每週上課 1 小時作業
每週 1 小時. Weekly materials will be posted in the classroom, with most being digital-friendly and a select few requiring printing. For those who prefer not to print, PDFs will be available to view on your device. Brief, independent assignments will often extend outside classroom time due to our packed agenda. Every learner will get at least one week to complete assignments and will receive advanced notice for larger projects. Homework, necessary for a deeper understanding, will be light—expect about 30 to 60 minutes per week. It's important to note that learners have varying speeds and styles of learning, and this may reflect in the time taken to complete tasks. Completing these assignments diligently on one's own time will not only reinforce the material discussed in class but will also prepare learners for more engaging and productive class experience. For digital worksheets, please refer to the 'Materials' section, which contains a list of third-party websites where they can be accessed.評估
Upon request and prior to the start of the course, assessments can be conducted throughout the course to evaluate learner progress and understanding. These assessments may include quizzes, tests, projects, feedback and/or other forms of evaluation (i.e. letter grade). Parents and learners are encouraged to discuss their grading preferences with the teacher. The purpose of assessments and grades is to provide feedback on student learning and measure their achievement. It is important for learners to actively participate in assessments and seek feedback to gauge their progress and areas of improvement. Furthermore, a detailed rubric will be provided specifically for the project. This rubric will serve as a guideline to assess and evaluate the quality and creativity of the learners' project. It will outline the criteria and expectations, ensuring transparency and fairness in the assessment process. Learners will have a clear understanding of the criteria by which their projects will be evaluated, allowing them to strive for excellence in their projects.等級
Upon request learners can opt to receive grades and/or feedback. In the absence of a specific request for grades, only feedback will be provided.進度報告

Step Into Ancient History—No Boring Lectures, Just Adventure! Does your learner think ancient history is boring? This course is here to change that! Or do they already love the past? Then they’re in for an unforgettable journey. In this self-paced, immersive course, learners won’t just study history—they’ll live it! From the earliest civilizations to the rise of empires, students will take on the roles of tribal leaders, pharaohs, warriors, and rulers as they navigate the challenges of the past. They’ll lead a tribe through survival struggles, rule Egypt’s Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms, explore Minoan and Mycenaean ruins, and judge Chinese rulers through the Mandate of Heaven. As history unfolds, learners will step into the Classical world, taking on roles such as Athenian citizens, Spartan warriors, Alexander the Great, and Roman senators, uncovering how these civilizations shaped governance, culture, and trade. 🔹 Engage in hands-on simulations and challenges—fight alongside Greek city-states, govern as a Roman emperor, and forge trade routes across Asia. 🔹 Get creative with two exciting projects: -Design an Ancient Civilizations Theme Park, bringing history to life through rides, attractions, and restaurants inspired by Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and more. -Construct a Zombie Apocalypse Civilization, using the best innovations from classical societies to survive a post-apocalyptic world. 