Utilizing the approach of looking at world history as a big picture, this class will challenge students to view world history as part of the larger patterns of historical change. From Pharaohs to the Great Wall of China, the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire to William the Conqueror, the black death, the Renaissance, and the great civilizations of South America and everything in between students will dig into world history.

This class will focus on “nine big eras” of historical change and the patterns of Humans and the Environment, Humans and Other Humans, and Humans and Ideas.

The class incorporates primary source documents, a class “time travel” presentation, and in-class activities.

Students will need access to Theresa’s website homeschoolingclasses.com in order to access readings and assignments.

Students should bring a writing implement and paper and/or a laptop to class each week.

Students can expect to spend about an hour weekly on reading, research, and/or working on their project for presentation in class.

This full-year course will be open to new students for spring semester.
