World History is a survey course that gives students the opportunity to explore recurring themes of human experience common to civilizations around the globe from 1300 to contemporary times. This is a rigorous course. Not only do we cover around 700 years of history in one semester, we will be working together to sharpen your reading, writing, and thinking skills in order to prepare you for upper level social studies courses and for the “real world.” We will study maps, charts, music, literature, media, documents, technology, and many other methods to accomplish this daunting task. This means that you will need to come to class prepared every day. I want to help you, but first you have to help yourselves...remember, I’ve done all of this before, so everything I do is for your benefit, not mine! If there is anything that I can help you with, from explaining something that you don’t understand from class, your grades, or just need some extra help...come see me! |
