WORLD HISTORY

2007-2008

 

 

World History Studies is the only course offering students an overview of the entire history of humankind. The major emphasis is on the study of significant people, events, and issues from the earliest times to the present. Traditional historical points of reference in world history are identified as students analyze important events and issues in western civilization as well as in civilizations in other parts of the world. Students evaluate the causes and effects of political and economic imperialism and of major political revolutions since the 17th century. Students examine the impact of geographic factors on major historic events and identify the historic origins of contemporary economic systems. Students analyze the process by which democratic-republican governments evolved as well as the ideas from historic documents that influenced that process. Students trace the historical development of important legal and political concepts. Students examine the history and impact of major religious and philosophical traditions. Students analyze the connections between major developments in science and technology and the growth of industrial economies, and they use the process of historical inquiry to research, interpret, and use multiple sources of evidence.

                 The Students at White Deer High school will start at the end of the book and go too the front. We will start at “THE

WORLD SINCE 1945 TO THE PRESENT” I have found out a large percentage of  WORLD HISTORY TAKS QUESTIONS are from World War II to the present. We will also use several sources along with the World History book. DVDand Computer aswell as VCR tapes will be used to let the students get a picture and get an idea of the many different cultures of the world.
