WORLD HISTORY BEFORE THE 15TH CENTURY: AN EXPLORATION OF ARTIFACTS AND IMAGES

Abstract

Four lessons which incorporate a multitude of primary sources and images, often with an emphasis on experiential learning. These lessons aim to engage learners by involving them within a historic activity or event, as well as making relevant and modern connections in order to demonstrate concepts and ideas. The four lessons stand alone, covering a diverse set of topics. The first lesson is about the Silk Road Trade, the second about the Greek and Roman pantheons, the third is about the invention of the printing press and its effects on civilizations across the globe, and the final lesson is an exploration of Mayan artifacts.
