Madison High – World Hist/Geog 2 HN

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This is the second of a two-year, chronologically and thematically organized study of world history and geography. In this second year, students study the world from 1500 CE through the present. The course weaves together the skills and content of both history and geography so that students may learn how both affect the world around them. Regions of study include North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Students continue to examine the relationship among social, economic, and geopolitical developments across time and place. Students are encouraged to think independently while developing group process skills. Additionally, students will apply social science skills -historical thinking, geographic analysis, economic decision making, and responsible citizenship – to course content.
