Teaching Teens and Tweens US History: Slavery, Abolitionism, and the Road to the Civil War
As I was preparing to homeschool my teens for the first time, I asked my kids which social studies topics were the most interesting to them. My daughter told me she wanted to learn about the Civil Rights movement and slavery. Race relations has always been one of my favorite things to learn about, and that curiosity led me to major in sociology in college. So I set out to plan how to teach my teens about the history of slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Civil Rights Movement.

It can be very hard for parents to figure out how to intelligently present their teens and tweens with information about politics, civics, and voting. Like usual, I've been spending tons of time researching this, and I'm here with some suggestions! Whether you are homeschooling your teens or you just want to have some intelligent family conversations, I've got your back. As I see it, … [Read more...]
