World History Honorscourses are designed for highly-motivated students with above-average critical thinking, reading, writing, and oral communication skills. These courses are designed to challenge students for future expectations in an Advanced Placement course. The course is designed to give students an international perspective on the historical forces that have shaped the global community. Students will analyze the complex and interdependent roots of the political, social, cultural, and economic structures in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. The impact of current issues and challenges will be discussed in every unit. Through a thematic organization, this course enables students to examine important themes that influence human interaction across time periods. This approach allows students to assess the historical impact of each of these themes on our modern world.
Please have summer read - A History of the World in 6 Glasses - completed for the first week of school. Bring in your copy for class discussion.
