Course
Overview
The study of European History from 1450 to the
present introduces students to cultural, economic,
political and social developments that played
a fundamental role in shaping the world in which
they live. The goals of the AP European History
program are to develop an understanding of some
of the principal themes in modern European history,
an ability to analyze historical evidence and
historical interpretation, and an ability to
express historical understanding in writing.
Students enrolled in a course designated as
Advanced Placement are expected to take the
exam. It is the expectation that all
students enrolled in European History AP will
take the A.P. Exam.
A project is required for each term. The Term
One project is introductory. The project is
intended to familiarize students with the political,
social, economic and artistic aspects of Renaissance
Italy and provide background information to
enrich understanding of the course. It is available
to students in June so they have the option
of completing it during the summer. See Term
One Project for more information about the
project and due dates.
The required project in term two is a culminating
project. Preparing for and taking the European
History AP Exam satisfies this project. Any
student who opts NOT to take the exam will complete
a project similar to the term one project. Studentschoosing
this option will read Sophie's World
and complete a study guide. The study guide
will be submitted to the teacher by the end
of the second week of May.
