1 High School History Credit

This class runs on the 32-week schedule, which begins the week of August 11th, or is available as an asynchronous class

CLASS DESCRIPTION

The political, social, religious and intellectual experiences of the Greeks and Romans are set in the very roots of the historical development of Europe and the Americas. It is the aim of this course to introduce students to the life of Greece and Rome, their thinkers, statesmen and soldiers, alongside their philosophies, religions and wars. The period this class takes in view extends from the formation of the first Greek city-states to the climax of the Roman Empire. It is recommended but not required that the student who enrolls in this class also consider enrolling in Ancient Literature (Greece and Rome), also taught by Mr. Banks.

At the end of each semester, students will be evaluated based on an essay in which they will describe the significance of the Greek and Roman historical experience and its lasting influence on later stages of western history. They will be expected to demonstrate a knowledge of the key men, women and events of Greece and Rome and careful reading of the texts we have studied together.

Asynchronous Option: Students have access to the streaming videos of the course to watch on their own time plus the LIVE Canvas Discussion forum for a full year. Asynchronous students may also submit a midterm and final and receive a grade for the course. The classes are not discussion based. Many students even prefer the asynchronous option because they can pause and rewind when taking notes. (Live students also have access to the course videos to rewatch for note-taking).
