Ancient World History


Designed For: Rising 9th, 10th and 11th grade students. 

Content: Ancient World History covers the period between the Classical Civilizations to the height of The Middle Ages. The course focuses on the development of Western Civilization but may include other cultures. Political, economic and social developments are central to the curriculum. 

Note: Most students preparing to take Ancient History in the fall will be placed in a preview section designed to emphasize study skills related to the successful study of history while concurrently providing a survey of commonly covered topics. Course content can be modified to meet requirements as requested by a student’s individual school.

Many specific study skills are best attained using history content as a basis for practice. Study skills emphasized include outlining, note taking, interpretation of maps, charts, graphs, tables, and primary sources. The goal is to teach how to read and study a textbook, identify important information, synthesize, and respond intelligently in writing.
