AP World History Curriculum Map

Everything you need for a smooth transition into the new school year is here for you. First day slides, course overview, introduction to course themes, group activities, foundation geography for the AP course, and more. 

If you need to provide some foundational instruction that precedes the official course start date of 1200 CE, you'll find those lessons here. Lecture slides with guided notes refresh students on pre-1200 world history while focusing on a thematic approach. 

Slides with guided notes are tightly aligned to the CED so all required content is covered without going to far beyond the scope of the course. In this unit, you'll also see an introduction to the exam-style MCQ and the SAQ. Activities to support instruction include readings, primary source activities, vocabulary, graphic organizers, a review scavenger hunt, thesis writing, and more. Finish up the unit with a ready-to-go Unit 1 exam that introduces many of the skills students will work on building during the year as you prep them for the AP exam.
