Welcome to AP European History
AP European History is a challenging college-level course that covers the political, diplomatic, social, economic, intellectual, and cultural history of Europe from the Renaissance to the present. Besides covering the relevant historical facts from these eras, the course investigates the major themes important to each time period through analysis and discussion of many different types of primary and secondary sources.
During the year, you will be provided with the opportunity to examine primary sources, such as documentary material, pictorial and graphic materials, maps, political cartoons, statistical tables, and works of art. In addition, you will be provided with exposure to both to factual narrative and to the interpretations of European history from the perspectives of a variety of different writers and historians. Historiography is the history of history. You will be examining how people have thought about and written about historical events over the course of time. You will also be provided with the opportunity to develop your analytical and interpretive writing skills, practicing both document-based and thematic free response style essays often, and writing at least one essay in every unit. All students are encouraged to sit the AP exam in the spring.
