Program Details

Retaining the text’s thematic perspective, the instruction has been reorganized to reflect the new time span and revised themes, skills, and processes and foster connections that illustrate both continuities and changes across time periods. Students are led to analyze historical sources and evidence as they interpret, draw inferences, and evaluate a variety of documents and understand the context and connections among events. Using historical reasoning, students gain an understanding of how to develop an argument based on relevant evidence.
