About the AP World History: Modern Course

In AP World History: Modern, students investigate significant events, individuals, developments, and processes from 1200 to the present. Students develop and use the same skills, practices, and methods employed by historians: analyzing primary and secondary sources; developing historical arguments; making historical connections; and utilizing reasoning about comparison, causation, and continuity and change over time. The course provides six themes that students explore throughout the course in order to make connections among historical developments in different times and places: humans and the environment, cultural developments and interactions, governance, economic systems, social interactions and organization, and technology and innovation.
Historical Thinking Skills 
  1. Developments and Processes: Identify and explain historical developments and processes.
  2. Sourcing and Situation: Analyze sourcing and situation of primary and secondary sources.
  3. Claims and Evidence in Sources: Analyze arguments in primary and secondary sources.
  4. Contextualization: Analyze the contexts of historical events, developments, or processes.
  5. Making Connections: Using historical reasoning processes (comparison, causation, continuity and change), analyze patterns and connections between and among historical developments and processes.
  6. Argumentation: Develop an argument.
