COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will focus on the time period between the late Middle Ages and the end of the 19th century. Students will
investigate the emergence of the nations of Europe and the causes and results of major developments such as the
Reformation, Renaissance, Enlightenment, and Industrial Revolution. Additionally, regional civilizations in Asia, Africa,
the Middle East, and the Americas will be surveyed and students will be encouraged to compare and contrast these
cultures with those of Europe.
Students will be urged to consider how the interaction of regional civilizations during the ages of exploration and
imperialism has shaped the course of world history and the present. Students will develop reading, writing, vocabulary,
geography, and research skills for the purpose of enhancing their ability to make connections to the past and solve
problems they will encounter in the future.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS AND PERFORMANCE TASKS
Following the Understand by Design format, we have added Essential Questions and Performance Tasks to this
curriculum. By adding Essential Questions, we are striving for students to reach a deeper understanding of the material in
each course and thus not only retain the information, but also be able transfer the knowledge to different situations as
needed. The performance tasks are written to provide real world application of the material. Therefore, where noted, the
performance tasks must be the assessment used for that particular section. Complete copies of each UbD unit are
available from the department supervisors upon request.
