Many people know the history of colonies and trade in the Americas from the 1600 to the 1700s.
Many people know the history of wars in the 1900s, but what happened in the years in between?

Have you wondered what was happening to the people in  Asia, Europe, and Russia through these years?

How did technology play a role during the 18th and 19th centuries?

I teach using a combination of slides, lectures, and video clips, along with guided note-taking using graphic organizers and analysis of primary and secondary sources to help in sequencing and understanding the causes and effects of this time in history.
. 
 I encourage reflection and personal connections with the history that we learn in class. 

Maps and primary sources are used throughout these lessons to illustrate the geography of the areas/nations that we are discussing. 

Students will be able to create a timeline of the 17th-18th centuries.

 I encourage questions and discussions, as they arise during class. 
Each week's lesson will include review games using Blooklet or Kahoot! to be completed after class.

Learners will answer the essential question, How do empires grow and collapse?
