Scholars,
Welcome to Honors World History! World History at the ninth grade level is a survey course that gives students the opportunity to explore recurring themes of human experience common to civilizations around the globe from ancient to contemporary times. A historical approach will be at the center of the course. The application of the themes of geography and an analysis of the cultural traits of civilizations will help students understand how people shape their world and how their world shapes them. The purpose of this course is to give you, the student, a better understanding of the complex global community that we live and participate in on a daily basis. Throughout the semester we will be looking at many aspects of our global community as they relate to political, economic, historical, geographic, religious, and cultural themes as they relate to the past and present events of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The goal is that you will walk away from this course with a better understanding of the world around us, and be inspired to make it a better place. World History is a NC requirement for graduation. An NC Final will be administered at the end of the semester.
