Read All About It! American History Brought to Life (Waynedale 9:00 AM) 5th-8th $200

Year long ($50 enrollment fee) 16

We will learn about American history through the pages of stories brought to life as well as many other interactive activities!

Has your student ever wondered what it would be like to sail on the Mayflower or Titanic? Or to live through a Civil War? What about the effects of the Industrial Revolution? We will cover all these events and more in many exciting ways. We hope to expand our understanding of these events by learning about them through many different perspectives and points of view.

This class will cover important time periods in American history using literature to support our learning and understanding. Much of the reading will be optional outside of class, but will help students make deeper connections to the periods of history that we will cover. In class they can expect to participate in games, simulations, presentations, videos, and other interactive opportunities that will help them feel a part of the historical events.

Most of our learning will be done together in class, but students can expect to have optional reading that we will highly encourage. We will also ask them to participate in short presentations that will be assigned monthly to further their understanding of each time period in American history. We think this class will have a wide appeal to many students and all should find parts of history that they can connect with or that surprises them.
