Class introduction
AP World History Prep is designed to help students understand and analyze world history from c. 1200 CE to the present. The class will cover a wide range of topics including cultural, political, and economic changes that have shaped our world. Students will have the opportunity to study and analyze primary and secondary sources and practice historical thinking skills.
In addition, the class will include a strategy course for the multiple-choice portion of the AP World History exam. This will help students develop test-taking strategies and techniques to improve their performance on multiple-choice questions. The class will focus on teaching students how to read and interpret the questions, analyze and evaluate the historical evidence, and apply historical thinking skills to answer the questions.
