Advanced Level
This class can be used as a stand-alone class to cover the content portion of AP World History. Or it works great as a supplement to an AP World History course in school, especially those in which the teachers are asking the students to read and learn content outside of the classroom. Unit 7 of AP World History covers the conflicts after 1900. Incorporated each week is both a thematic approach: how the content fits into the themes of history (Social, Economic, Political, Technology, Culture/Religion, Environmental). Students will also receive instruction in the use of historical thinking skills: contextualization, cause/effect, compare/contrast, and chronology. Each week, students will be provided with a teacher-made video (approximately 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.
