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.

Embark on a comprehensive full-year history curriculum that spans the transformative events that have shaped contemporary society. We'll start by delving into the Industrial Revolution, investigating how technological advancements and industrialization revolutionized manufacturing and altered social and economic structures worldwide.

*************************************************************************************************
-In this class, active participation plays a crucial role in fostering meaningful engagement and learning. Learners are strongly encouraged to actively contribute to discussions, share their perspectives, and ask questions. Additionally, to promote critical thinking and facilitate in-class interactions, it's important to use the chat feature sparingly. While the chat is suitable for quick questions or clarifications, lengthy answers or discussions are best reserved for our face-to-face interactions.

-It is crucial for learners to be punctual and arrive on time for this class. While late arrivals will be allowed to join and participate from the moment they arrive, it is important to note that due to time constraints, we will not be able to restart simulations or catch up on activities for latecomers. To ensure the smooth progression of the class and maximize the learning experience for all participants, punctuality is strongly encouraged.
*************************************************************************************************

The course will then guide learners through the complex causes, major battles, political dynamics, and profound human consequences of the First and Second World Wars, emphasizing their role in redrawing national boundaries and reshaping global power structures.

Further, learners will delve into the geopolitical tension of the Cold War, analyzing the ideological battle between capitalism and communism, the proxy wars, nuclear arms race, and the struggle for spheres of influence that characterized much of the 20th century.

Finally, the class will examine the multifaceted effects of globalization in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, from the interconnectedness of economies and the digital revolution to the cultural exchanges and the challenges and opportunities of global interdependence. Through this comprehensive study, learners will gain an understanding of how these pivotal developments have led to the modern and contemporary world we live in today.

***This class is designed for active participation and suits learners who are enthusiastic about discussions, simulations, and assorted hands-on activities.  Learners are encouraged to actively participate in all activities, projects, and discussions, as these experiences foster critical thinking, promote knowledge acquisition, and cultivate effective communication skills.  Full engagement in the class necessitates that learners arrive with the necessary materials, either in digital or printed form.***

Each week, learners will find all required materials 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. Although I aim to provide enough in-class time for activities, given time limits, several brief assignments will require independent completion. Understanding our learners' busy lives, I provide ample time, at least one week, for the completion of each task and extended notice for projects.

Participants may join the course at any time, as we will offer a quick summary of relevant information from previous sessions to ensure all learner understanding.

**PEEPS Diorama Project:
For this unique project, learners will undertake the PEEPS Diorama Project. A diorama, defined as a life-size, three-dimensional scene from nature or history, will be recreated on a PEEP scale for this project. Learners will select an event from the modern era that they have studied and utilize the resources provided in class to gather ideas for their project. I will be available to provide guidance, suggestions, and help students refine their ideas. Once students have gained teacher and/or adult approval for their chosen event, they will proceed to construct a diorama representing the selected event.  This project offers a unique opportunity for students to engage with history in a creative and hands-on manner, and I look forward to witnessing their imaginative interpretations come to life.

**Cold War Conspiracy Theory Project**
This captivating project will surely engage learners as they delve into the intriguing realm of Cold War era conspiracy theories.  After choosing from a list of teacher and/or parent approved era-relevant conspiracy theories, learners will assume the roles of researchers and historians, driven by the quest for uncovering the truth behind these mysteries. The project provides a comprehensive framework that guides learners through each step of the process, enabling them to acquire essential skills along the way.

As part of the project, learners will develop a solid foundation by learning key definitions and concepts related to conspiracy theories. They will be introduced to the significance of primary and secondary sources and gain the ability to discern the credibility of different sources. Furthermore, learners will practice effective note-taking techniques and brainstorming strategies to enhance their research process.

With this knowledge and skill set in place, learners will embark on an exploration of their chosen historical conspiracy theory. They will gather evidence from a variety of sources, meticulously evaluating and analyzing the information at hand. The project encourages students to form evidence-based conclusions, ensuring that their perspectives are grounded in sound reasoning.

Finally, learners will culminate their efforts by crafting a logical and organized presentation that showcases their diligent work. Their persuasive poster or digital presentation should aim to prove or disprove to their classmates of the truth behind the theory they have selected or been assigned. It will reflect the culmination of their research, critical thinking, and analytical skills, ultimately leaving a lasting impact on their peers.

Please note: The specific requirements and guidelines for both projects will be provided in class.
*************************************************************************************************

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  

By following this chronological order, learners can gradually build upon their knowledge and develop a well-rounded understanding of the subject matter. They can trace the evolution of ideas, events, and societies over time, which fosters a more coherent and interconnected understanding of the subject.

However, I understand that individual circumstances and preferences may influence the order in which courses are taken. Ultimately, it is important to choose the sequencing that aligns best with your learning goals and interests.

***Note on Teaching Style and Learner Participation:
This class thrives on active student interaction and participation. The teaching methods, including simulations and critical thinking activities, are designed to engage and inspire. However, the success of these interactive sessions largely depends on learner involvement. Should active participation prove challenging, we may transition to a lecture format to ensure all essential material is thoroughly covered. I encourage all learners to join in, share their thoughts, and contribute to a dynamic learning environment, making the educational journey enriching for everyone.

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.
