Castles. World History for Us All: Teaching Units. Home > This model curriculum groups instructional units into three categories. The criterion for these categories is the scale in time, geographical space, and subject matter of the topics to be explored. This system has been designed to guide teachers and students in study of the past on a variety of scales, from broad, global changes to developments that occurred within regions, civilizations, or nations. Teachers may choose to introduce students to an entire Big Era in a few class periods by focusing on the sweeping changes of the era.
Or, they may devote a greater number of class days to an era, using several teaching units in all three categories of scale to examine the era in finer detail. All teaching units follow standard specifications for organization and design. The table below provides links to teaching units on the site or under development. Guns Germs, & Steel: Home.
