Honors World Geography/History

World Studies is an accelerated, in-depth study of the world. The focus will be significant events throughout world history incorporating literature, primary sources, cultural stories and nonfiction articles as a base. Students will be required to not only keep current on world affairs, but also to discuss events as they happen. Students will write a series of papers from smaller Claim-Evidence-Reasoning analysis to larger research papers. Assessments will be based on the district standards and students will primarily be assessed using a variety of higher-level thinking skills. While district standards will be employed for this course, students will go above, beyond and in depth for each area studied.
