World history for 21st century learners
Active Classroom’s World History Collection engages students with a variety of primary sources and perspectives from early civilizations across the world’s regions up to recent globalization.
Structured, flexible, or somewhere in between
Start with a focus on societies from 3500 BCE to 1500 CE, teaching entire weekly lessons or assigning the parts that meet your needs. Activity types include historical maps, image and video analysis, close reading, simulations, and more.
Meet your students where they are
Many activities within the lessons cover the same reading at three levels, making it easy to differentiate learning for each student. Built-in tools give students the power to differentiate even more using Read Aloud, Translation, and Dictionary options.
Gradebook included!
Track student progress on individual assignments and easily give oral or written feedback within the Gradebook. Teachers also love the auto-graded multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank quizzes.
The Active Classroom platform integrates with Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, and ClassLink. Ask us about other LMS.
Customizable weekly lessons from a variety of perspectives
From the sixteenth century to globalization, our World History Collection represents a variety of expert authors to get at the richness and complexity of this time period. The customizable lessons include in-depth teaching notes for ease of use.
Powerful tools to boost learning
Students can switch between zoom, full screen, and quadrant view to analyze primary and secondary sources. And they can increase their level of understanding by choosing blocks of text to translate and words to look up in a traditional or picture dictionary.
A well-rounded view of student learning
Authentic, debate, mapping, performance-based, DBQ essay, discussion, multiple-choice, and short-answer assessments are all included in Active Classroom. Assign, track, and assess knowledge all in one easy-to-use platform.
