Course Description: Using BJU Press World History curriculum as our foundation, this course will discuss civilizations from around the world all the way from creation to the 21st century. I personally believe that history is best presented as one big story so that is the approach I will be taking as I attempt to immerse the students in what they are learning and discover where they fit into the story themselves.
Course Objectives: By the end of the year, each student should have a good amount of general knowledge of the various major periods in our world's history.
