MYP Shaping the Modern World I

MYP Shaping the Modern World I addresses four fundamental questions for select regions of the world: 1) Who are the people of this region?, 2) Why are the people of the region who they are?, 3) What are the modern challenges of this region?, and 4) How is each region interconnected? To answer these critical questions, four themes will be explored in each region: culture, physical geography, politics, and economics. Regions to be studied include North America, Europe, and Russia. Students will continue their prior study of U.S. history through an integrated exploration of the U.S. and world, post-1945. MYP instruction will emphasize IB principles, such as the Areas of Interaction, global connections, and development of skills for lifelong learning.
