During this course, students will study the History of the World from the Paleolithic to the Modern era. The course is focused on developing students' critical thinking and academic skill sets through studying evidence to find out about the human past. Students will explore ‘the Human story’ from our beginnings as foragers, through two species-altering ‘Revolutions’, the Neolithic and the Industrial Revolutions. Along the way students will also be engaged in purposefully building their skills as students with a focus on organization, collaboration, note taking, self evaluation and class participation.
