    1. Early Civilizations: Mesopotamia, Egypt, Indus Valley, and China.
    2. Classical Societies: Greece, Rome, Indian empires, and dynasties in China.
    3. Medieval Times: The rise of Islam, feudalism in Europe, and the Mongol Empire.
    4. Renaissance and Reformation: Key figures, cultural developments, and impacts.

    Reach out to your teacher for clarification on specific topics that will be covered, and don’t hesitate to ask for help if you find concepts challenging. Best of luck with your summer class!
