Viele (843) 650-5600 ext.2548 [email protected] Textbook: Tradition and Encounters: A Global Perspective on the Past Jerry H. Bentley and Herbert F. Ziegler Website: www.mhhe.com/bentley3 Primary Documents: Medieval Sourcebook http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/salvian1.html http://college.hmco.com/students and other internet sources Course Description: The AP course and exam in World History is for qualified students who wish to receive college credit at the high school level by passing the AP Exam administered by the College Board in May, 2009. The purpose of the AP World History course is to develop greater understanding of the evolving global processes, interaction, and contacts with different societies. Course Design: The AP World History course is an academic, yearlong course with an emphasis on non-Western history. The course relies heavily on a college-level text, several primary source documents, and outside readings. In taking this course, you will attain the critical thinking skills you will need to be successful in college. In order to meet this goal, students will be expected to: 1. Read daily assignments and take notes 2. Participate in class discussions 3. Write several essays including change-over-time, compare and contrast, and Document-Based Questions. 4. Demonstrate understanding of historical context through unit exams and chapter quizzes. 5. Complete study guides and other on-line activities AP World History Themes: six themes that provide a way to make comparisons over time. 1. Impact of interaction among major societies (trade, systems of international exchange, war, and diplomacy). 2. The relationship of change and continuity across the world history periods covered in this course. 3. Impact of technology and demography on people and the environment (population growth and decline, disease, manufacturing, migrations, agricultural, weaponry). 4. Systems of social structure and gender structure (comparing major features within and among societies and assessing change). 5. Cultural and intellectual developments and interactions among and within societies. 6. Changes in functions and structures of states and in attitudes toward states and political identities (popular culture), including the emergence of the nation-state (types of political organization). Habits or Skills: 1. Constructing and evaluating arguments: using evidence to make plausible arguments. 2. Using documents and other primary data: developing the skills necessary to analyze point of view, context, and bias, and to understand and interpret information. 3. Developing the ability to assess issues of change and continuity over time. 4. Enhancing the capacity to handle diversity of interpretations through analysis of context, bias, and frame of reference. 5. Seeing global patterns over time and space while also acquiring the ability to connect local developments to global ones and to move through levels of generalizations from the global to the particular. 6. Developing the ability to compare and contrast societies. 7. Developing the ability to assess claims of universal standards yet remaining aware of human commonalities and differences; putting culturally diverse ideas and values in historical context, not suspending judgment but developing understanding. Course Requirements: 1. Chapter Tests: there will be a test given at the end of each chapter worth 100 points – 40 Chapters 2. Essays: there will be several major essays and shorter writing assignments given throughout the school year. Essays include DBQ’s, Compare and contrast, and Change-over-time. Each major essay will be graded according to the AP writing rubric and worth 100 pts. 3. Timeline: there will be several timeline quizzes given throughout the year; timelines include important political, social, and economic events and people. 4. Unit Exams: there will be five unit exams that will include several chapters from the textbook and information for outside reading and internet sources. These exams will be given at the conclusion of each unit of study. 5. Map quizzes: there will be several map quizzes given throughout the school year. Students will be asked to locate and label important cities, countries, and bodies of water. 6. Vocabulary: every week there will be a vocabulary quiz; including terms/people from units completed. 7. Presentations: there will be two major presentations this year; students will be assigned various topics Suggestions/Hints: Students should: 1.
