-Global History-10 is the second half of a two-year Global History program. This year we will study the world from the 1700’s to the present. Our course will be divided into eleven units. These units include, The Age of Absolutism, The Age of Reason, The Age of Revolutions, The Industrial Revolution, The Rise of Nationalism, Imperialism, World War I, The Between Wars Era, World War II, The Cold War and Communism, Modern Nationalism, Current World Issues and Trends. At the conclusion of this course students will take the New York State Regents Examination in Global History. This test covers both years of the Global History curriculum and is a requirement for graduation.

"This class was developed because we believe in you and your potential.  To be leaders, you must have two basic elements in your life:  Skills & Principles.  Throughout this course you will learn those skills and you will have the opportunity to become good at using those skills.  You will also be challenged to develop the principles that will be the foundation of your life.  In the next several weeks you will learn by doing.  This is not a lecture program, but a doing program.  You will face new challenges and situations that will build your self-confidence.  And, you will learn.  You will learn how to speak, present your ideas and work with difficult people.  You will learn how to think differently and be far more creative that you ever thought.”  –M.B.
