History is filled with fascinating characters. Some Many were as horrible as they were interesting. And though they were horrible they shaped both their worlds and ours. I believe history for kids should pique the curiosity, spark their imaginations, and create a sense of adventure in children (and adults!) about what came before them and how it has shaped their world!

Using the book series Top 10 Worst as a spine we will investigate the worst, most ruthless, and wicked warriors, rulers, and villians. From ancient times to modern day we will learn of many interesting characters throughout history and the times they lived in. Monoliths and disappearing boats. Pirates and politicians. We will meet all kinds of personalities and mythical creatures and the civilizations that created them. 

All materials will be supplied for this class. Projects and light weekly homework will be assigned weekly to help reinforce the lessons at home. As students’ abilities vary please know that family assistance with both reading and writing is encouraged. Reading nor writing in class will be required. Occasionally students will be presenting their projects or research but I am happy to assist. The only requirement will be willingness to participate in class discussions.
