Kudos to Dr. Edwards for blending historical content, critical thinking, and methodology. The individual “dots,” accessible and engaging on their own, are connected in such a way that students are presented with a much broader view of world (western) history. This is a gift to teachers who struggle with translating history into meaningful and manageable units without losing the larger picture.
