*Please not that you will need to sign up for the official AP Exam separately from this course* **Important Info*** If you have not already arranged to take the AP exam in May, you will want to start looking for the location early in the school year, because exams have to be ordered by Nov. 15th to avoid a late fee. You can go to this website to find local high schools that host the AP exam. Then you can call the school and ask for the AP Coordinator and have them sign you up and order your test. Many allow students from other schools/homeschoolers to take exams there. https://apcourseaudit.inflexion.org/ledger/Grades Offered
The final grade for the class is 80% the weekly quiz average and 20% the final exam. They will get a certificate of completion with a letter grade at the very end of the course.

World History curriculum is rich with the study of differing cultures and perspectives. The content is presented thematically rather than strictly chronologically. Case studies are drawn from all world regions, with an emphasis on understanding the world in which we live today. This will better prepare students to become productive citizens in a growing and complex society. Historical information serves to enrich the analysis of the impacts of phenomena such as globalization, colonialism, and human–environment relationships on places, regions, cultural landscapes, and patterns of interaction. The class will utilize the following third-party resources: - Students will need access to Google Slides or PowerPoint for certain assignments. I recommend students use Google Slides, because it is free and also provides Google Drive as a place to organize and save their work. https://docs.google.com/presentation/u/0/?tgif=d - Kahoot for review activities: https://kahoot.com/schools-u/ - Edpuzzle for interactive multimedia instruction and and instructional videos. (Note that students will need to create their own free account) https://edpuzzle.com/ - Padlet will be used to create virtual gallery walks and class discussions https://padlet.com/ - Instructional resources will be created and organized with Canva and Articulate 360 https://www.canva.com/ https://rise.articulate.com/
Students will have free access to two World History textbooks. Excerpts will be assigned in class.
