Welcome to History! In this sixth grade level course, students will walk through world history starting with an overview of world geography, both past and present. We will examine the different continents and oceans. We will examine some of the theories of human origins and human migrations. Using an array of source materials, students will explore, analyze and document different African, Asian, and Middle Eastern people and cultures throughout history. They will learn about the important historical events and diverse actors who helped shape history. This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities (recipes, movies, dioramas, experiments, etc.).
