One way to learn history is to put yourself in another’s shoes. In this course, you will develop a historical character and experience American history through the eyes and ears of this character. Your character can be any age, race, gender, or ethnicity you like. As we move through the course, you will write about his or her experiences in America and your final project will be based on this character so choose carefully!
