9th Grade Global History & Geography

Rationale:

As New York State adopted the K-12 Social Studies Framework, the Global History &

Geography course, a two year course, was altered in terms of content and skills. As of

June 2018, the Global History & Geography Regents will no longer include specific 9th

grade content. However, the content and skills included in the 9th grade portion of the

course are essential to success in the 10th grade course and on the exam.

According to the New York State K-12 Social Studies Framework, ¡°Grade 9 begins with

the Paleolithic Era and the development of the first civilizations, continues with an

examination of classical societies, and traces the expansion of trade networks and their

global impact. The course emphasizes the key themes of interactions over time, shifts in

political power, and the role of belief systems. The first three Key Ideas review content

from Grade 6 and will not require as much instructional time as other Key Ideas. Other

Key Ideas may require additional instructional time such as 9.5 Political Powers and

Achievements, 9.9 Transformation of Western Europe and Russia and 9.10 Interactions

and Disruptions. While the course emphasizes the importance of historical and spatial

thinking, all of the social studies practices and standards are included in the study of

global history and geography.¡±

In order to facilitate the transition to the new 9th grade Global History & Geography

course, we asked the curriculum writers to complete several tasks. The first task was to

create two lessons for each of the nine units of the course¡ªPrehistory, Early

civilizations, Belief systems and their Empires, Classical Era, Post-Classical

Civilizations, Africa, Post-classical Asia, Age of Transition and Interaction, and

Absolutism. Each lesson focused on at least one of the six Social Studies Practices. The

second task was to create 5 stimulus-based questions for each of the nine units. The

stimulus-based questions are all multiple choice questions, and use the question stems

provided by the Long Island Council for the Social Studies as the new Global History &

Geography Regents will feature stimulus based questions in the multiple choice section.

Teachers can use the lesson plans and handouts just as they are printed in this

document or can modify them to meet the needs of their particular lesson and students.

Teachers will have electronic access to the document as well.
