Course Description:

Global History 10 provides a snapshot of the world circa 1750. The course continues chronologically up to the present and has shifted to include a greater emphasis on the contemporary world. Several concepts are woven throughout the course including industrialization, nationalism, imperialism, conflict, technology, and the interconnectedness of the world. The last three Key Ideas focus on global issues, applying a more thematic approach. 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 building on years of the student’s use of the Social Studies unifying themes in their study of local, state, national, and global history.

Global History and Geography 10

Honors Course

The following are the minimum requirements to remain in an honors course (Student Handbook, page 20).

1. Students can be absent no more than 16 classes (days) per school year.

2. Students must maintain a minimum grade of 85 each marking period and on the final examination / regents.

3. Students must maintain a minimum average grade of 90 on all homework assignments.

4. Students will be prepared, attentive, and non-disruptive during class.

5. Students will participate in all class activities.

In order for a student to be enrolled in an honors class the next school year, he/she must maintain a 92 average or have a teacher recommendation and meet all of the other requirements or an honor student.

Homework

Honors students are expected to research and annotate classroom topics as homework from time to time. In some cases, the research will be the homework, in other cases it will be in addition to a homework assignment. Printing the first link from a search website (i.e. google) is NOT acceptable “research”.

Community Service Assignment

The community service requirement is an important part of the educational experience at Stissing Mountain High School. Students are encouraged to learn the importance of service to their communities with the intention that this spirit of community activism will remain part of their lives into adulthood. In order for community service to become an integral part of a person’s life, it must be enjoyable and/or rewarding.

• Community: a group of people sharing common interests

• Service: to aid and/or assist others

• “Favors” for individuals are not community service.

At least two (2) hours of community service performed for a non-profit organization must be completed each quarter. Each community service action must be performed for a different non-profit organization. School related community service is admissible only once during the entire school year.

Book Talks

Book Talks are not oral book reports.

You are expected to explain the historical events that inspired the author to write the book, present relevant “outside information”, and analyze how the book connects to other historic and current events.

• Book Talk presentations should last four (4) minutes before the class is allowed to ask questions.

Debates

Students will participate in various debates throughout the year with partners being responsible for leading at least one debate. When it is your turn to lead the debate, you will be expected to research your topic outside of class, meet with Mr. Sullivan outside of class, and debate the your opposition for the entire period.

Model UN

Global History Honors classes sometimes take a field trip to a local college to debate one of the world's problems with other students from local schools.

English 10 Honors

You will notice many connections between Global History 10 Honors and English 10 Honors.

Global History and Geography 10

Current Event Example

Social Studies Themes:

The social studies theme of Development and Transformation of Social Structures can be used to analyze James Griffiths’s article, “Elections in EU and India Tilt World’s Largest Democracies Toward Populism”.

Social structures are human made ways to organize societies. These structures may be legally created through laws or informally set up be the people that live in a region of the world. Griffiths described populism as a nationalistic message usually hating “the other”, often minority population. He continues with a political scientist’s definition that populism separates society into “the pure people” and “the corrupt elite”.

The main causes of World War I were militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism. Empires and nations tried to avoid war in the early 1900s, but groups of nationalists acted in their own interests during regional conflicts. When Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand secret entangling alliances with their roots in cultural and geographic ties dating back to the Middle Ages led to an all-out war in Europe and beyond.

While people living in democracies are free to vote their will and choose the candidates that they believe will best govern them, Griffiths argues that populism in Great Britain suggesting returning it to the days of the British Empire threatens progress that has been made since World War II. In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi won a second term despite being criticized for supporting the same anti-Muslim rhetoric that has caused years of discrimination directed at Muslims and several wars between India and Pakistan since their independence. Great Britain, India, and the United States played key roles in winning both World War I and World War II and continue to be powerful and important trade and defense partners for many countries. Political changes like populism threaten the interdependence that the world has built since the end of World War II.
