Naval History...
Okay, I know what you're thinking:
"WDYM BY NAVAL HISTORY OR SOMETHING?!"
Explanation/What is it?
Naval History is what HS refers to as history of naval battles and the history of ships (Yes, Pearl Harbor Bombing is one if you were thinking about it.) It's also to preserve naval history. It is actually a class that is taught in the Navy as well (known as American Naval History). Here, we'll go over American Naval History as well with some hints of other WW1/2 Countries. Is it even history? It is a study of past events, particularly in human affairs and foreign affairs.
Where is it taught?
SOME High Schools offer it as a exemplary course for History, similar if your registering up for a class like the Salem Witch Trials or Medieval History. After the 2020, (due to covid-19), Most history courses were basically wiped on the floor and forgotten. Except the two Major, Medieval, and Roman. Most high schools that do teach it are states that border the capital or a nearby port (usually this is the class that let's you visit harbors/ports for naval ship history lol)
Benefits:
- If you need a extra History credit to graduate and think everything else is too hard and your school offers this class, EASY CREDITS (usually high schools will offer it at 0.5-1.5 credits depending on GT/AP/HN.)
- If your taking it right now, congrats, we'll probably go faster then your class and you get to work on the projects, then just copy that project into your project you are going to do for school.
- I will offer a completion of this course with a little certificate. It doesn't really mean anything except if you want, just to staple it onto your record or transcript that you took this course outside of school and did it for fun or something, you never know if it increases your chances of going into a college (Naval related studies definitely it will increase your chances.)
- It's a fun class. Pretty interactive, one of the units you get to research about a ship (choice), and you can make a video, slides, even a game about it, "as long as you understand the main points about it"
