Middle School World History

(1 credit) An engaging, standards-based course offering students an in-depth, but easily understood, view of the human experience from the earliest civilizations through the Age of Enlightenment. Interactive features allow students to apply their mastery of lessons through such activities as customizing maps and designing feudal villages. An audio pronunciation guide will assist students' ability to say and remember the names of unfamiliar people and places. Frequent self-check practice questions and homework assignments within the lessons prepare students for the accompanying submissions, while numerous brief- and extended-writing opportunities encourage students to reflect on new knowledge and to expand their critical thinking skills.
