In this class we study American History beginning with WWI and concluding with an introduction to the Cold War. Specific units of study include the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, and WWII. We also have a unit on the U.S. Constitution in which students are required to pass a Constitution test for promotion to 9th Grade. Students in this class learn through classroom activities, discussion, group interaction, and individual and team projects. For more information please click on the class syllabus tab above.
My teaching philosophy is centered on making history as real as possible to the student through viewing actual events, art, literature, technology, and the music of the times. Further, I believe optimal learning occurs only if the student is an active participant. Therefore my lessons are crafted to engage students in discussion, research, application, and assessment.
