The second round of John Green's world history runs to 30 episodes and deliberately drops the strict chronological order of the first. Instead it groups history by systems and themes, so you see recurring forces rather than a sequence of famous events.
It works best after a chronological survey, when you have enough context to notice the patterns it draws out.
In 30 episodes, John Green rethinks world history! In round two we take a different approach and try to think more thematically rather than chronologically. By the end of the course, you will be able to:
*Think about history thematically and in terms of systems, not just important events
*Analyze the context of historical events, developments, and processes and explain how they are situated within a broader historical context
*Explain the importance of point of view, historical situation, and audience of a source
*Question how what we think of as “history,” how it is written, and what biases are at play in a work
