Students in grade ten study major turning points that shaped the modern world, from the late eighteenth century through the present, including the cause and course of the two world wars. They trace the rise of democratic ideas and develop an understanding of the historical roots of current world issues, especially as they pertain to international relations. They extrapolate from the American experience that democratic ideals are often achieved at a high price, remain vulnerable, and are not practiced everywhere in the world. Students develop an understanding of current world issues and relate them to their historical, geographic, political, economic, and cultural contexts. Students consider multiple accounts of events in order to understand international relations from a variety of perspectives.

This class is a full credit course that meets the requirements for a full year of 10th grade social studies, therefore, students should expect to work a minimum of four to five hours per unit to thoroughly and effectively complete class work.

Success in the online environment requires the ability to manage time effectively and to work independently.  Additionally, the capacity to follow guidelines and protocols achieves new importance in the absence of daily meetings and an onsite teacher.  

NOTE: This course is open to Enrichment students only (no remedial).  Enrollment in this course requires students to attend an orientation.  This meeting is mandatory.  Failure to attend will result in dismissal from the course without assurance of a full or partial refund.  We will schedule three meetings to accommodate student schedules (they must attend only one); these will be announced in April and scheduled before the full or partial reimbursement deadline.

Email the teacher for instructions to enter the class.
