Starting in early pre-history and moving through time and around the globe, we will pay special attention to the ways that differing environments, migration patterns, and social arrangements influenced pre-historic and historic peoples:  their cultural practices, their languages, their religious beliefs, their daily lives, their relationships with the natural environment, and the artifacts they made and left behind for us to discover.

​​

Students will learn to:

• understand major civilizations, cultures, and historical periods

• unravel historical cause and effect

• compare cultures and societies

• evaluate and use evidence from texts, maps, artifacts, and images

• build academic vocabulary and reading comprehension

​

Class materials vary by course and will include textbooks, articles, and supplementary materials appropriate to students' individual reading levels.

​

Because this history course also aims to develop students' critical reading skills, EFL learners are very welcome to attend.

​​

This course includes 16 one-hour classes.  Subsequent courses focus on different periods of world history. 

 

​*Currently only available as a group class of 2-6 students.
