Welcome back to a strange new world :) You will have to be patient with me as I run headlong into the 21st century. We will be using this website, schoology, and College Board for learning. You must access all of these on a weekly basis. You will need to come to class on a daily basis, attendance is taken and will count and we go over important information every day! If you do not show, you will miss quite a bit. This is an advanced course equivalent to a college course, so you will be expected to keep up with lectures, assignments, readings and assessments. (get a planner or calendar). If you need any help, PLEASE reach out! Don't get too overwhelmed or too far behind. Take care of yourself, but remember this is a hard class even in the best of times. We will all be engaged in " productive struggle" (yes it will be hard and sometimes seem frustrating) but we can do this and I am here to help you. Good luck, study hard, learn skills that will help in future classes and college, and remember we can't do this YET!! ( but we will be able to, if we apply ourselves)

Advanced Placement World History is a one year course that is equivalent to an introductory college survey course. AP World History is a yearlong course designed to meet or exceed the experience of a college world history course. It is structured around 10 units of study that focus on critical and interpretive skills. Units will include: Foundations unit 0 to 600CE; The Global Tapestry 600-1450; Networks of Exchange 600-1450;Land-Based Empires 1450-1750; Transoceanic Interconnections 1450-1750; Revolutions 1750-1900; Industrialization and Imperialism 1750-1900; Global Conflict 1900-1945; Cold War and Decolonization 1900-present; and Globalization 1900- present. Students will receive a unit calendar at the beginning of each unit with reading assignments, homework due dates, quiz dates, and test dates.

Students must also learn to view history, not just across geographic locations of diverse societies, but also through themes across units to facilitate and evaluate comparisons of change and continuity over time. These overarching themes are: Interactions between Humans and the Environment; Development and Interactions of Cultures; State building, Expansion, and Conflict; Creation, Expansion, and Interaction of Economic Systems; Development and Transformation of Social Structures; and Technology and Innovation.
