What is Modern World History?In Modern World History, students will explore a variety of peoples, events, and movements in world history (1800’s to the present) with a focus on inquiry-based learning. To achieve this, students will explore cause/effect relationships within the context of history. Additionally, students will acquire skills in critical reading by analyzing fiction, non-fiction and primary sources as well as maps, charts, graphs and political cartoons. Students will utilize evidence from reliable sources to effectively communicate, both in writing and orally, their own opinions on complex historical issues supported by relevant, accurate and persuasive evidence. Topics may include, but are not limited to colonization, imperialism, genocide, the League of Nations/United Nations, immigration, nuclear weapons, and human rights.
