World History 1, Welcome to the First Semester. The following is a course discription/ list of the major goals and subjects that we will be covering.
Our class starts with the Renaissance, Reformation and the Scientific Revolution. From there we will move on to European exploration and expansion. Next we will analyze the impact of the spread of Muslim civilizations and the emergence of the Middle East as an influential region in world politics, economics and culture. Then our class will evaluate the changing political systems throughout Europe during the Age of Absolutism. Once that is covered we will explain essential concepts from the enlightenment that represented a touring point in intellectual history. Then the class will analyze the causes and outcomes of the French Revolution and the establishment of the republican governments grounded in Enlightenment thought. We will move on to evaluate the emergence and impact of the industrial Revolution on economic and social structures. Next we will critique the motives and impact imperialism and anti- colonial movements in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. We will then compare the strategies and outcomes of modernization adopted by nations prior to World War 1. Once this is complete we will analyze the causes, significant events and consequences of World War 1 and 2. From there we will summarize major 20th Century intellectual, social, environmental and artistic developments. The last thing we will do is to differentiate between the opposing ideologies during the Cold War and their impact on various regions of the world. I should be a great year.
Directions: For each class I will post what we did that period. Some days there will be book work assignments. Some days there will be powerpoints to review, notes to take, or some other assignment or activity to complete. Each day will be different. I believe that students do not like the same old, same old. They like to do different types of activities and projects. This is the reason I like to keep class assignments mixed up. This website will help you to keep up or get caught up with what is going on with class. Look on this page everyday for the updated list of class activities and assignments.
