Guns, Germs, & Steel Unit (6-10 lessons)
It is my favorite unit to teach. This unit takes teachers and students through modern economic conditions through a presentation that uses Jared Diamond's theory explaining the haves and have nots in the world. All of the multimedia resources are available via the web and are hyperlinked in the relevant assignments. This is a very thorough unit that really implements the philosophy of Big History, investigating the big picture questions of why the world has developed into its current state.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3VI-MIqtwE
This is a great way to get students engaged in Genghis Khan and the Mongols. My students think this video is interesting because it is descriptive about how Genghis Khan rose to power and how ruthless he was once he gained power. I follow this video guide with a DBQ on the Mongols that I have posted on TPT as well.
