I teach history in a steady progression from the past to the present. We work extensively on understanding reasons and motivations for why people have done what they have done. The goal is to better understand our present world and why people today do what they do. We also delve heavily into understanding time and timelines. We have frequent side lessons into Geography and understanding the countries of the world as they are presently constituted.Each semester in History, we have a major project. They are designed to be fun and informative. All that is required is a good attitude and full participation.
