World History 10: The Modern World

In Grade 10 Social Studies, students gain an extensive knowledge of major changes and events of the 19th and 20th centuries in various parts of the world. Through varied and engaging activities in class and major assignments, they improve their skills in critical thinking, writing, discussing, presenting, and researching. By the course's end, students have gained an improved understanding of political, social, and economic world developments from 1800 to 1960. We focus on themes of equality and justice, how major changes occur, and make links between what has happened in the past with events happening at the present.
