 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * The purpose of this Unit is to develop an understanding of the Modern World, 1450-1800. This includes understanding the Renaissance and all the events that are during that time period: for example, the plague, reform in art, humanism, and new thinking about government. This also includes the Revolutions of the time, French and American. We will also learn about the expansion and exploration of Europe. You as a student will be making connections about the major events of this time period. You will do this through projects at the end of each lesson to show how well you understood the topic. You will take on the role of interviewer, historian, advertiser, director, and many more. Through out the unit I want you to think about how historical events changed the modern world, how/why did colonial expansion shift power in Europe, and how was the United States influenced by world historical events. You will be given the tools to answer these questions through, secondary and primary sources, Internet sources, and textbook/lecture. At the end of the Unit you will create a project to show your knowledge of the unit and your ability to apply that knowledge to real world situations. ||
