In our last blog post, we shared some thoughts about the importance of memorization in learning history. This week we want to show you a little bit more about how our live and recorded classes work and specifically how testing works. Tests don’t have to be scary! In fact, they can be a fun and engaging way to support students in learning the material and learning about themselves as learners, too.
Watch the video for your child’s level below to get all the details about how testing works. You can also see samples of class notes, timelines, and test questions for each level in this PDF.
Scott Powell is a historian and teacher who has been teaching homeschooled students online for nearly 20 years (as “History at Our House”). He is the author of three books including “The 4-Hour Historian”, “The History of Now”, and the upcoming “The History of Tomorrow”. His present-centric approach was developed from the conviction that history is an essential subject that is vital for anyone who wants to live a fully engaged life and make sense of the world they live in.
