Selah High School has offered BHP for freshman for five years, and now we are switching it up to World History Origins. We think it might be a better fit for our freshmen in a trimester system. We only have 11 or 12 weeks to give the students as much history as possible. It's our "introduction to social studies" class, and we know kids in our district have very little social studies prior to 9th grade. I'm not even going to start crying about that fact. Has anyone out there made the transition from Big History to Origins? Or anyone teach both? What are the best crossover activities? I see the comparisons on paper between both classes, but we don't have time to teach it all. What are the "must-dos" for Origins?
