Overland High School – Honors Global Studies

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course is aimed to move at a faster pace to prepare students for future AP and CE Social Studies courses. It will examine major themes of world history from the Fall of Rome through Modern Day events. The examination of long-term cause and effect will be taught through the refining of students' critical thinking, reading, writing, and speaking skills that students have already shown to possess and exhibit proficiency within the Social Sciences. This course combines the human side of geography with concepts of culture, population, natural resources, development, human rights, and globalization. Class discussions and argumentative writing will center around understanding why the world is unevenly developed. This course includes Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
