Grade 9 World History Course Outline (1.0 Credit) |
|
World History is a required course for sophomores concerning the nations and peoples of the world. Included with the history and geography are cultural development, political and economic systems and social structures. The student will be challenged to think critically about international relations, human commonalities and differences and their impact on the student’s own life. |
|
We will begin this course with an introduction into history, geography, and a little bit of anthropology to give you a framework for understanding the course as a whole. We will then begin with the four primary ancient civilizations and work our way through present day. This course is designed to give you an over view of what we know about World History and encourage you to think critically about the development of history as it relates to our present day cultures and situations. Think of this course as the greatest epic ever written — one long story about the development, impact, and innovations of humans. |
