Course Information:

Welcome to the fascinating world of Global History. This two-year course is designed to develop students into historians, critical thinkers, and skilled writers. We will approach history from multiple perspectives, engaging in rigorous analysis of primary and secondary sources, class discussions, and a considerable amount of writing, through which you will be able to develop your own conclusions about each topic. In Global I, students will study the Mongol Empire, West African Trading Empires, the Islamic Empire, Native American Civilizations, the Crusades, Exploration, and the “Encounter,” the Transatlantic Slave Trade, Enlightenment, and the French and Latin American Revolutions. At the end of your second year (10th Grade), you will be taking the Regents exam in Global History & Geography.
