Course Description: The 8 th grade course is a survey of world history and geography from prehistory to the Renaissance/Reformation/Scientific Revolution (around 1500). Our extended studies will include: the 4 river valley civilizations, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Europe in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. This study of the world will be continued in the 9 th grade with a modern world history and geography course. We start with the caveman in the Paleolithic Age at 10,000 BC and then fast forward through to cover 5,000 years of “civilized” history. The way our curriculum lines up, we end up going around the world twice.

1 st Semester Topics: Ancient World Prehistory: first people, technology, calendars Egypt: Kingdoms, advancements, Pharaohs, pyramids Mesopotamia: different civilizations, Hammurabi, Judaism China: dynasties, Confucianism, Legalism, Daoism India: different empires, Hinduism, Buddhism Greece: types of gov’t, wars, advancements, Hellenistic civilizations Rome: Republic, Empire, Christianity, decline

2 nd Semester Topics: Medieval World Muslim World: beginning of Islam, spread, contributions Rise of Europe: feudalism, Church, economic changes High Middle Ages: England, France, Holy Roman Empire, Advancements, Crisis Byzantine Empire and Russia: Eastern Europe Africa: West and East, traditions East Asia: dynasties, Korea, Japan Renaissance: Italy, Europe, Scientific Revolution Civilizations of the Americas: Mayas, Aztecs, Incas, Mound Builders, Anasazi, Iroquois

Absences: There is no way that a student can completely make up a missed class (some days I may cover over 500 years of history). Work that has been assigned for one week or more is due on the due date. If there is no way they or you can bring it to school, they can it to me or send it with a friend. If possible, when a student is absent please please please have them me. I’ll happily pass along any information we’re going over and attach any handouts they’ll need. They also have the monthly calendar glued into their notebook and it’s on my webpage so they stay caught up. Handouts can also be sent out via the Remind texts or through Moodlerooms.
