International Studies

This is a class for Sophomores, recommended by their previous year's teacher.

In this course, we will look at human history, from multiple directions, from 1450 to present.

There are a range of assessments and learning experiences:

• Multiple Choice, True/False questions, Critical Response paragraphs for classwork, quizzes and tests;

• Group Projects and Independent Research papers over a longer period in class.

There is a 2-part approach to this class: content and skills, or what you know and how to share it... be prepared for both from the first day of class :)

Click on the specific unit links under the 'International Studies' button in the top-right corner for specific information on units.

Many of the topics we cover are also addressed in short videos here: Crash Course I'll try to list the video numbers on each unit sub-page. Here are the transcripts of all of the episodes...
