***While weekly planners serve as a guide for what standards will be covered week to week and an overview of what content will be covered, if you want to see the daily assignments, due dates, activity links, etc. you must go to student's Google classroom. Weekly plans are subject to change, and quite often do. Daily agendas are posted in Google classroom-Students who are absent should access Google classroom to see what they are responsible for when they miss class.***

Course Description: This course is aligned with the 2019 South Carolina Social Studies College and Career Standards for Modern World History and is designed to assist students in understanding how people and countries of the world have become increasingly interconnected beginning with the time period of 1300 to present. Instruction utilizes the historical thinking skills developed for high school history. These historical thinking skills are aligned with the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate that focuses on world class knowledge, world-class skills, and life and career characteristics. Students will acquire content knowledge through reading and analyzing multiple primary and secondary sources, group discussions, and whole class instruction. They will apply the historical thinking skills to the acquired knowledge, and then design and communicate their interpretation of the past. This process as a whole is known as inquiry. Rather than focusing on the memorization of facts with one correct answer, inquiry differs because students are evaluated on their ability to make a claim and support it with reliable evidence from research.
The aim of this course is for students to have a comprehensive understanding of historical events spanning from the Renaissance to modern times. This course is designed to last one semester, with a final exam covering all major units of study.
Course Goals and Outcomes: The Making of the Modern World is designed to assist students in understanding how people and countries of the world have become increasingly interconnected. In the last six hundred years, population growth, demand for resources, curiosity, and technology have converged to draw the distant corners of the world closer together. Critical thinking is focal to this course, which emphasizes why and how people, ideas, and technology have made an impact on diverse groups of people.
