World War I & World War II History (SPRING TERM ONLY)
Maximum Enrollment: 15 Minimum Enrollment: 6 Credit: .5 Both WWI and WWII are fairly new historical topics of study for historians. With more documentation coming to light, historians can better piece together what happened and why. This class will cover why the wars were fought, major battles, the advancement of warfare technology, geography, alliance systems, cultural impact, music, art, and how those left at home coped through the wars. Students will have two projects assigned to them throughout the semester. WWI/WWII is offered at the same time block in the Spring as Atlantic History in the Fall. They DO NOT need to be taken together, but that option is available. This class is open to mature 8th graders and all high schoolers. WWI/WWII is NOT a required Georgia history course but can be used as an elective course on your transcript. Furthermore, for students hoping to study History, Political Science, Government, or Economics at the college level, this class will provide a basis for further study. This course will enhance both your student’s understanding of both American and European histories and present well on a transcript. Students will be enrolled in Canvas and will submit their work through Canvas. Most colleges and universities now use Canvas or something equivalent to it, and it is essential that high schoolers be prepared for this experience. There is no fee associated with this enrollment. Grades and all work will still be available on Gradebook, and Canvas DOES NOT replace Gradebook. The text and summer readings will be announced in the late Spring. Tuition: Tuition is due on the first day of the Spring semester and is $360. An additional $50.00 materials fee is due on the first day of the Spring semester. Questions?
