We are in year 3 of our 4-year history rotation. The Pre-modern period is associated with fundamental changes in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The period begins with the end of the Medieval age and ends with the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. Literature is integrated into this course and novels will include The Three Musketeers, A Tale of Two Cities, and works by Shakespeare. The format of the course includes group discussion on in-class days, independent research and writing each week, and independent reading of curated literary works which follow the historical material. Completion of all assignments will qualify the student for a credit hour in history as well as one in language arts. While this class is for middle and high school students, each student will be assessed based on their own level.
