DETAILS
Two unique countries with interesting histories (that intersect with events in U.S. history) don’t often receive significant attention in traditional World History courses. Join us to explore the Choices Program’s curriculum units Brazil: A History of Change and History, Revolution, and Reform: New Directions for Cuba. The session’s emphasis is on both 1) how to use one complete unit (or both) in a Latin American Studies course, as well as 2) how to use parts of the units in Geography, U.S., and World History courses.
Note that this webinar will begin at 4 pm ET.
