Students in ninth grade history are hard at work comparing religious philosophies and roots. In Ms. Barroso’s Global History class, students have already studied the Middle Ages in Europe and Japan, and are now embarking on a comparison of Islam, Judaism, Zorastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. The evaluations and close reading of texts allows ninth graders to take a critical and analytical eye to evaluate different cultures, noting similarities and differences in their philosophies.
