How We Teach World Studies


Asking Essential Questions
The student edition asks students questions to help them recall content and think critically. These questions activate prior knowledge, motivate them to learn more, and guide them through discovering new academic content. Students will also be able to evaluate controversial events using Scripture and propose alternative courses of action that are biblically based.
Digging Deeper
This course includes multiple features to enhance learning. Extra reading questions, section reviews, and activity questions all serve to deepen student comprehension. Not only will students learn key historical events but they will also learn the connections between events so they can biblically evaluate pivotal historical decisions.
Teaching Strategically
World Studies implements an intentional teaching cycle to optimize the delivery of lesson content. Teachers will build on prior student knowledge and promote student engagement and collaborative learning. Students can then be instructed in the lesson content by using graphic organizers, discussion prompts, and various technological resources. Teachers can guide students in applying the lesson content and can assess student understanding using periodic written projects.
