Updated Source to Get a 5

My students need these books because our school cannot purchase updated textbooks as of yet, so having a single copy of all three of these books will allow them to access more up-to-date material.

My Students

My AP World History classroom is a place where I strive to make history come alive to students. They are a great group of students from a mostly urban and some suburban setting. They work hard and are striving to do their best in all they do.

Mark Twain once stated: "History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme", I want my student to recognize that rhyme of history when they see it.

I want history to become so alive to them they see it not repeating but playing out in a similar beat and rhythm and are thus able to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow but see how they were rightly or wrongly dealt with yesterday.

My Project

This next year I am going to be teaching AP World History and will be challenging my students on a daily basis.My students are entering this class expecting to be prepared for taking the AP text next spring ready do their best. I currently have a textbook for each of my students to use on a daily basis. However, it is close to a decade old and this book has gone through at least two updates that mirror major changes in the AP World History test design since it was purchased.

My students are highly motivated and providing them access to the best materials will help them to achieve the greatness of which they are capable.

These updated textbooks and the primary source book will do just that for them. It will assist me in putting them in the best position to not only pass but score at the top on the AP test next Spring!
