Join me as we examine the major worldwide developments that take place between World War I and II. This class will cover the causes of the revolutions in China, India, Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt. 

This course will be taught using visual aids via PowerPoint in a lecture-based format. Students will be expected to ask questions and discuss as a group the material that we are covering. During the 50 minute class periods, students should expect to answer questions to check their understanding and participate in class discussions. This course will also include videos to help explain difficult concepts using visual aids. The last week of the course will be the unit test which will be in the form of an interactive game of Kahoot.
