Description

World History Course Overview

This class is approved by the NCAA.

This high school World History course explores the story of humanity from creation to the present day. Students will study major civilizations, cultural developments, global conflicts, and influential leaders while gaining a deeper understanding of how world events have shaped modern society.

Mrs. Coffey brings history to life through archaeological discoveries, virtual museum tours, biographies, and insights from her own world travel experiences. The goal is to make history engaging, meaningful, and memorable rather than dry or distant.

The course uses a world history textbook as the foundation for weekly readings and discussions. Students will also build a year-long timeline that helps visualize how events, people, and cultures overlap across world history. Each quarter, students will read a historical fiction or biography book connected to the time period being studied to help them better understand life during that era. Alternate assignments are available for students with dyslexia.

Students complete open-book chapter quizzes, unit tests, and several hands-on projects throughout the year. While formal research papers are not required, students may complete small research activities as part of certain projects.

Live Class Experience

This is a lively, interactive live online class. Students are encouraged to participate in discussions, ask questions, and contribute insights during class sessions.
