Course Description
This course covers global history from 1750-the present.
​
It was originally designed for a 10th-grade New York classroom. It is fully aligned with the New York State Framework, Common Core Standards, and the current (2022) Regents Exam.
Adapting for non-NY Classrooms:
For those of you teaching outside NY, you can easily adapt this course to any modern history high school course by replacing the NY state standard in the editable lesson plans with your own.
​
This curriculum teaches students about enduring issues, a critical component of the NYS Regents. An enduring issue is simply a problem that people have faced throughout history in different contexts. Students are asked to identify the single enduring issue present in a set of historical documents and write about it.
If your students will not be taking a Regents exam, you can edit the lessons to remove the enduring issues-related instruction, change the name to something more familiar to your students, or continue to teach it as a historical thinking skill.
