Written By Peter Friedman

Advanced topics in US History ONLINE HIGH SCHOOL COURSE

COURSE LENGTH:

Full Year (30 Sessions)

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This is an advanced level full-year course (30 synchronous sessions) designed for students who have established background knowledge in U.S. history. The course is structured thematically rather than chronologically, moving at a fast pace through six modules that each cover an essential topic across the scope of American history. This design challenges students to understand how themes like colonialism, race, rights, expansion, and capitalism have constantly shaped U.S. history, but have also changed in different eras. Each module will culminate with a final written or oral assessment asking students to synthesize the unit’s topic across a long scope of history.

Learning OBJECTIVES:

  • Build on and reinforce a base of prior U.S. History knowledge through a focus on advanced topics

  • Understand how certain historical themes persist and change over the entirety of U.S. history

  • Develop analytical thinking skills through culminating projects for each unit

  • Carefully consider which conflicts and tensions have shaped U.S. history at different points
