The following pages provide guidelines for teaching your students about our world. While each area offers important lessons on historical events and issues, it would be nearly impossible to teach students about every detail in a way that promotes in-depth understanding. Consequently, you should choose which you want to explore deeply and which you will use as points of comparison. The goal is for students to have the opportunity to gain important Enduring Understandings that world history teaches us about ourselves and our world. This 9th or 10th grade class is a survey of the development of the diverse cultures throughout the world. Special attention should be given to the geographical relationships of historical change. Integrated within the course should be pertinent civics and economic benchmarks.
