1211 Modern World History
Grade 10: 1 Credit, Honors
Does all change bring progress? Why do revolutions begin? How do ideas and individuals change the world?
This course places students in the center of global change, from the streets of Paris during the French Revolution to the factory floors in newly industrialized cities. Students will explore the political manipulations of Bismarck and learn about the roots of terrorism in the 21st century. Change may be forced on the world by the horrors of war or influenced by the paintings of Impressionist artists. Overall, this course will provide students with a thematic analysis of world history (revolutions, nationalism, conflict, imperialism, cultural and technological change) from the Enlightenment to the present day. Students will work collaboratively to problem-solve creative and historical scenarios. They will be assessed on their knowledge of content and application of historical thinking skills through extensive use of primary and secondary sources.
