COURSE DESCRIPTION
AP® World History: Modern is designed to be the equivalent of a two-semester introductory college modern world history course. In this course, students investigate, discuss, and analyze significant events, individuals, developments, and processes from approximately 1200 CE to the present. Students cultivate the skills used by historians when they analyze historical sources, make connections and comparisons, and craft historical arguments. The course is designed around six themes: humans and the environment, cultural developments and interactions, governance, economic systems, social interactions and organization, and technology and innovation. By the end of this course, students will be able to explain the complex challenges of today through the lens of historical events, have improved their analytical and evaluative writing skills, and have gained the necessary skills for success on the AP® World History: Modern Exam in May.

WHAT STUDENTS DO
Learning is an active process at One Schoolhouse. Students design, create and apply. And, they engage with classmates and connect with their teachers through discussions, video conferences, and projects. Specifically, in this class students will:
  • Set goals that drive their learning. Students reflect regularly on their growth, and meet on video chat with their online teacher to review progress towards their goals.
  • Have choice in how they learn new content and practice new skills. Students are given agency to determine the best ways for them to learn.
  • Apply what they are learning to the real world. Learning is meaningful and connects to concepts outside the classroom.
  • Practice constructive engagement in a diverse and changing world. Students interact with classmates from across the country and around the world.
  • Gain academic maturity. Online learning takes greater discipline and independence than a traditional face-to-face classroom. Teachers support students to build this skill.
