Well, basically. I really remember stuff from that class, because it was really, really fun, engaging,and it also was the BEST teaching.<br /><br />We re-enacted the Salem witch trials, we had a unit on ancient Greece that involved a forum, temple building, and olympics, we learned about ancient Japan and had a war game involving a map, pushpin armies, and rice patty allocations. We also re-enacted the civil war, and had a "civil war day" one Saturday complete with uniforms and battle.<br /><br />What made it even better was how he collaborated with the English teacher, so we read and wrote in English class about those time periods, too. It's been quite a while since I took those classes, but I remember a ton, and I learned much more that year than any other year. <br /><br />Good luck!Adelheidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060830700662185246noreply@blogger.com
