Information Literacy is foundational to establishing a concrete narrative in history. This first unit sets the groundwork for understanding the nebulous nature of the stories (and fibs!) humans tell about ourselves.
This unit is an overview of History through the lens of Anthropology. Students examine history and cultural evolution as being extensions of human behavior. Factors from the early days of our species influence the shapes of nations and the ideas of people living in the current day.
The diversity of our species is one of the most wonderful things about us. Unit 3 examines how the history of marginalized communities intersects with our increasingly diverse and interconnected world, and how we use the lessons from history to build a more just future.
