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. 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. |
