Course Description:
Social Studies 9 is Global History.
Course Objectives:
This course will include map and graph skills, vocabulary, and reading development. Development is researching, writing, and higher level thinking. These will be accomplished within the context of Global History for ninth grade including: geography, culture, early man, classical civilizations, belief systems, important Empires, Middle Ages, the Renaissance, global exploration, the Reformation, absolutism, and the Age of Revolutions. This is in accordance with the standards for 9th grade Global History set by New York State.
In preparation for the New York State and District Standards, students will also be working on the skills needed to work with document based questions (DBQ's) and Constructed Response (short answer) questions.
Our classes will focus on the Enduring Issues throughout History. The Enduring Issues we will focus on are: Conflict, Cooperation, Power, Inequality, Innovation, Interconnectedness, Ideas and Beliefs, Environmental Impact, and Scarcity. This will help prepare students for the changes made to the Global Regents in 10th grade.
Materials needed:
School issued Chromebook
Paper, pen/pencil, colored pencils for assignments done at home (you will take a picture of your work)*
We will be creating a digital Interactive Notebook as we move throughout the course. This is designed to help students stay organized, better facilitate the learning process, and provide students with a portfolio of 9th grade content (all in one location) when preparing for the Global 10.
