Description: This course is designed to introduce students to a thematic approach to the study of world history. Unlike
many world history survey level courses, the depth and scope of the course is both thematic and chronological. This
thematic approach is designed to help students understand and analyze the interconnectedness of historical events, people,
places and ideas. To this end, we will employ extensive use of primary and secondary source materials, implement
numerous objective and written assessments, and complete some project-based and authentic/simulated
learning experiences. Each of the major themes covered in the course will include regional analysis, significant contributors
and the impact on regions and the world as a whole. Major themes included in the course will be: Principles of Geography
and Culture, Principles of World Religions, Political Systems and Structure, Global Conflict, Modernization and its’ Impact,
and Global Economies and Resources. This course integrates the study of history, government, geography and economics.
The World History course will also require a Project-Based Culminating Assessment.
