Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Advanced Level
This class can be used as a stand-alone class to cover the content portion of AP European History or it works great as a supplement to an AP Euro History course in school, especially those in which the teachers are asking the students to read and learn content outside of the classroom. 

Unit 1 of European World History covers 1450-1648
(Note: Topics and objectives correspond with College Board© Curriculum Description)

See the syllabus for the outline.

Incorporated each week is both a thematic approach: how the content fits into the themes of history. Students will also receive instruction in the use of historical thinking skills and reasoning processes: contextualization, cause/effect, compare/contrast, change and continuity, and chronology.

Each week, students will be provided with a teacher-made video (approximately 20-30 minutes long), covering the content. They will be asked to read supplemental material, answer practice multiple-choice questions, and write answers to short-answer questions.
