(Identifying Information Removed) Course Overview Advanced Placement World History is a challenging two-semester course that is structured around

the investigation of selected themes woven into key concepts covering distinct chronological periods. AP World History is equivalent to an introductory college survey course. The course has a three-fold purpose. First, it is designed to prepare students for successful placement into higher-level college and university history courses. Second, it is designed to develop skills of analysis and thinking in order to prepare students for success in the twenty-first century. Finally, it is the intent of this class to make the learning of world history align to students arts studies as well as be an enjoyable experience. Students will be able to show their mastery of the course goals by taking part in the College Board AP World History Exam in May. Course Design Advanced Placement World History is structured around the investigation of five themes woven into 19 key concepts covering six distinct chronological periods. History is a sophisticated quest for meaning about the past, beyond the effort to collect and memorize information. This course will continue to deal with the factsnames, chronology, events, and the like but it will also emphasize historical analysis. This will be accomplished by focusing on four historical thinking skills: crafting historical arguments from historical evidence, chronological reasoning, comparison and contextualization, and historical interpretation and synthesis. World history requires the development of thinking skills using the processes and tools that historians employ in order to create historical narrative. Students will also be required to think on many different geographical and temporal scales in order to compare historical events over time and space. The course relies heavily on college-level resources. This includes texts, a wide variety of primary sources, and interpretations presented in historical scholarship. These resources are designed to develop the skills required to analyze point of view and to interpret evidence to use in creating plausible historical arguments. These tools will also be used to assess issues of change and continuity over time, identifying global processes, comparing within and among societies, and understanding diverse interpretations. Students will be required to participate in-class discussions using a variety of Socratic seminar formats. In addition, students will be responsible for preparing class presentations in order to further develop higher-level habits of mind or thinking skills and broaden content knowledge. The course emphasis is on balancing global coverage, with no more than 20% of course time devoted to European history. This course is designed to be rigorous and rewarding, inviting students to take a global view of historical processes and contacts between people in different societies. The five AP World History Themes that connect the key concepts throughout the course and serve as the foundation for student reading, writing, and presentation requirements are as follows: Theme 1 [T1]: Interaction Between Humans and the Environment: Demography and disease, Migration, Patterns of settlement, Technology Theme 2 [T2]: Development and Interaction of Cultures: Religions, Belief systems, philosophies, and ideologies, Science and technology, the arts and architecture Theme 3 [T3]: State-building, Expansion, and Conflict: Political structures and forms of governance, Empires, Nations and nationalism, Revolts and revolutions, Regional, trans- regional, and global structures and organizations Theme 4 [T4]: Creation, Expansion, and Interaction of Economic Systems: Agricultural and pastoral production, Trade and commerce, Labor systems, Industrialization, Capitalism and Socialism Theme 5 [T5]: Development and Transformation of Social Structures: Gender roles and relations, Family and kinship, Racial and ethnic constructions, Social and economic classes

For each chapter students will: 1. Read the corresponding chapters in Strayer (2012) focusing on his three contexts that define the course: comparison, connections and change. 2. Use the chronologic timeline provided as well as charts, maps and graphic representations as a basis for analysis and comparison of periodization and change over time. 3. Analyze both the textual (Considering the Evidence (CtE) and visual sources (Visual Sources (VS) from the Documents section of the text in an effort to use the evidence to synthesize information from given artifacts and increase awareness of arts in cultures. Students will chart artistic developments over time. Artifacts will be analyzed for their content as well as SOAPS-Tone analysis of the context, point of view and significance of the artifact. 4. Engage in seminar style discourse about the artifacts (either in class or electronically) in an effort to extend and process historical thinking. 5. Complete a short quiz (modeled on AP style questions) on the chapter content. For each unit students will: 1. Be assessed by a 50 multiple-choice question (modeled on AP style questions) test with a choice of a free response essay. Thematic organization Students will be engaged to view history thematically using the Five Themes as unifying threads. Students will relate to how each era fits into the big picture of history. Students will tie this study to the Themes by using a GRASPEDIT concept map. G Geography and environment R Religion, beliefs, values A Arts S Social Developments P Politics E Economics D Demography I Intellectual developments T Technology Students will analyze each societal group in terms of these ideas.

Student Blogs Each student will create a blog hosted by an artist from different eras. Students will choose their artist, make a biography of the artist presented in the voice of their artist. They will then use this blog to add a series of artifacts and textual sources as well as links, videos or other sources of information. For each period unit students will be given specific items that they will need to investigate and provide artifacts for. Students will then create a series of discussion questions for their artifacts based on the synthesis of Key Concepts and Themes. Students will then engage in discourse to explore the artifacts and significance the items presented. All work submitted will be properly cited. Focus for each era includes: Unit 1: Archeology, Unit 2: Artistry, Unit 3: Political Structures, Unit 4: Economic Exchanges, Unit 5: Industrialization & Imperialism, Unit 6: Science and Technology. Workshops and supports Students will be engaged in a variety of lessons that focus on historical processes that can then be used repeatedly in numerous historical situations. The majority of these workshops will be presented in the first semester and continually practiced throughout the year with differing course content. These include: 1. Essay Writing Students will write a variety of essays in an effort to develop their writing skills by making arguments that have a thesis supported by relevant historical evidence. These workshops include: How to write a thesis statement. How to write a Comparison (C&C) essay. How to write a Continuity and Change Over Time (CCOT) essay. How to write a Document Based Question (DBQ) essay. 2. Historical Thinking Students will use readings from authors to consider a variety of processes of historical thinking. These workshops include: Why study History? This will include creating a personal philosophy for studying world history. Crafting historical arguments from historical evidence. This will include how to formulate a thesis statement, how to analyze primary source materials, and how to use a variety of evidence to make an argument. Multi-disciplinary evidence gathering. This will include looking at a variety of ways that scientists and researchers inform each others work. We will do an inquiry about the Bantu Migration, Polynesian food exchanges and Mitochondrial DNA as we look at how the evidence was gathered in order for us to know about these historical occurrences. Chronological reasoning. This will include how to search for causes and effects, how to look for patterns of continuity and change and how to analyze periodization. Comparison and contextualization. This will include how to compare/contrast and contextualize historical developments. Historical interpretation and synthesis.
