World History Advanced Placement (W.H.A.P.) Syllabus Bowick/DSA Overview of the Course This AP World History course is designed to be an apt equivalent of a college level course in content, scope and sequence. You are expected to do the reading, create appropriate notecards and take Cornell style outline notes for each of the assigned chapters and for the assigned primary source documents. We will examine the history of the people of this planet called Earth. Our focus is on human interaction, organization, movement, trade and conflict over time. We will enjoy mastering the nature of change within larger political frameworks and we will compare major civilizations. We will examine, nearly everyday, primary sources in both texts and in visuals. We will also do simulations and we will debate questions regarding the complexities and ambiguities surrounding human commonalities and differences. Through this method we will refine and develop the higher order thinking skills necessary for your success at the next level of your educational career.

Notecards Assignment-For each assigned chapter and each assigned primary source reading, there are key terms to be mastered. These terms will be highlighted in bold text in the reading. These constitute the content of the objective, or multiple-choice, section of the May World History AP exam.
