Looking back to the prehistoric times, students will develop the connections between the early river valleys, the beginnings of civilizations, and governments.

The second semester of this course is a continuation of the first semester, starting with how Europe evolved from the colonies being brought into the New World. This course will continue to make connections between nations and look at the big picture concepts of the world until present day. This semester will also spend time preparing specifically for the AP exam. Through review materials and practicing skills needed for the AP exam, students will work on being prepared for the exam.
