The world that we live in today is created from the
events and ideas of the past. Through our exploration of the civilizations and
events of the past we will develop a deeper understanding of the world today
as well as improve our skills as students, citizens, readers, public speakers,
writers, and historians. We will use the 8 themes of LEGGARTS (see attached)
to examine civilizations and eras around the world. World Civilizations is
aligned with the content, concepts and skills outlined in the Massachusetts
History and Social Science Frameworks. This course also incorporates many of
the expectations for student learning set forth by Shrewsbury High School.
