Join us in dancing our way through the decades from 1910 to the present era as we explore U.S. history and humanities in a fun and engaging manner!
Dabbling in classic literature, primary source documents, the U.S. Constitution, music, art and foods of the eras, students will engage in hands-on, fun and inspiring educational activities.
The object of Heroes of Liberty is to empower students to become heroes of liberty in both their private and public lives. In a "Trivial Pursuit" kind of way, students will have fun completing activities each Era Unit in the areas of:
-
Literature
-
History
-
Science
-
Sports + Entertainment
-
Art + Fashion + Food
-
World Geography
Educational modalities used during class will include: book discussions, document studies, guest speakers, cooking, student presentations, Minecraft, service projects, art and science projects, physical fitness challenges and more!
Students will complete a final project which will culminate in a Nobel Prize in their chosen area of discipline.
​
Students may also go “over and beyond” by completing additional tasks which could earn them a Grammy Award! (This portion of the class will be based on the lyrics from Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire".)
