In this course you will study the history of the world's peoples, societies, cultures, ideas, innovations, conflicts, communities, environments, and faiths, from Prehistory thorugh Present day. You will have opportunities to investigate questions that are of special interest to you and to demonstrate your growing knowledge in ways that engage the interests of others. Virtually all interests can be incorporated into the study of World History becasue it is so broad. For example, drama, food, sports, pets, arts, sciences, technolgoy, health, and careers--all of these subject areas can and will be connected to World History. This course will also allow you to develop the writing, speaking, research, and, most of all the thinking skills that will be useful to you outside of the World History classroom.
