World History
About the Workshop
The APWH course focuses on helping students develop and apply nine, specific historical thinking skills, rather than concentrating primarily on memorization - although some is required, of course. These are the same nine historical thinking skills used in APUSH and AP® European History.
A wide variety of active learning lessons will be presented that require use of multiple APWH historical thinking skills and reflect many of the 60+ key and supporting APWH concepts.
Lessons include: data, map, art, and photos analysis; scored discussions; historical problem solving; debates; practice essay outline and thesis writing; participation in Indian Ocean and Silk Roads trade activities; and computer labs. This will be an active section, so please plan to collaborate with colleagues and participate.
