This High School edition of Big World History is almost 500 PDF pages of every single thing that has ever happened, in every culture of the world, during every time period, since the beginning of the universe--13.8 billion years ago, up to now, and into the future! Just kidding. Sort of. We couldn't really fit every single thing (though we wish we could have, and we really tried), but Big World History really is almost 500 pages of learning, with 36 weeks worth of lessons that each have uniquely created print-and-go activities to pair with each lesson, along with reading and video suggestions, discussion topics, bonus off-the-page activities, collaborative timeline badges and more. Big World History is meticulously researched, diverse, inclusive, empathy-packed, and full of love. Also, there's a pigeon.
How the High School edition differs from BWH Elementary and Middle School Edition:
Most weeks have two lessons, rather than one, for more opportunities for in-depth consideration of each topic.
There’s a lot more reading, and the texts are much more rigorous
The podcast recommendations are way more mature
A bit more rigor, seamlessly blended in among the creative and fun print-and-go activities.
