  • Course Description

United States history is best studied in the context of the greater world history in which it resides.  While history doesn't repeat itself, it does rhyme, and we can learn to see themes that cross across centuries and millennia and apply those to current World situations.

​

Some of the topics covered include the New World; Western Europe; Asia (China, Japan, India) and Eastern Europe; the American Revolution; the Age of Napoleon; Africa; Rebellion and Repression.  While studying these topics we will use original sources, maps, and literature.  

  • Classwork / Homework

Students will engage in presentation/lecture, learn note taking, class discussion, independent study, classical literature, memorization, and even food, to use the past as a lens to understand our current world. Students will print homework assignments from our Google classroom to complete weekly assignments.   Each student will also keep a binder of all notes, maps, homework, timeline, handouts, for a final grade.

​

Approximate homework: 2 hours
