MLHS-Advanced Placement European History

Advanced Placement European History Course Description & Philosophy

At Mountain Lakes, we offer three specific HISTORY courses in AP: AP European History, AP United States History, and AP World History. As in the other two courses, AP European History focuses on helping students develop historical thinking skills while they learn the required course content in European history. Staying true to the recent CollegeBoard revisions in each of these courses, AP European History has course themes that foster deep analysis by making connections and comparisons across different topics. AP European History focuses on developing students' abilities to think conceptually about European history from approximately 1450 (the Renaissance) to the present and apply historical thinking skills as they learn about the past. The specific periods that students will explore in AP European History include the following:

• Period 1: c. 1450 to c. 1648 • Period 2: c. 1648 to c. 1815 • Period 3: c. 1815 to c. 1914 • Period 4: c. 1914 to the present

Within each period, key concepts organize and prioritize historical developments. Themes allow students to make connections and identify patterns and trends over time. Beginning with the 2016 exam, these five themes are (a) interaction of Europe and the World, (b) Poverty and Prosperity, (c) Objective Knowledge and Subjective Visions, (d) States and Other Institutions of Power, and (e) Individual and Society. These themes provide areas of historical inquiry for investigation throughout the course. So, how do students apply these themes to the course content in each period? The answer is simple: utilizing of the CollegeBoard’s official Historical Thinking Skills framework. The historical thinking skills provide opportunities for students to learn to think like historians, most notably to analyze evidence about the past and to create persuasive historical arguments. This course will focus on these practices, enabling us to create learning opportunities for students that emphasize the conceptual and interpretive nature of history. Although you can find an extended description of the framework in the appendix, please know that the skills our students will be utilizing include the following: (a) Chronological Reasoning, (b) Comparison and Contextualization, (c) Crafting Historical Arguments from Historical Evidence, and (d) Historical Interpretation and Synthesis. In conclusion, the curriculum is written as it will be taught: chronologically. Yet, it is important to note that students will be studying the content thematically by utilizing historical thinking skills. Text Reference:

Using Move Note, an interactive way for students to film themselves with an image, students will choose one southern piece of art and one northern piece. Using the artwork, the student will compare and contrast the values and ideals of the society that produced them. Be sure to make note of the artist’s purpose, point of view and intended audience, but don’t dress up like Sister Wendy, please!

Students will have the choice in medium on how to express their view. Unit 2: The Reformation & Wars of Religion Essential Questions: What roles have traditional sources of authority (church and classical antiquity) played in the creation and transmission of knowledge?

21st Century Skills: Art Appreciation As part of this unit, students will complete portions of the CollegeBoard lesson: German Unification which focuses on the musical works of Richard Wagner as a musical expression of 19th-‐century German nationalism.

Ethics/Character Ed: Students will create a “character ed” program for a 19th-‐century school based on one of the “Isms” from the unit. A student may choose to create a model program from the eyes of a liberal, conservative, socialist, or Marxist. The program must have a cover, an “author’s bio” and a one-‐page summary describing the character education program. You can use the CollegeBoard Marxism lesson as a resource. Unit 9: 19th-‐Century Socio-‐Economics and Cultural Trends at the Fin-‐de-‐Siecle Essential Questions: How has the organization of society changed as a result of or in response to the development and spread of capitalism? What were the causes and consequences of economic and social inequality? How did individuals, groups, and the state respond to economic and social inequality? How did civil institutions like business and industry develop apart from governments, and what impact have they had upon European states? Objectives: Students will be able to:

and then an even more robust consumer economy. • Explain how geographic, economic, social, and political factors affected the pace, nature, and timing of industrialization in western

and famine, through regulating morals, policing marginal populations, and improving public health. • Explain how industrialization elicited critiques from artists, socialists, workers’ movements, and feminist organizations. • Analyze efforts of government and nongovernmental reform movements to respond to poverty and other social problems in the

traditional aesthetics. • Assess the role of colonization, the Industrial Revolution, warfare, and economic instability in altering the government’s

relationship to the economy, both in overseeing economic activity and in addressing its social impact. • Analyze how various movements for political and social equality — such as feminism, anticolonialism, and campaigns for

immigrants’ rights — pressured governments and redefined citizenship.
