Course Outline

AP European History is a college-level survey of the history of the continent from 1450-1990.

Units will be staggered by region (UK / Ireland; France; Germany; Eastern Europe; the Mediterranean; Spain; Low Countries & Scandinavia) and by era (1450-1600; 1600-1700; 1700-1850; 1850-1910; 1910-1950; 1950-1990).

Students will read and blog regularly producing responses to AP-style Document Based Questions. The course has no textbook and is very dependent upon authentic primary sources. Students will write a college-level term paper due by the end of 3rd quarter. All students will take the AP European History exam.

Students will be working online on a daily basis throughout the course and therefore must have an operable device/computer. Students are expected to adhere to the highest levels of digital citizenship online; any issues that arise would be addressed by the Dean of Students.
