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. 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.
