Major Concepts/Content
The AP World History course offers motivated students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the process that, over time, have resulted in the knitting of the word into a tightly integrated whole. The course highlights six themes that allow the students, throughout the course, to make comparisons, construct and evaluate arguments, assess issues of change and continuity, handle diverse interpretations through analysis of context, bias and frame of reference, and using documents and primary data in developing the skills necessary to analyze point of view, context, and bias. These themes will cover 4 chronological periods from approximately 100 AD to the present with careful preparations in terms of previous developments known as the Foundations segment. The themes include: Impact of interaction among major societies, the relationship of change and continuity, Impact of technology and demography on people and environment, systems of social structure and gender structure, cultural and intellectual developments, changes in functions and structures of states and attitudes toward states and political identities.
