Okay folks so we obviously have some work to do here. First and foremost we need to think about our curriculum map.

Below is an idea of units we could complete...this is just an idea - hopefully it will get the ball rolling


 * Topic || Curriculum Unit - Understanding By Design ||
 * **Modern Terrorism** || www.modernterror.weebly.com ||
 * Revolutions || Atlantic Revolutions (or something similar) - I think teaching the "fever" model is useful (GH agrees, will help students understand modern global politics) ||
 * Revolutions of thought || [[file:Industrial Revolutions.docx]]

From GH: I like the idea of Revolutions of Thought...is there a way we could make a unit which combines the revolutions of thought with those of government? Or are they too dissimilar to jumble together? || (From Greg) Here were some of the thoughts that we had mentioned earlier as well as some ideas I came up with this summer. How do these fit in with what others are thinking? I thought that original idea of this course was to begin after the World Wars and take on some of the US II content while looking at it from a World History slant. That would allow the US II people to complete the World Wars well and not need to worry about covering everything up to today, however that approach also makes USII somewhat World History-like and ours becomes a little more US centric than perhaps we want it to.
 * Imperialism? || - Do we want to include this? - Are we completing the World War I Unit or is this completely USII? (From GH: I feel like this would be good for US II to cover as they are also covering the World Wars in a lot more depth than they have previously. In order to do that, they really should cover imperialism well) ||
 * **Genocide** ||  ||
 * World at War || World War 1 and 2 (Summary Unit?) Refresher unit? ||
 * Independence Movements ||  ||
 * **Nuclear Weapons** || [[file:Ubd Nuclear Proliferation and Model UN.docx]] ||
 * Model United Nations || GH: See above ||
 * Modern China? || [|www.ChinaMemoirs.weebly.com] [|link] ||
 * Modern Africa? ||  ||
 * Modern Latin America? || Not sure if this would fit the bill, but it certainly looks at some Latin American issues (ignore the name of the unit, it's not really about Global Politics of the 1960's): [[file:Global Politics of the 1960.docx]] ||

I've included the two units I've already created below, and once we make a final decision I will take on some more units.

Q1: -Genocide -Terrorism -Nuclear Weapons/UN -War By Proxy - How super powers fought without directly engage each other

Q2: -Cold War and the 3rd World -International Diplomacy in the Nuclear Age -Model UN Unit - International Peacekeeping in global hotspots (I don't like this, but I think having more than one Model UN unit on any topic is useful to prepare students for the conferences and classroom work)

Q3: -Rising influence of the Non-aligned world (India, Middle east) -Model UN Preparation for Conference -The Muslim World and Global Economics in the 20th and 21st centuries

Q4: -Rogue States (Non-aligned countries today) -Outsourcing: Pros and Cons of a Global economy
