World History

Teacher: Mr. Brandon

This course is an in-depth study of world history dating from 200 A.D. to the present. Students will analyze major turning points in world structures including: the European Renaissance and Reformation, the rise of the Ottoman empire, World Wars I and II, the Cold War, the democratic revolts in Europe, Russia, China, and Africa, and the cultural assimilations of the 20th century. Emphasis will be placed on comprehension of these events from a multi-cultural perspective, outside the traditional Eurocentric view. The students will utilize textbooks, supplemental reading, classroom discussion, research projects, guest speakers, and interactive computer software.
