The 9 Themes of World History
The Problem History can be so complicated! With all the different historical events that we’ll be studying this year, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to organize those events into BIG ideas?
The Solution That’s where themes can help. Themes are not as detailed as historical events, but help understand history by looking at basic ideas that all historical events have in common.
Examples of Themes
Continuity and Change
Geography and History
Political and Social Systems
Religions and Value Systems
Economics and Technology
Diversity
Global Interaction
Impact of the Individual
Art and Literature
Conclusions What do you think? Remember themes help us simplify and organize all the historical events that we’ll be studying this year. If you review this presentation throughout the year, it will help you remember the 9 Themes of World History.
