Description
Does your learner think history is just a list of dates and battles? Let them step into the story instead! In this engaging course, learners won’t just study history—they’ll experience it. From simulating the chaos of the Russian Revolution to debating appeasement strategies on the eve of World War II, they’ll step into the shoes of those who lived through history’s most transformative moments.
Through hands-on activities like simulating the growth of an industrial town—seeing firsthand the effects of rapid change—analyzing the Treaty of Versailles as one of the Big Four, and serving as jurors in the Nuremberg Trials, learners will actively engage with history. They'll even predict Hitler’s moves as foreign policy advisors and complete the Peep-Into History: Modern Diorama Project to bring key events to life.
As they navigate the Industrial Revolution, Imperialism, two World Wars, and the rise of ideologies that defined the 20th century, learners will hone critical thinking, collaboration, and decision-making skills. By the end, they’ll not only understand history—they’ll feel empowered by it.
This course is perfect for curious minds ready to explore, create, and challenge their perspectives on the past while building connections to the present.
Policies
REFUND POLICY: I understand the appeal of booking in advance to secure a spot in classes, but I also acknowledge that circumstances may change. If you need to withdraw your learner for any reason up to ten days before the class's start date, I will gladly issue a full refund. Please don't hesitate to contact me in such cases. For inquiries regarding sibling discounts, please reach out for further assistance.
Active Participation: In this class, active participation is key to meaningful engagement and learning. Learners are strongly encouraged to contribute to discussions, share their perspectives, and ask questions. To promote critical thinking and effective in-class interactions, the chat feature should be used sparingly. While quick questions or clarifications are welcome, longer answers or discussions are best reserved for face-to-face interactions during class time.
Punctuality: It’s essential for learners to arrive on time for this class. While late arrivals are welcome to join and participate from the moment they arrive, we won’t be able to restart simulations or catch up on missed activities due to time constraints. To ensure the best experience for everyone, punctuality is strongly encouraged.
