This course is brand new pilot course which will be offered at all schools across the province next year. This course replaces Canadian History 1201 and Canadian Geography 1202. As this is a new course, bear with me in terms of requesting advance material etc. The following are a list of course outcomes and the value of each with the approximate time frame for those. There are four units in total with approximately the first two being taught before Christmas and the last after Christmas break. I will endeavor to keep the page as up to date as possible.
Our hard copy textbook will be available in the next few weeks; however, you can find an online copy here: https://sites.google.com/a/polkschools.org/will-pack/assignments/world-history-online-textbook
