This course is brand new pilot course which will be offered at all schools across the province next year. This course replaces World History 3201 and World Geography 3202. The basic World Goography will be taught by Mrs. J. Johnson as per usual. 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 five units in total with approximately the first two and half being taught before Christmas and the remaining after Christmas break. I will endeavor to keep the page as up to date as possible.
