This is probably best presented around 8th to 9th grade students
K through 8th should be focused on local history and local culture. Take the kids on field trips to explore the local society.
Local history should be about, why the town was founded. Who founded it. What principals was the town founded on. What historical events caused the town to grow. What industries are currently popular in the town. What cultural events still take place in the town.
Or from 6th grade on. Present 1 hour at the beginning of the week and for the reset of the week, discuss, debate, and explore what was watched on monday.
Allow the kids to pursue the content on their own. Check in and see how they are making progress. “Tell me about what you watched”
Remember, there are no grades or tests. They only need an overall understanding. The goal is to present the world to them so they understand how broad and wide and diverse the world truly is.
As you watch the below, take notes on the things that stand out to you. And explain what you take away from all of this.
What's the over arching theme or lessons to be learned
The earth
-
dinosaurs
-
Overview of history (this is a good over view, but probably better broken up and used as an intro to each of the specific topics or filler for topics that are not covered, basically it's too long as a stand alone.)
-
Eastern Philosophy
Shinto
-
Budism/hindu
-
Rome (While it's a good start to finish history, she focuses too much on “immigration” claiming that conquering another nation and granting them citizenship is somehow “immigration” and claiming that they “built a wall” as to why Rome fell. She's just pushing the political nonsense of the current day politics. Rome fell, by her own description that they grew too big and sub divided the nation where the sub rulers over threw the control of Rome. Also, this video can stand to be broken up into 3 parts)
-
Medicine
-
an overview of germs virus and bateria
a summary of the tuberculosis experiment
Some ok info with some fauci nonsense, it's the second part of the first one
-
World War 2
Good overview of WW2, part 1 and 2. Part 3 is missing
-
-
Here's another one to fill in the end of the war
-
Vietnam
While this video gives interesting context, the news reporter lies towards the end then states that they are unsure of what happened contradicting his lie.
-
The whole war, no simple summary, this is just an air assaults' conversation. While it covers the war from beginning to end it just of air assault. The closer to the present the more random and specific they cover events.
-
Information Age
-
Free Speech
-
possible follow up topics, they are political
good insight into big pharma, but then the praise the people that made the covid vaccine and not highlight any of the failures they made.
good brief summary of the different types of governments, while making a stupid statement about climate change at the end.
He's directly arguing for libertarianism, as to presenting a more balanced argument
This talks about lobbying and how it's bad, but then does a segment on why pot/weed should be legal. This is a bad topic for students.
