J1411: World History: Crossroads of Tradition and Change in Junction Summer 2008 (Jun. 30, 2008)
"History is a search for light on the nature and destiny of man," historian Arnold Toynbee once wrote. In this fast-paced survey of world history, we'll begin from Mesopotamia and work our way towards the Cold War and the Nuclear Era. The focus of the class will not be geared towards memorizing dates, places, and names - but rather an ongoing discussion on change and continuity over the centuries. Emphasis will especially be placed on development of different continents and people groups and their interactions. Taught with experience from taking all three history AP exams (with scores of 5 on all of them), this course would also prepare students for the AP World History exam to a significant extent. Vocabulary sheets and AP review material will be included in the handouts.
