This course will focus primarily on topics from American History: Pre-Colonial up to World War Two. We will focus on inductive methods of inquiry and small group interaction/discussion. Upon class completion, Student will be able to connect current events with the timeline of history instructed during this course. This course is designed to venture a touch from the conventional box, utilize media, promote independent research, and cultivate one's one area of interest whilst developing a passion for history. This course will also cover the basics of American history. It is both my aim and the College's to meet every student where they are at and to motivate the intrinsic desire for further learning no matter the field of study one has chosen. History has many lessons, American history and this particular period of study, will be a survey course that covers much in an 8 week session. Student discussion will drive the interest to the topics and issues relevant and exciting covering both the good and the bad but perhaps even the ugly.

My responsibilities included covering all 9th grade sections (3) and 10th grade (3) of World Geography and World History M-F. In addition to the exposure of a very different culture, I began to learn the educational differences necessary to teaching one in a different culture- in English. However, I became conversationally competent by the end of my time there. Curriculum guides were sparse in my department so a re-writing of grade level and course content expectations had to be revisited and extensively edited. While I aided the process of saving plans from year to year, it had far to go beyond my stint there. Other responsibilities included class advisorship, fundraising, and organizing a Geography World's Fair that the entire school- pre K through Senior level took part in attending.
