It is vital that your child complete all assignments in full on time, and study/review material on a daily basis. These things will help lead to success. Also your child’s education can be greatly enhanced by their parents' involvement. You are just as important to your child’s overall success as I am. Make sure to celebrate your child's success, no matter how small it may seem. This will keep your child enthusiastic about learning and proud of their work!
World History emphasizes the study of processes that transcend regions, nations, and even any single civilization. These processes include international relations, environment, religion, ideologies, labor, migration, industrialization, peace and war, science and technology, slavery, women/gender, trade, culture, and demography. Those doing global history attempt to see these and related developments from a planetary, transnational perspective, applying historical insights to diverse peoples and cultures in ways not possible from the vantage point of established regional and national history.
This year we will examine different social, economic, and political institutions and analyze the similarities and differences among the societies. Geography will also be a focus this year so that students will understand the world in which they live and see how the world is interconnected. My goals are at the end of the year my students will be better informed at making judgments and understand the need to be an active citizen.
