I will provide feedback on all submitted assignments.  Completed work can be compiled into a portfolio.  If requested I will provide a letter grade and certificate.

The following are a few of the sources I used to develop the content for this class:

• Voices of the American Past: Documents in U.S. History, 5th ed. (J Chris Arndt with Raymond M. Hyser), Cengage, 2 vols., 2012. Arndt is Associate Dean of College of Arts and Letters at James Madison University.

• An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. 

• Africans in America by Patricia Smith and Charlies Johnson

Additionally, we will utilize a wealth of original source documents that are available through the Library of Congress and National Archives online, discuss relevant literature, and analyze iconic paintings, including Braddock's Defeat by Emanuel Leutze.
