Course Description and Prerequisite(s):
Prerequisites: “B” average – no grade lower than a B in ANY high school Language Arts or Social
Studies course work. If you do not meet the pre-requisites, you must meet with the instructor and
secure the instructor’s approval to successfully enroll. Students must complete and submit a
written application as part of the placement process. Once accepted into this AP course, each
student, and parent, will sign a written contract signifying acceptance of course requirements and
responsibilities, as well as complete an Honor Code.
Students who complete the first semester course, successfully, will be allowed to enter the
Advanced Placement World History course that begins in January, following this prerequisite
course (WHH is an honors level course that will have grades calculated at a 4.5). World History
Honors (WHH) begins with 8,000 BCE and covers content through events to 1450 CE. AP
World History (WHAP) continues the chronological and regional study of the world’s history: it
begins in 1450 and concludes with 2015: through instruction of skills and content, the course
will continue preparing students for the Advanced Placement exam in May. The course
highlights the nature of changes in international frameworks and their causes and
consequences, as well as comparisons among major societies. WHH emphasizes relevant
factual knowledge deployed in conjunction with leading interpretive issues and types of
historical evidence. The course builds on an understanding of cultural, institutional, and
technological precedents that, along with geography, set the human stage. Periodization,
explicitly discussed, forms an organizing principle for dealing with change and continuity
throughout the course. Specific themes provide further organization to the course, along with
the consistent attention to contacts among societies that form the core of world history as a
field of study. WHH is an opportunity for students to “do history” and learn what it means to be
an historian. Students will be introduced to the techniques and methods used by historians to
analyze historical events and evidence. WHH/WHAP is an opportunity for students to “do
history” and learn what it means to be a historian. Students will be introduced to the techniques
and methods used by historians to analyze historical events and evidence. You will read, and
by this I mean really read the textbook and other readings to delve for answers.
For an in-depth look at what the CollegeBoard considers part of this curriculum, please follow this
link. WHAP is an Advanced Placement level course – [that means it is taught at the collegiate
level: grades will be calculated on a 4.5 first semester and 5.0 scale 2nd semester]. Both courses
have an emphasis on the requirements for a collegiate level course: analytical writing and survey
level coverage of content, as well as primary and secondary source readings and analysis; also
students will learn to write argumentative historical essays.
Students are expected to complete assignments as they are given, by due dates assigned, in
order to keep up with the rigorous pace of the course. Sitting for a mock exam in late March or
early April [a Saturday or Sunday] is a requirement of the course. Students are required, by the
CCSD Board of Education Policy, to pay for and take the national test in the Spring [May 11th
2017].
WHH/WHAP is a college level, survey course of World History: students who enroll in WHAP
should expect a fairly heavy workload. There is about five – seven hours of homework per
week. If you do not procrastinate and if you pace yourself throughout the week, this
coursework will not be overwhelming. WHAP covers world history from 8,000 BCE to the
present. An emphasis is placed on interpreting documents, mastering a significant body of
factual information, and writing critical essays. WHAP fulfills the Ohio World History graduation
requirement. Students can expect a variety of teaching methodologies: reading, analysis,
guided discussion/lecture, student presentation, research, group collaboration, simulation,
large and small group discussion, videos, and Harkness Seminar. Summative Assessments
are also required at the completion of each unit and count as 50% of a student’s grade for
each quarter: (the plan is to have two to three summative assessments per quarter). An AP
World History workbook is a requirement: this will be discussed in more detail in class. Use
your Chromebook, charge it each night, and bring it to class daily!
In addition to the topics listed below, the course will emphasize a series of key themes
throughout the year It will focus on instruction through the development of four skill sets,
identified by the CollegeBoard as imperative to better understanding of history: chronological
reasoning; comparison and contextualization; crafting historical arguments from historical
evidence; and historical interpretation and synthesis. Each unit will build on a thematic approach
with the AP World History identified themes noted on the one page overview; as well as focus on
developing Critical Thinking Skills and Historical Thinking Skills: these themes have been
determined by the College Board as essential to a comprehensive study of World History. The
course will trace these themes throughout the year, emphasizing the ways in which they are
inter-connected and examining the ways in which each helps to shape the changes over time that
are so important to understanding United States history. Students are also expected to write
throughout the course. Students will be taught Short Answer Response expectations, the
Document Based Question (DBQ) (Evidence Based Response), and the Long Essay Question
(LEQ) writing processes; and you will write on multiple topics throughout the course. This course
is CollegeBoard Approved through the annual audit process of syllabus review by College
Professors hired by CollegeBoard.

