Enjoying Global History
Grades 9–12
Make history accessible and enjoyable for students
High-interest, thematic stories help teach the history of events from prehistoric times to 9/11.
Explore global history with a combination of informational texts and over 100 thematic stories. The narratives are presented in a variety of literary forms—short stories, plays, newspaper reports, interior monologues, and letters.
Unit introductions contain motivating material about the events in the stories and raise questions that will help students anticipate outcomes and focus on the material at hand. Brief, informational text introduces stories and explains the political, social, and economic settings in easy-to-understand terms. Postscripts to the stories highlight the effects of the story's events and point to future developments.
End-of-chapter comprehension, research, and critical thinking activities require close reading and the use of textual evidence.
A Teacher Manual offers useful and practical teaching approaches including lesson plans with suggestions for extensions and assessments.
