AP* World History
This year is going to be a lot of work but if you take it seriously and work hard, then the end result will be 6 college credits and a head start into the world of college learning.  I will be working to make this class as interactive, fun and interesting, but this is not a one sided effort. You MUST DO YOUR PART. This site will help with your at home preparation.

 

These are some sheets that sum up the time periods. We have placed these reviews up early so you have an idea as to what we are going to work on throughout the year. This will also allow you to get a head start on some areas that you might want to look at.
Every link and worksheet on the website is DIFFERENT and all will help you refresh your knowledge on the most important areas of world history.
