Profiles from History – Session Two – Stories of Those Who are Worthy of Remembrance – Grades 3 – 5 – Winter 2022 – 10 Weeks

The greatest connection we can have throughout history is the human one.  Together, in Profiles in History, the students and I will take a unique perspective on each historical figure by sharing some of the lesser-known facts that you may not have heard before.  As we learn about each individual, we will focus on the strength of his character.  The goal is to connect with the person – not just the history.

During session two, we will learn about inventors, artists, statesmen and explorers that made a significant difference in the world around them and forever changed the future.  We will begin in the year 1200 and continue through 1890.

During this class, students will also learn beginning IEW WRITING techniques to enhance their learning.  Although not a formal writing class, students will be taught from Units I, II and IV in IEW’s Teaching Writing:  Structure and Style.   This will expose them to taking notes, verbal rehearsals, non-fiction summaries and report writing.  Additionally, students will apply the rules of banned words and be taught some stylistic techniques.

Additionally, there will be a Create like Michelangelo project for those who are a bit more “creative minded” as well as an independent research project.

This class will combine history, reading comprehension, reading activities, writing, geography, timelines and creativity!  I can’t wait to have your child join me in this fabulous adventure meeting people from all different times and places.

Homework is approximately 2 hours weekly.   Activities include pre-reading text, adding to the timeline, adding to the world map and creating a mind map.
