This Powerpoint of 74 slides covers Elizabeth I's reign and relationship with her subjects, the reasons for war with Spain, the revolutionary changes made by England in naval ship design and tactics, the surprising evidence of what actually allowed the English to win and how close the Spanish were to victory.

For the last 27 years, I have taught at University High School, in Urbana, Illinois. During this time I have created a 4-year world history curriculum that breaks down as follows: Subfreshmen (7th and 8th grades combined): Prehistory and ancient civilizations, including India, China, and Japan. Freshmen: Western civilization and the Islamic world to 1500 Sophomores: World history from 1500 to 1945 Seniors: the world since 1945. All of these, except the senior course are required. The elective senior course is consistently filled to capacity of 30, usually with a waiting list.
