Global Studies/World History

Picture
What is the course about?

World History is a required one year credit overview course for 9th graders at Bishop Timon-St.Jude High School.  The course content will be varied and will cover known history from the rise of hunter/gatherers up to the 21st century.  Focus points will be contributions made by Eastern and Mid-Eastern Civilizations such as those found in Egypt, Africa, China, and Iraq.  In addition, time will be invested in looking at the countries of Western Europe that form a basis of our civilization.  We will be looking at political structures; the impact of geography and weather on history; the significance of social, artistic, and technological changes and improvements; as well as military history. One main goal of the class is to insure students know the issues of today and how in many cases there is an historical reason for those issues, as well as, building the historical thinking skills that lead to success in and out of the classroom
