Class full and closed!
HISTORY-Fridays 11-noon
Influential Moments in History
We will study documents, battles, people and events that changed history from classical Greece to the modern era. While not intended to be comprehensive in scope, this course will give the students exposure and experience to major events that have impacted the world. Not only will we examine the content and impact of the subjects, but we will also learn skills to help with historical analysis and interpretation.
We will have a four week rotation:
Week 1: Chapter of "7 Tipping Points"
Week 2: Document analysis* from 100 Documents that Changed the World: from the Magna Carta to Wikileaks
Week 3: Battles from Battles that Changed History*
Week 4: People that changed History (examples)* (online references)
Cost: Price of books and $15/student for Fall and $20 for Spring.
First week content will be more specific. The other three weeks will have options for them to choose from, within a context of time or place.
We will learn document analysis, strategy, T-chart comparisons, historical essay writing, etc.
And we will have fun with games and immersion experiences. Super excited!
