Overview: Students study world history from approximately 1700 to the present by researching guiding questions such as, “What are the connections between industrialization and imperialism?” and “What does it mean to be modern?” Additional supporting questions appear under each topic. The questions are included to stimulate teachers’ and students’ own questions for discussion and research.
To begin the year, please explore the resources for an Identity and Community unit helping classrooms explore the question "What is the identity of my community, and how do I fit into it?".
