About this course:
The AP® World History course can appear overwhelming to teachers due to the scope and sequence of the course, but the class has the exciting potential of introducing students to the themes of historical thinking and the patterns of development among the great global civilizations. This course will help teachers organize an Advanced Placement class that guides students through the historical thinking skills of cause and effect, change and continuity, comparison and contrast, and analysis of primary sources. Teachers will develop a thematic approach for analyzing the histories of all the great global civilizations, develop methods and approaches that will engage and excite students in forming historical interpretations and evaluations about the developments of these civilizations, and help students develop their own historical argumentation and interpretation.
