History plays an important part in everyone's life. It is not just a list of names and dates; it is a personal account of real people and their contributions to our past. It is a chance to learn from the mistakes and victories of our ancestors, a chance to see the way God has worked throughout our country's development, and a chance to grow our knowledge as we head into the future. Are you ready to embark on a journey through our nation's past?
Each week I will post an overview of what we covered in class and what is due the following week. I might also throw in bonus material that will aide you in learning about a subject we are studying. You can check here if you were absent to see what we covered, or if you need a reminder about what is due. I will also try to include pictures of our time together as a reminder of your time spent together learning about history. Consider it a mini yearbook and weekly planner.
My favorite way to learn is through reading and discussion, so expect a lot of discussing! I want you to come ready to discuss the lessons we read, to offer your insights, and to learn from your peers. All discussion will be done respectfully and with the intent to dissect the text and learn from it. Feel free to research additional information about the people or events we learn about to share with the class.
We will work on a timeline of American history and 2 projects this year. Don't worry; I will give you plenty of time. This will be a chance to do hands on learning. Trust me, it will be fun! Most of all, come to class with ears that want to hear, eyes that want to see, and minds that want to learn. I am excited to walk through American history with you!
