Course Description: In this course, students will learn about ancient civilizations, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, Colonialism, the Age of Revolution, and the history of Europe from 1850-1990s. They will also learn about the fall of Communism—the spiritual awakenings and the missionary outreach. Current events will also be discussed from a Christian perspective.

Participation: Students are expected to come to class each day prepared with their agenda, notebook, binder, and either a pen or pencil. It is also expected that all students will participate during all class discussions, class projects, group work, and activities. Any student who comes to class unprepared or is not focused on the task at hand will receive zero participation credit for that day.

Assignments: Reading and writing assignments will be given. Students will need to be able to summarize information as well as analyze.

Quote from Charles Carroll

“Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure (and) which insures to the good eternal happiness, are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.” – Charles Carroll (1737 – 1832)
