We thought it was very important to begin with history.

In order to understand where you are going, you have to know where you have been.

1.01 touches on the Industrial Revolution, 19 th Century, 20 th Century, and 21st Century.

Each section on 1.01 focuses on the most important people, machines, and technologies of the time.

Each section in 1.01 has Powerpoints, activities, videos, and some handouts.

We have provided activities and notes as a reference point as well as a guide to make the transition to the new curriculum smoother for everyone. Please feel free to adjust them to fit your student’s needs.

We have worked very hard to check for duplicates, spelling errors and bad websites. However, things happen and we are human.

It is recommended to follow the blueprint as stated during the field test year. A mid-term exam will be given to evaluate assessment as well as curriculum pieces so you will need to have covered the tested materials.