A variety of historic primary and secondary selections from other resources [readings]
A wide variety of PBS and YouTube videos, as well as other historic content videos, are
assigned/used to facilitate student understanding of concepts/content covered in their weekly
reading. Other digital resources will be added throughout the course (check the Schoology
Resources folder)
Course Expectations:
Students will complete all assignments on time and participate in classroom activities and
discussions as prescribed by the course syllabus and as assigned by the course instructor.
The course instructor may adjust pacing and content as necessary for students within their
course. Students are expected to perform at the level of an Advanced Placement student; and
to prepare for the May 11th Advanced Placement Examination, which is a requirement of the
course. If, at any time, you are unable to complete a weekly chapter’s reading or another
assignment, you MUST contact Mrs. Coulter via email to explain the extenuating situation and
to propose a new time frame. As you can see by the schedule, getting behind, within a unit’s
readings, will place you at a disadvantage and make you a less effective team member on your
learning team. PACE yourself, do a little of the weekly reading assignments EVERYDAY,
rather than trying to CRAM on Sundays.
Students in WHH/WHAP are expected to adhere to the contract, work ethic, and honor code of
an Advanced Placement Student.
 Summer work will be completed by the first day of class.

within the guidelines defined in the student handbook. The grading for make-up work will follow
approved district grading and assessment guidelines. If this is a school excused activity [Cavalier
sport or other extra-curricular activities], I expect the assignment on my desk, or in turned in
through Google Classroom or Google share or Schoology prior to the missed day, or immediately
upon your return to school. If something happens, and you have an extended absence due to any
reason, PLEASE contact me, immediately, to facilitate assignment/collection of assignments.
Students who fall behind on weekly reading notes, in class assignments, or who need to make up
a unit assessment will be assigned to SHARP. This course requires self-motivation and good time
management skills.
Major Themes of the Course
These themes are woven throughout unit discussions, within assessments (quizzes, essays,
and exams) being structured around them:
 Interactions between Humans and Environment {ENV}
 Development and Interaction of Cultures {CUL}
 State Building, Expansion, and Conflict {SB}
 Creation, Expansion, and Interaction of Economic Systems {ECON}
 Development and Transformation of Social Structures {SOC}
16
17
Focus Themes [CR5] (Understanding and Applying these themes will aid your comprehension of
World History!)
 Interactions between Humans and Environment {ENV}
Analysis of how the environment shaped human societies, and increasingly how human
societies have affected the environment.
 Development and Interaction of Cultures {CUL}
Analysis of the origins, uses, dissemination, and adaptation of ideas, beliefs, and
knowledge within and between societies: studying the dominant belief system(s) or
religions, philosophical interests, and technical and artistic approaches can reveal how
major societies view themselves and others. The ideas of diaspora and diffusion are
central to the exploration of this theme.
 State Building, Expansion, and Conflict {SB}
This explores the processes by which hierarchical systems of rule were constructed and
maintained, as well as the conflicts created by those processes. (e.g. kingdoms,
empires, nation-states) across time and space as well as the interactions among them.
 Creation, Expansion, and Interaction of Economic Systems {ECON}
A focus on the patterns and systems that human societies have developed as they
exploit their environments to produce, distribute, and consumed desired goods and
services across time and space. The development of labor systems, ideologies, and
patterns is integral to better understanding this theme.
 Development and Transformation of Social Structures {SOC}
An analysis of relationships among/between humans: societies develop ways of
grouping their members, norms/expectations for interactions, social stratification,
hierarchies, and the processes through which social categories, roles, and practices
were created, maintained, and transformed.
Each Unit will be accompanied by primary and/or secondary source reading assignments; students will
analyze each as HIPPO+ assignments and answer Critical Thinking questions.

Student Activities and Learning Experiences
In addition to exposing students to the historical content listed above, the AP course will also
train students to analyze and interpret primary sources, including documentary material, maps,
statistical tables, political cartoons, artworks, literature, and graphic evidence of historical
events. Students need to have an awareness of multiple interpretations of historic issues in
secondary sources. Students will be exposed to the concept of multiple causations and
changes over time, and should be able to compare developments or trends from one period to
another. Historical and Critical Thinking Skills will be strengthened and utilized. Discussion and
identification of Historic Context and Synthesis will be utilized throughout the course.
Students will learn to utilize Apps and 21st Century Technology skills on your Chromebook.
