Global History & Geography: The Growth of Civilizations
Grades 9–12
A comprehensive chronicle of world history
Explore the geographic, cultural, economic, and political influences on human development.
Designed to provide enough content for a two-year course of study, the text highlights social history, cultural and economic trends, and political figures and issues with thorough timelines and unique primary sources. Unit readings include document-based questions.
Human-interest vignettes introduce each chapter, illustrating larger historical issues, events, and movements, and descriptions of physical environments link geography to historical events. Frequent "surveys of the physical environment" place historical developments in their geographic contexts.
Assessments require both written and oral responses and include multiple-choice, thematic essay, and document-based questions. A Teacher Manual contains unit and chapter objectives, lesson plans and suggestions to aid in implementing instruction, activities for extending lessons, and an Answer Key.
