World History: 1945 - 2001

Today, all humans, whether they are Europeans, Australian Aborigines, or Africans, belong to the same subgroup of human beings, Homo Sapiens Sapiens, or wise, wise humans. We have more in common with our ancestors and each other than we often admit, and we have survived thousands of years because of our ability to adapt and progress. This is the final semester of a 6-semester curriculum, but students can join at any time. The material covered for the sixth semester will be from 1945-2001, and will include the Korean War, the Cold War, Social Upheaval in the 1960s and the Vietnam War, the breakup of the Soviet Eastern Bloc, the birth of the Internet, and much more. We will be covering a lot of material in a short amount of time, so students will be expected to pay keen attention in class, take notes, and do a fair amount of homework, including weekly quizzes and a PowerPoint presentation. Students will not only learn the important events in history, but also learn how the information fits together in terms of human development, time periods, and regions of the world. We will make a timeline so that we can better understand how different societies developed over the course of history with similar stories. The curriculum will be based on the fifth unit of the Glencoe World History book.

This class is not a repeat of Fall 2021 but rather, a continuation. New students are welcome!

Grades  6 - 12

People often tell me that they cannot draw. My answer is always the same: “Everybody can draw. You first need to learn how to see.” When you learn to play an instrument, you learn to identify the sound of the notes and you should practice often to become good. That is the same with drawing. We study the science of drawing (perspective and lighting), mixed in with doodling techniques, and other topics the students express interest in. Each student will be need a sketchbook and will be expected to draw in it regularly outside of class.

Materials needed:

  • Sketchbook (minimum size 8”x10”
  • Pencils (B, 2B, 4B)
  • Erasers (kneaded and others)
  • Rulers
  • Colored Pencils and/or Markers are optional.

Tabletop role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons are a huge part of popular culture, with many famous writers, artists, filmmakers, actors, musicians and video game creators developing their creativity through D&D.

In this class, students will learn about the history of pen-and-paper (aka tabletop) role-playing games, play a few, and, finally, each student will design their own with one requirement: to make it educational about any topic they want. The lessons include world building, narrative design, character design, game mechanics and randomization, research and inspiration, plus business skills such as copyright, publishing and marketing.

These classes exercise and build many Common Core proficiencies while having fun making something that can be played by friends and family. Students Totally unfamiliar with role-playing games are very welcome, and previous RPG students are encouraged to enroll again and build off previous work LARP (Live action role-playing designs are also welcome).
