Updated 7/25/07 with several new flowcharts on such topics as post colonial Africa, modern advertising, the decline of the modern community and family, the impact of the stirrup in the Middle Ages, and Muslim Spain.
A Powerpoint presentation of World history presented in 200 hyperlinked slides. The package includes a user guide, a slide list and a printable version of each flowchart in a Word document.

The flowcharts seem like a very effective, memorable way to present history. Some of our social studies teachers are starting to use them (or similar charts of their own design) as the core of their units. The readings that accompany the flowcharts on Butler's website (www.flowofhistory.com) are also excellent -- you can give them to students and have them try to come up with a flowchart of their own (they're explicitly written to support that). It would be wonderful to have the readings in a downloadable companion file... Keep up the great work!

I would also like to see the flow charts available in black and white (less expense for printing) and as pdf pages (holds size and easier to pick which pages to print) rather than a powerpoint program.

I saw your comment about printable flowcharts. You can get printable .png versionsof each flowchart at my website www.flowofhistory.com. I've also included printable versions of each flowchart with Hyperflow on TPT. If you'd like me to send you a zip file of them, reply to me at cbutler@flowofhistory.com. Thanks for your feedback.

Help
Some of the files came through without the proper file extensions. I am trying to get at them by name change and adding ".doc."
Also, I can not locate the slide list. Is this a part of the power point presentations?

Email me at cbutler@flowofhistory.com & I'll send you a Powerpoint of 19 flowcharts that serve as a slide list.

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.
