Beginner Level
The course covers the first half of the AP curriculum, divided into three thematic units that reflect historical periods. The course will consist of lectures, quizzes, essay assignments, note taking and review, a midterm and several simulated AP exams. I use the Socratic method with critical thinking as a major component. Less PowerPoints and handouts and more discussion and deep thinking. We will complete hands on projects and focus on experiental learning.
Learning Goals
Focus on significant states, societies, and the interactions between peoples and cultures. The course includes an in-depth study of major events, technological advancements, and ideological shifts.
Developing critical historical skills, including source analysis, comparative essays, and continuity and change over time, which are essential for excelling on the AP exam.
