Modern History

Modern History in IB MYP Grade 3 History

In IB MYP Grade 3 History, Modern History gives intermediate learners (ages 13–14) the chance to practise investigating key modern events, understanding causes of modern conflicts and change and analysing significance of modern historical events.

MYP History is assessed against four criteria (A: knowing and understanding, B: investigating, C: communicating and D: thinking critically). Regular practice with modern history builds the knowledge and skills those criteria reward.
