The text, lectures, and activities would fulfill a number of the DOE and
Common Core standards referenced below. Learning about Ancient
Greece and Rome as well as the origins of modern Europe would be a
vehicle for students to familiarize themselves with modern day
European and West Asian political and physical maps and introduce
them to key concepts relating to government as well as economy. By
assessing major trends, cultural drivers, and supporting evidence
students will gain an appreciation for concepts that transcend
particular places and times and enhance their ability to think
analytically. They will also gain an advanced understanding of ideas
and narratives that they will study more comprehensively in Grade 7.
