About Me

Hello! My name is Mr. Mikal Cabrera, and I teach 9th grade World History and 10th grade United States 1 History at North Bergen High School.

If you need to contact me, please email me at [email protected].

For my class, you will need your Chromebook fully charged, a notebook, and a pen/pencil.

 

World History and Cultures - This course focuses on tracing the development of civilization from prehistory to the French Revolution.  This course focuses on exploring and responding to quality literature from a variety of cultures and is divided into four major units: Perspectives, Journey, Tradition and Change, and Fate vs. Free Will. Students will examine folklore, biography/autobiography, historical and realistic fiction, poetry, drama and essays. In addition, stories are examined from a historical, literary, or cultural perspective. Collaborative learning, heterogeneous grouping, and attention to multiple intelligences are critical components of the course. Computer technology is used in research, writing development, and to foster collaboration and the development of digital citizenship.

 

US I - This is the first half of a two-year sequence, which constitutes the sophomore year of the History/Social Science program at the high school. It satisfies the requirements of New Jersey standards in the area, and is required for all students who do not choose an alternate United States History I or II sequence. This survey course follows a flexible chronology, which broadly covers the panorama of our nation’s development over a period of three centuries from colonization and settlement through the Industrial Revolution.
