"World History Project is made up of brilliant resources for helping students understand the past and how it is linked to the present. Standouts include the engaging historian-authored articles, activities that develop sourcing and critical thinking skills, and videos that provide outstanding visuals of the curriculum. I have taught in middle school and currently teach at the high school and university levels and I highly recommend using World History Project in a variety of classroom settings." — Neal, tenth-grade history teacher
