SOC 962 - India: A Cultural History

Credits: 3
Discover the history of India, from its earliest known civilization to the present. Through the text, videos and the rich resources offered on the Internet, including the PBS documentary, The Story of India, students will gain insight and knowledge into the extraordinary richness of India's art, culture, religion and geography. The social, political and economic development will be explored as students learn about the significant people, works of literature and historic events that have made India the world's largest democracy and economic giant. You will have the opportunity to apply what you have learned as you develop integrated lessons for your classroom that align to state, district or national standards, as well as the connections between these standards and the Common Core. The rich, engaging environment of the online classroom will allow you to connect with other educators as you share resources, lessons and ideas. Assignments are available for teachers who are not currently in the classroom.
