World History I (H)

Welcome to World History I: Honors!

The World History I course is truly a global course. Throughout the year, we will study civilizations from across the world, including Europe, North & Sub-Saharan Africa, China, Japan, and the Americas. In addition to learning historical content, this course will also help you develop critical thinking, reading, and writing skills that will prepare you for future classes and life beyond DS. Throughout the year, I also hope to help you build organization and time-management skills you can take with you after you leave my classroom.

As we traverse the globe, we will also be considering key questions:

• What components make up a "great" civilization?
• Why do empires rise and fall?
• What are the qualities of successful leaders and governments?
• What are common structures of major belief systems and religions?

Below you can find the orientation sheet for this course. As we move throughout the year, you will also find individual syllabi for each unit of study.
