3. Expectations for the year.
In broad terms:
Why we are here in AP World History?
To learn about the 10,000 years of human history from a global perspective while putting ourselves in the shoes of those we study. This is not a history class devoted to big events and big names. But rather Change and Continuity, Comparison, and Historical Context. We will learn to do the work of a historian. This includes a lot of writing and you will improve as a writer more this year than any other year of school.
What I expect:
Very hard work and daily improvement.
Our Goal:
Pass the AP Exam on Thursday, May 17, 2018.
3. Who Are You?
WHO ARE YOU?
