  • Course Description

Our journey begins by learning from our Native American friends, Vikings, and explorers. Next, we will learn from the hardships of starting a new country. Then we take a tour through the wars that shaped our history. Finally, our discussion and learning will end with the grumblings of the abolition of slavery. Through the use of media, students will end this class with a full grasp of our country’s beginnings (up to 1849). 

 

For the geography component, it is very important that this generation know each state, what each state’s capital is, and where it is located on a map. This part of the class will be interactive with games, videos, songs, and maps! 

  • Classwork / Homework

There will be an end-of-the-year history/geography fair. Students will make a trifold presentation of their favorite part of history (during the course of this class) or state. 

In-class activities include games, music, video, and food. 

Approximate time for homework each week: 30 to 45 minutes a day.
