Abstract:

Teaching World History is a resource book of essays on relevant topics, conceptual overviews, courses to study, successful lessons, and other fruitful ideas by individuals widely recognized for their expertise in teaching world history. Among the contributors are leading histoians such as William H McNeill, LS Stavrianos, and Philip Curtain along with dozens of scholars and daily practitioners who provide examples of syllabi, course offerings, and study guides to enrich classes from elementary grades to graduate programs. Engaging lessons illustrate cross cultural exchange, global themes, and comparative analyses to teach the skills of thinking historically. Well suited to a range of instructional levels, Teaching World History is divided into three major sections: Part 1: Presents approaches to teaching world history and curricular models, Part 2: Covers topics in world history, and Part 3: Provides strategies and lessons for the classroom. Individual chapters cover diverse areas such as art, gender, religion, environment, civilizations, cities, political systems, philosophy, literature, trade, and technology.
