美國高中家庭學校歷史課程（第 2 部分：1877 年至今）

Class Summary: 
Welcome Historian! In this semester-long U.S. History Class, we will study & interpret the historical narrative of people, events, and moments in history that shaped the United States. Join us and learn with projects, games, stories, & fun activities! 

This U.S. History class for High School students is a semester-long course which spans the years from 1877-Present.  A first semester version of this course covers 1607-1877. 

Inspired by the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills and National Social Studies standards, this engaging & fast-paced class will cover the History of the United States from Reconstruction to present day.  

Students will learn & participate in class through hands-on projects, games, activities & interactive lessons. 

Students are welcome to enroll at any time. However, since the course builds, it is typically challenging for students to catch up once the course has progressed past the first two meetings.  

This class is presented from an inclusive lens and will present a variety of perspectives for students to evaluate, particularly those of historically under-represented groups.



Class Format: 
1.Class Welcome
2. History Lesson for the day
3. In-Class Activity
4. Comprehension Check (mini-quiz/activity/or project)+ Assignment(s) for the week
 
Students will be immersed in the historical narratives through video, slides, images, discussion with peers, and other engaging visuals to aid students in reading and historical comprehension. 

This class is perfect for visual/hands-on learners, who want to improve reading comprehension, thrive with a more moderate pace of instruction, or value flexibility in their learning experience.

This class will meet once a week for 45 minutes, for 16 weeks. Learners do not need prior historical knowledge to enroll.

CLASSROOM POLICIES:
1. Learners should be familiar with muting/unmuting themselves
2. Students are invited to immerse themselves in the class and participate. Please encourage students to be open to new experiences & perspectives. Also, to get the most out of the learning experience, I ask that students refrain from being engaged in other activities that take them away from participation whether that be eating, or their phone, or other such distractions. 
3. Siblings are welcome but must be enrolled in the course. 
4. To ensure safety, every student needs to have their camera on so I can verify the identity of the student. 
5. Promptness is appreciated. Students running more than 10 minutes late should contact me about accessing course materials to catch up on instruction they might have missed.  No partial refunds are available for missed class time.
6. I always have the BEST students🧡 and want every learner to have a FANTASTIC experience in class! Therefore I expect that all students conduct themselves in ways that are respectful and not disruptive to themselves, their instructor, or fellow learners.
