Temple Christian SchoolSyllabus for 10th World HistoryNicholes Maddisonnmaddison@faculty/nmaddisonCourse DescriptionWorld History studies provide a comprehensive overview of the history of mankind. From the Garden of Eden up through the twentieth century, students examine the significant events, people, and issues that have shaped man’s world and development. Students are encouraged to discover the connections that exist between cultures, governments, religions, and races in the overarching view of man’s timeline. A strong emphasis on evaluating cause and effect prompts thinking at higher cognitive levels. Scriptural EmphasisWorld History uniquely allows the student to view man’s history from God’s viewpoint- as Creator, Sustainer, and Provider. The course encourages students to view historical events from the perspective of our Maker and His design for mankind. The inclusion of the Bible and its references to historical figures and events adds a deep spiritual solidarity to the textbook information. Reference to God’s principles in connection with cause and effect analysis enables students to place a Christian worldview perspective in place as they examine critical events and figures of history.

You will have one day for every day missed to make up your work. If you plan to be gone for any extended amount of time, please give me at least a one-week notice to get work together. Assignments missed because of an absence will be marked with 'INC' (incomplete) in RenWeb and will be calculated as a zero until the assignment is complete.
