World History Honors 1, 2

This course is available to students who are interested in World Affairs and who are willing to spend time outside of class preparing assignments. The course will use the high school text, available in all World History classes, as a guide and will include the same teaching standards to explore the significant political, social, and economic issues from prehistoric times to the modern age. The course will include historical contributions made by a variety of cultures, ethnicities, both genders, and nationalities. The honors designation, however, requires a greater emphasis on assignments that require analysis and evaluation from the student's perspective. This translates into the student's reading a wide variety of historical sources. Students will be expected to participate daily in discussion and to arrive prepared to facilitate not only their personal learning but, also, to be an active participant in the classroom

community. The rigor of assignments, assessments, and project evaluation will be consistent with that of an honors curriculum.
