The time period covered for the entire course is exciting (400 to 1500 A.D.) and covers much of world history including many of the most important cultures on all continents. From the Aztecs in the Americas to the great Chinese civilizations and everything in between we’ll examine the history of the world. There will be mapping assignments from time to time and workbook assignments in most weeks. There will also be chapter tests when we have covered the material in each chapter.

In World History II second quarter we will be working on Chapters 11 to 16 in our text book //World History Modern Times //.

In Government second quarter we will be doing a lot of independent research on different governmental forms. From the earliest forms of government (or non-governments) to modern parliamentary and presidential forms of government we will seek to understand how governments work, why they work and for whom they should be working. We will examine how governments address similar problems in different ways and why some government types succeed while others fail. Particular emphasis will be placed on individual research of assigned topics and the writing of papers designed to support a particular point of view on a subject.
