 Global
History and Geography 9
The global history and geography core curriculum is
designed to focus on the five social studies
standards, common themes that recur across time and
place, and eight historical units. This
curriculum provides students with the opportunity to
explore what is happening in various regions and
civilizations at a given time. In addition, it
enables students to investigate issues and themes
from multiple perspectives and make global
connections and linkages that lead to in-depth
understanding. As students explore the five social
studies standards, they should have multiple
opportunities to explore the content and
intellectual skills of history and the social
science disciplines. For each
historical era, students will investigate
global connections and linkages. These
global connections and linkages include:
