What It Reviews
A common first semester of high school World History, the ancient river valleys to the Renaissance and Reformation: River valleys: the Neolithic Revolution, Mesopotamia and cuneiform, Egypt, the Indus Valley, early China and the Mandate of Heaven. Greece and Rome: Homer, Socrates and Plato, Sparta, Persia and Marathon, the Roman Republic, the Punic Wars, Caesar, the Pax Romana and the fall of Rome. World religions and belief systems: Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity and Islam. The medieval world: feudalism and the manor, Charlemagne, Byzantium and Justinian, the Great Schism, the Crusades, the Norman Conquest, the Hundred Years’ War, the Reconquista. Empires of Africa, Asia and the Americas: Ghana and Songhai, Great Zimbabwe, the Han dynasty, the Mongols, Zheng He, the samurai, the Maya, Aztec and Inca, and Baghdad’s House of Wisdom. The Renaissance and Reformation: Florence and the Medici, Michelangelo, humanism, Machiavelli, the printing press, Luther and indulgences, Calvin, Henry VIII and the Council of Trent. Every answer was checked twice, and every game question is editable if your course took a different route.
Some courses, Florida World History among them, start with the Middle Ages. If yours does, the medieval, empires, Renaissance and Islam questions fit your course, but close to half the kit (the river valleys, Greece and Rome, and most of the religions unit) covers earlier history. Skip those, or swap in your own questions in the two editable games. If your course starts around 1750, as many modern World History courses do, this kit covers the centuries before it, so it will not match your exam.
Works On
Windows, Mac, and Chromebooks (Google Slides). Project the slides. No student devices or logins required.
Important
Play the games in Slide Show (Present) mode so every cell, box, button, and link works. The sound buttons on the quiz slides (thumbs-up, thumbs-down and music) and the music in the Mystery Box play in the PowerPoint versions, which are included here. These sound buttons do not play in Google Slides, so there they are decorative. Both games in this kit keep score on the printable score sheets.
