World History
This World History course will address six (6) periods of study of World History, differentiating between primary and secondary sources, with a key focus of study from the mid-15th century to the present. The standards of this course are grouped in a way that reflects accepted periodization by historians. The learning standards of this course have been written to focus around a basic core of chronologically-organized periods and events in history in order to have a set of learning standards that can be reasonably taught and learned with some depth and not just memorization of facts, within the time available for classroom instruction. However, local districts and teachers are encouraged to elaborate on what is included in the below standards, to add topics that they feel are important, and to organize material into Concept-based Units of study.
Materials you will need for this semester include:
1"-1 1/2" binder with paper; pencils, pen
Optional: colored pencils, markers, scissors, and glue
