Description

Twentieth Century History – Modern World

Twentieth Century History – Modern World is a fascinating look at a century that changed what we do and how we do it! The century started with folks still in horse and buggies and ended with people exploring space in a shuttle. Wow! We will explore the 20th Century decade by decade meeting the people, viewing the events, and exploring the ideas behind them. We will also learn about the space race, Civil rights, Aliyah, fascism, communism, abortion, medical discoveries, transportation changes, technology, inventions, famous people, missionaries, Christian heroes, and major wars.

People students will meet this year:

  •       Sun Yat-Sen
  •       Thomas Edison
  •       Albert Einstein
  •       Henry Ford
  •       Joseph Stalin
  •       Mahatma Gandhi
  •       Adolph Hitler
  •       Corrie ten Boom
  •       King George VI

Sports, movies, television, music, art, literature, fashion, and games will also be explored. We will meet businessmen, kings, queens, dictators, inventors, movie stars, singers, architects, and game creators this year. Prepare to explore the 20th Century like never before!

At home, students will read our textbook; then answer questions, fill in maps & timelines in the high school workbook. Students will also watch 1 historical movie per month of their choice related to the decade—suggestions will be given, and we suggest working on their timeline while they watch. Since we are online, we will be unable to do the hands-on history labs, so instead, students will choose 1 lab per semester to do at home, take photos, and share with fellow students.
