After teaching Hands-on History to homeschoolers for the past five years, Claire and Rebekah are thrilled to bring this course to the high school level and reconnect with many of their former students.
Rather than relying on lectures and dry textbooks, this World History course will emphasize Socratic discussions, multimedia projects, and student-led presentations. Spanning from the creation of the world to modern times, students will explore major historical themes and wrestle with thought-provoking questions, such as:
After studying the history of Jews in ancient society, how does that apply to them being God’s chosen people today?
Did the Protestant Reformation bring much-needed changes, or did it cause unneeded division and suffering? Or both?
What people groups suffered extensively during World War II, who caused that suffering, and how should they have been held accountable?
Students will often conduct their own research at home and bring their findings to class for discussion. The goal is to foster lively, engaging conversations that encourage empathy,
