AP World History Final - Be A Historian
During this year in AP World History I have told you what topics we were covering and determined how you would demonstrate your knowledge, understanding, and historical skills. You have examined questions of causation, comparison, continuity and change, and periodization. You have read primary and secondary sources, watched videos, and categorized information. You have shown your abilities in the form of notes, discussions, class activities, and essays. Yet, historians don’t just write essays, historians produce documentaries, movies and music; organize anthologies or write poetry, works of historical fiction, and oral histories; create photo essays, scrapbooks, time capsules, and museum exhibits.
FOR THE FINAL YOU GET TO BE THE HISTORIAN. You create the questions. You select how you demonstrate your historical knowledge. You present your findings to your classmates. Final Projects will be posted electronically to the course website below.
