(5 points)John Green 6xJohn Green, popularly known as an author, has created an online history resource specifically for YouTube called Crash Course. He covers both World and U.S. History. In this class, you will watch his videos that relate to the week’s topics. You will find that there are often multiple videos for a single week of material. I expect that you will watch them all. John Green presents the current historical debate and scholarship. You will find him a welcome introduction to the formal material of the course. He is entertaining, but he is also academic. Pay attention to both, but take care that you don’t miss the latter! There will be two sets of videos a meta and a micro. The meta videos have a larger scope and question how we pick the topics we study and why we think historically the way we do. Enjoy!Remember, there will occasionally be extra credit assignments attached to these videos. Be prepared to identify how he either supports or contradicts the other course material for formal, graded assignments.All extra credit assignments are optional.Objectives of Extra Credit John Green:This assignment will be graded on the following scale.Proficient Credit: Student answers all the questions to one video and connects John Green’s presentation to the lessons of the week.
