Global History and Geography Course Outline:
This course focuses on the New York State and
National standards, themes and concepts that require
students to develop skills of historical analysis to
investigate and interpret major ideas, events and themes of
human history. We will explore various perspectives that
emphasize historical evidence and our understandings of
change and continuity over time for individuals and groups.
We will analyze human and physical geography, the movements
of people and their goods, environments and societies,
cultural interdependence, economic and political systems,
technology, human needs and wants as well as justice and
citizenship. It is important to understand these forces
affecting our past, present and future as our community
expands globally.
