Compare, contrast, and contextualize the cultural, social, and political histories of various civilizations throughout time and around the world.

Students will be able to understand the historical significance of the subject material and will be able to interpret/analyze primary sources through classroom discussions, activities, and projects.

Writing Target: Students will enhance their academic writing skills in a series of homework assignments and projects relating to the subject material. The main components of academic writing will be covered throughout the course, which will culminate into one final writing project at the end of each term.

- Weekly lectures with guided note-taking sheets that should be later used to study for mid-term and final exams.
- Group activities, discussions, debates, and presentations will take place periodically in a collaborative learning environment throughout the entirety of each term.
- Individual homework assignments which introduce or enhance writing techniques and methods and help students better understand the subject material.
- Google Classroom will be used for assignments and necessary study materials.

Together we will practice building habits required for academic success and intellectual growth. If a student is willing to put in the work to the best of their ability, be on time with their work, cooperate in groups as a team player, and actively participate in all classroom activities with a positive attitude, positive results will likely follow.
