Global II Honors

Welcome to Global II Honors 

This course is designed as a survey of world history and culture from 1500's to the 

present.  Emphasis will be placed on the following:  a global view of the world’s history, 

history’s relevance to the present, and an appreciation of the  universality and diversity of the

human race.  Students will make judgments on events in history, as well as learn to

recognize historical bias.  Students will write persuasive and analytical essays and

 speeches.  They will also use writing to compare and contrast people and events in

 history.  Students will be required to read approximately 100- 200 + pages of outside 

reading per quarter.  Students will conduct independent research and will be responsible 

for guided and independent learning. Students will also apply creativity to historical 

concepts. This course will challenge you and provide many rewarding experiences

Welcome 2014-2015 school year

Global II students:

Welcome to Global II

Some of you challenged me and kept me on my toes. i do appreciate the laughs and jokes.  I know many of you have worked really hard this year and you deserve to pass. I am very proud of you. you will see all your hard work pay off in the end. remember at the end of the day it is just a test it is in no way a true  measure of your ability, creativity or intelligence.
