Early Modern World History - Course Outline
Teacher: Mr. Taglieri
Room: 120
Email: [email protected]
Text: Beck, Roger, et all. Modern World History: Patterns of Interaction. Evanston, IL: McDougal Littell. 2005.
Course Description: This is the first part of the World History curriculum covering the advent of the modern world. The course begins by exploring the various regions of the world in their latest stages of development in the early modern world approximately between the years 1300 – 1800. We will then trace the development of key attributes of the modern world as they developed in Europe. Finally, we will explore the increasing globalization of the world and how Europe’s increased power affected the process concluding with World War I. Beyond learning the facts of history we will focus on critical thinking and determining the relevance of the past for today. We will also focus on the skills of writing, speaking, cooperation, research, and computer literacy.
Materials Needed: three ring binder with white-lined paper and a black or blue ink pen. There are many handouts in the class that create the need for a three ring binder.
Materials Recommended: color pencils and/or markers, three-ring hole punch
Assessment: A variety of assessments will be used to measure student performance. Each assessment tool will be given a point value.
Examples: Homework assignment – 5 points
Unit test – 100 points
These points are the maximum number of points that can be earned on that assignment. At the end of the grading period each student’s points will be totaled and divided by the maximum number of points that the student could have earned, the result will be the student’s grade for that marking period.
Students will write 4-5 essays with each one adding a new skill that historians use in crafting their work. Other graded assignments include tests, quizzes, homework, and other projects. Classroom performance will also factor into the grade as a 60-point assessment.
Extra Help: I am available most days after school for extra help; all you need to do is ask. The official days are Tuesday and Wednesday.
