課堂經歷
This is an ongoing class that covers a different piece of US History each week through primary sources and class discussion. Each week is a different topic and assignment so students can join in at any time. Most classes will start with a short lecture on the topic, then students will spend some time reading the passages for the week and answering guiding questions, and last we will discuss the readings as a class. Some weeks we will do more than one set of readings and questions during class, depending on time. I will post the class material for students each week, so students need no outside materials. Though we will cover events chronologically, we will not cover every part of United States History. Instead, each week will focus on a topic (or two) that we will deep dive into. You can find a full list of the topics and dates below. All of my classes, especially my US History classes, are inclusive and anti-racist. We will be covering tough subjects and tackling tough topics from the point of view of the people involved, particularly the marginalized groups involved. **If you have taken my year long US History class, these assignments are all different so you can take both the US History and this ongoing class one after the other or at the same time!** Fall Session Topics and Dates: Week of 9/9/24-9/13/24 -- Primary vs Secondary Sources lecture; Pocahontas; Puritans Week of 9/16/24-9/20/24 -- Great Awakening; Shay's Rebellion Week of 9/23/24-9/27/24 -- Boston Massacre Week of 9/30/24-10/4/24 -- American Revolution Week of 10/7/24-10/11/24 -- no class Week of 10/14/24-10/18/24 -- Second Middle Passage Week of 10/21/24-10/25/24 -- Gold Rush in San Francisco Week of 10/28/24-11/1/24 -- Texas Revolution Week of 11/4/24-11/8/24 -- Chinese Immigration and Exclusion Week of 11/11/24-11/15/24 -- Irish in 19th Century America Week of 11/18/24-11/22/24 -- Juana Briones and California in the 1800s Week of 11/25/24-11/29/24 -- no class Week of 12/2/24-12/6/24 -- Reconstruction Week of 12/9/24-12/13/24 -- Albert Parsons Week of 12/16/24-12/20/24 -- Annexation of Hawaii Week of 12/23/24-12/27/24 -- no class Week of 12/30/24-1/3/25 -- no class
學習目標
When students complete this class, they should be able to look at any historic document and "source" it. They will be able to determine who the author is, when the source was written, what the author's bias is and if the source is reliable.
They will also know how to take two accounts of the same story and pull corroborating facts out.
其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
As with any US History course, we will be covering topics like death, war, racism, slavery, and sexism. I will not shy away from these topics, but will help the students understand that though racism, slavery, sexism, etc. are part of the fabric of American History, they are not acceptable by our standards today.
供應清單
Students will be given pdfs each week that contain the in-class work. These pdfs need to be printed or if the student prefers to type answers, pdfs can be pulled up on the computer and students can type directly onto the pdfs.

My Masters degree is in American Studies and I spent a great deal of my graduate studies focusing on the Civil War, Westward Expansion, and the Industrial Revolution. I completed my Master thesis on the Americanization of Christmas.
Since graduating, I have completed many professional development courses through the Gilder Lehrman Institute and the Stanford History Education Group. My most recent courses in the summer of 2022 included American Immigration History, Black Women's History, The Civil War, and The Great Depression and the New Deal.
In addition to my degrees and continuing education, I spend a lot of time researching and reading about various topics in US History such as Westward Expansion, Pennsylvania history, the history of Christmas in America, and more.
I have been teaching both US and World History in person to homeschoolers and on Outschool since 2019.
