古代文明中學社會研究第二部

In this exciting and in-depth introduction to Ancient Civilizations, students will learn about the cultural, political, geographical, and economic history of civilizations from Ancient Americas to the Roman Empire. We'll meet once a week for a fun and interactive lesson with images, videos, and lectures that will help students acquire and retain knowledge. 

Each week, we will cover an important civilization from antiquity. We will analyze ways in which human groups have interacted with one another, including systems of communication, migration, commercial exchange, conquest, and culture.  All topics will be taught and discussed objectively -viewpoints from marginalized groups will be discussed.

No textbook will be needed for this class. There will be suggested books and articles for reading as well as suggested documentaries to watch.

By the end of this course students will be able to: 
-Assess the significance of key turning points in world history.
-Describe the development of the political, social, and economic organization.
-Identify major discoveries, inventions, and scientific achievements, and assess their impact on society.
-Compare the world we live in today with past eras.