🔹 See history come alive—not through memorization, but through problem-solving, strategy, and interactive learning. By the end, learners won’t just know history—they’ll experience it, connect it to the modern world, and maybe even love it! ************************************************************ *Heads-Up: This Class is NOT a Spectator Sport! This isn’t your typical sit-back-and-zone-out history class—your learner is part of the action! Whether we’re diving into simulations, debates, or critical-thinking challenges, their participation is what makes this class engaging, exciting, and, well… not just another lecture! That said, if participation turns into radio silence, we’ll have to shift into a lecture-style format to ensure all key material is covered. But let’s be real—that’s way less fun. So, encourage your learner to jump in, share their thoughts, make decisions, and engage! The more they put into this experience, the more they'll get out of it (and the less likely we are to drift into Lecture Land). **Another Heads-Up: Punctuality Matters! This class runs on engagement and interaction, so arriving on time is key! While late arrivals are always welcome to jump in, we won’t be able to restart simulations or backtrack on missed activities—there’s just too much to cover. To get the most out of the experience (and avoid feeling lost mid-simulation), being on time is strongly encouraged. Help your learner hit the ground running from the start—it makes for a smoother, more immersive class for everyone! ***Be Prepared & Ready to Dive In! Each week, all required materials will be posted in the classroom—most are digital-friendly, with a few that may need printing. If printing isn’t your thing, no worries! PDFs can be easily viewed on your device. Bringing materials to class ensures a smooth, engaging experience—so have everything ready, and let’s make history come alive! *********************************************************** *********2025 Wednesdays (12:15 PM Central) Tentative Schedule********* Classical World Feb 5: Alexander of Macedon & Persian Empire: Governance & Achievements *Feb 12: No Class Feb 19: Rome: Founding & Early Roman Republic Feb 26: Rome: Republic to Empire Mar 5: Rome: Victory, Vengeance & Peace Mar 12: Rome: Collapse & Legacy Mar 19: Islamic Civilizations: Origins & Early Caliphates Mar 26: Qin & Han China: Dynasties & the Silk Road April 2: Qin & Han China: Achievements, Defense & Trade April 9: Mauryan India: Origins & Impact April 16: India: Ashoka's Legacy & Gupta Golden Age April 23: Zombie Apocalypse Project Planning & Design April 30: Submission & Presentation Zombie Apocalypse Project** *********2025 Thursdays (12:30pm Central) Tentative Schedule********* Classical World Feb 6: Alexander of Macedon & Persian Empire: Governance & Achievements *Feb 13: No Class Feb 20: Rome: Founding & Early Roman Republic Feb 27: Rome: Republic to Empire Mar 6: Rome: Victory, Vengeance & Peace Mar 13: Rome: Collapse & Legacy Mar 20: Islamic Civilizations: Origins & Early Caliphates Mar 27: Qin & Han China: Dynasties & the Silk Road April 3: Qin & Han China: Achievements, Defense & Trade April 17: Mauryan India: Origins & Impact April 24: India: Ashoka's Legacy & Gupta Golden Age May 1: Zombie Apocalypse Project Planning & Design May 8: Submission & Presentation Zombie Apocalypse Project** *********Fall 2025 Wednesdays (9:45 AM Central) Tentative Schedule********* Prehistory & Ancient Civilizations Aug 20: Paleolithic Societies: Early Humans Aug 27: Neolithic Societies: Tribes to Villages Sept 3: Villages to City-States Sept 10: Mesopotamian Civilizations: City-States to Civilizations Sept 17: Ancient Egypt: Nile River & Geography Sept 24: Ancient Egypt: Kingdoms & Mythology Oct 1: Ancient Egypt, Nubia & Kush Oct 8: Indus Valley Civilizations & Geography Oct 15: Indus Valley Civilizations: Harappan & Mohenjo-Daro Oct 22: Ancient China & Geography Oct 29: Ancient China Nov 5: Mediterranean Civilizations: Ancient Phoenicia & Israel Nov 12: Aegean Civilizations: Minoans & Mycenaeans Nov 19: Ancient Civilizations Theme Park Project *Nov 26: No Class Classical World Dec 3: Ancient Greece: Dark Ages to Democracy & Geography Dec 10: Classical Greece: Greco-Persian Wars & Greek Mythology * Jan 7: Greece: Greco-Persian & Peloponnesian Wars Jan 14 : Greece: Alexander of Macedon & Greek Achievements *Jan 21: No Class Jan 28: Alexander of Macedon & Persian Empire: Governance & Achievements Feb 4: Rome: Founding & Early Roman Republic Feb 11: Rome: Republic to Empire Feb 18: Rome: Victory, Vengeance & Peace Feb 25: Rome: Collapse & Legacy Mar 4: Islamic Civilizations: Origins & Early Caliphates Mar 11: Qin & Han China: Dynasties & the Silk Road Mar 18: Qin & Han China: Achievements, Defense & Trade Mar 25: Mauryan India: Origins & Impact April 1: India: Ashoka's Legacy & Gupta Golden Age April 8: Zombie Apocalypse Project Planning & Design April 15: Submission & Presentation Zombie Apocalypse Project** *********Fall 2025 Tuesdays (3:15 PM Central) Tentative Schedule********* Prehistory & Ancient Civilizations Sept 2: Paleolithic Societies: Early Humans Sept 9: Neolithic Societies: Tribes to Villages Sept 16: Villages to City-States Sept 23: Mesopotamian Civilizations: City-States to Civilizations Sept 30: Ancient Egypt: Nile River & Geography Oct 7: Ancient Egypt: Kingdoms & Mythology Oct 14: Ancient Egypt, Nubia & Kush Oct 21: Indus Valley Civilizations & Geography Oct 28: Indus Valley Civilizations: Harappan & Mohenjo-Daro Nov 4: Ancient China & Geography Nov 11: Ancient China Nov 18: Mediterranean Civilizations: Ancient Phoenicia & Israel *Nov 25: No Class Dec 2: Aegean Civilizations: Minoans & Mycenaeans Dec 9: Ancient Civilizations Theme Park Project** Classical World Jan 6: Ancient Greece: Dark Ages to Democracy & Geography Jan 13: Classical Greece: Greco-Persian Wars & Greek Mythology *Jan 20: No Class Jan 27: Greece: Greco-Persian & Peloponnesian Wars Feb 3: Greece: Alexander of Macedon & Greek Achievements Feb 10: Alexander of Macedon & Persian Empire: Governance & Achievements Feb 17: Rome: Founding & Early Roman Republic Feb 24: Rome: Republic to Empire Mar 3: Rome: Victory, Vengeance & Peace Mar 10: Rome: Collapse & Legacy Mar 17: Islamic Civilizations: Origins & Early Caliphates Mar 24: Qin & Han China: Dynasties & the Silk Road Mar 31: Qin & Han China: Achievements, Defense & Trade April 7: Mauryan India: Origins & Impact April 14: India: Ashoka's Legacy & Gupta Golden Age April 21: Zombie Apocalypse Project Planning & Design April 28: Submission & Presentation Zombie Apocalypse Project** ************************************************************* Want a Self-Paced Class Option? This course is also offered as two self-paced classes!

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: 📜 World History: Ancient & Classical Civilizations 🏛 ⚔️ World History: Medieval & Early Modern Era 🎨 🌍 World History: Modern Era, Cold War & Beyond 🛰️ Following this order helps learners see the evolution of ideas, societies, and historical events over time, creating a cohesive and engaging learning experience. That said, you’re free to start wherever fits your interests and learning goals—history should be flexible and fun!

其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
The study of world history encompasses a wide range of topics, including some sensitive subjects from the past such as war, slavery, racism, religion, and genocide. In this course, it is important to approach these topics with sensitivity and respect.
Religion will be discussed solely in its historical context, focusing on its influence on societies and events throughout history. The aim is to provide learners with an understanding of how religion shaped various civilizations without promoting any particular religious beliefs.
To foster a comprehensive understanding, learners will be exposed to multiple perspectives through the use of peer-reviewed and scholarly sources. Critical and reflective thinking will be encouraged, allowing students to analyze historical events, conflicts, security issues, religious influences, and economic factors from different angles.
Discussions in the classroom will be closely moderated, ensuring a balanced and unbiased approach. The teacher will facilitate discussions, encourage participation, and monitor the conversations to maintain a secular standpoint that respects all viewpoints.
When relevant, viewpoints from marginalized groups will be explored, providing a broader understanding of history from different social, cultural, and ethnic perspectives. This approach promotes inclusivity and helps learners develop empathy and a deeper appreciation for diverse experiences.
Great care will be taken to present the content in an age-appropriate manner, ensuring that the material is accessible, respectful, and suitable for the maturity level of the learners.
