=History According to Hicks= A 9th Grade Study of World History

//This site will be used as a resource for Ms. Hicks' 9th Grade World History Class. It will be updated by Ms. Hicks every month to include any important information, dates, or interesting facts that the teacher would like to share with the classroom. It is to be used as a simple resource for students to use as a personal reminder.//


 * "We can learn from history how past generations thought and acted, how they responded to the demands of their time and how they solved their problems. We can learn by analogy, not by example, for our circumstances will always be different than theirs were. The main thing history can teach us is that human actions have consequences and that certain choices, once made, cannot be undone. They foreclose the possibility of making other choices and thus they determine future events." - Gerda Lerner || [[image:worldglobe.jpg width="186" height="179"]] ||
