Welcome to Ms. Jones's World History Class!
On this website you will find everything that you need to stay up to date with our World History class.
You will find all assignments, PowerPoints, and videos under the correct unit we are currently studying, but you can also check out the "What Did I Miss?" page for a more thorough explanation of what we are doing in class.
The World History course will address six (6) periods in the study of World History, with a key focus of study from the mid 15thcentury to present. The standards of this course are grouped in a way that reflects accepted periodization by historians. The learning standards of this course have been written to focus around a basic core of chronologically-organized periods and events in history in order to have a set of learning standards that can be reasonably taught and learned with some depth and not just memorization of facts, within the time available for classroom instruction. However, local districts and teachers are encouraged to elaborate on what is included here, to add topics that they feel are important, and to organize material into Concept-based Units of study.
Students taking this course will study major turning points that shaped the modern world. Students coming to this course are expected to have a firm foundation in the themes and tools of geography and early, ancient and classical civilizations from their K-8 experience. Written conceptually, standards for this course have been developed with an historical approach, which should be at the center of any local World History curriculum a LEA may develop from these standards. The standards of this course are grouped in a way that reflects accepted periodization by historians.
