Welcome to Ms. Husketh's Webpage

 

The study of World History gives students the opportunity to explore recurring themes of human experience common to civilizations around the globe from ancient to contemporary times.  Students examine the historical roots of significant events, ideas, movements, and phenomena. 

Because understanding political institutions and civic values of our own society ties the United States to Europe, this study of World History is to some extent a history of western civilization. 

The World History course develops chronological and thematic insights in eight chronological goals and examines broad themes in history. See www.dpi.state.nc.us/curriculum/socialstudies/scos  view secondary social studies.These goals provide the foundation for historical analyses that enable students to explore given periods of history in depth while establishing linkages across time  around the world.
