Modern World History

Students will study major turning points that shaped the modern world from mid-15th century to the present using the traditional theme-focused classroom format. Students will use this information to develop an understanding and appreciation of current world events and relate these events to their historical, geographic, political, and cultural context.

The evaluation process will consist mostly of tests, quizzes, and other forms of written work. At times throughout the year, students will have additional assignments and projects that will enrich the educational process of a student at Upper Dauphin Area High School.
