Welcome APWHiz Kids!!
Advanced Placement World History ("APWH") is a thematic, college-level course designed to familiarize students with the broad patterns of the human experience. Students will concentrate on:
Students are charged with the role of historian, and will engage in activities that encourage critical thinking and that hone their ability to debate established historical interpretations and to express their educated views using primary source documents.
Throughout the academic year, students will actively compare cultures and look for historical patterns that stretch across units and tie all human populations together throughout history, resulting in a further understanding of the global village and current globalization trends.
The culmination of this course is the AP World History Exam, which has the potential to award studetns with college credit for successfully demonstrating their superior understanding of the past, the present and the world's foreseeable future relationships. |
