HISTORY OF OUR WORLD focuses on building all readers’ fundamental social studies knowledge and skills in the context of a highly effective reading approach to social studies content. The text’s topical development, controlled readability, and engaging design motivate and support reluctant readers by establishing interest and building confidence.
At the same time, HISTORY OF OUR WORLD delivers an academically solid, standards-driven teaching tool that presents our world’s story in a comprehensible, authoritative, and appealing format. The complete program is available as one hardcover edition or divided into “The Ancient World” and “The Modern World” as softcover editions.
Volume II: The Modern World Contents Include: Global Exchanges (1300-1800), Revolutions, New Nations and Growing Empires (1750-1914), Years of World Wars (1900-1945) and Into the 21st Century (1945-present)
Teacher Editions Furnish teachers with a comprehensive tool for planning, teaching, extending, and assessing this world history program.
The side-margin notes provide a rich source of suggested teaching activities and assessment tools. They are organized under the headings Before Students Read, As Students Read, and After Students Read to enforce the reading approach to the program and provide a convenient framework for lesson planning.
The bottom-margin notes provide valuable supplemental information and optional activities for use at the teacher’s discretion such as Link to Prior Learning, The March of Time, The Story in History and The Big Picture, Then and Now, Home Connection, People in History, and Alternative Assessment.
