World History Lessons
We are in the process of creating a Reading Like a Historian curriculum for world history. We currently have 33 lessons available from across the world history sequence. More lesson plans are under development. We will continue releasing them over the next few months. Initially, we are placing these plans across three general units: Ancient, Medieval, and Modern. Similar to the U.S. curriculum, the world history materials consist of 1-2 day, stand alone lesson plans that address historical questions. All lessons include sets of adapted documents and guiding questions. Several come with PowerPoints and graphic organizers. It is important to note that we have not designed these materials with a particular grade level in mind. We encourage teachers to further adapt these lessons for their own classrooms.
