Pacing Guide for 7-12 Curriculums

Course Title: World History and Geography (World History: 1500 to the Present) Grade: 9 Length of Course: 36 Weeks

This curriculum guide for World History is in correlation to World History: Modern Times published by Glencoe McGraw Hill, 2005 Alabama

edition. The course curriculum objectives are in compliance with the Alabama Course of Study (COS) and the Standards and Objectives for the

Alabama High School Graduation Examination (AHSGE).

At the ninth-grade level, students continue the study of World History emphasizing historic, economic, geographic, political, and social structures

from 1500 to the present day. This course directs students to think critically about the forces that combine to shape the world today. It allows

students to analyze development and changes in the European, Asian, African, and American civilizations and ways in which the interactions of

these cultures have influenced the formation of today’s world. Knowledge of other cultures enables students to develop a better appreciation of

the unique American heritage of liberty.

Pacing: This guide promotes approximately one chapter per every two weeks. Chapters 5-14 should be covered in the first semester of the year;

chapters 16-25 should be covered in the second semester of the year. Review of material in Chapters 1-4 is at the teacher’s discretion based on

assessment of student knowledge.
