How to Survive AP World History














As a final extra credit option, students will have the opportunity to create a video on how to approach AP World History.  If the video is done well in terms of the content it covers and has a good production value, then I will show it in class next year to the newly arrived sophomores.  Some sample topics you could cover in your video include (but are not limited to): summer reading, note-taking, writing the DBQ/COMP/COT essays, guided readings, reading the textbook, using the class website, handling group projects, Saturday/Morning/Afternoon study sessions, traveling abroad, quizzes, test-taking, etc.  Click here to access a video created for another school that provides a good example of what I'm looking for.  Videos must be posted to YouTube with a link sent to Mr. Benschine at benschinef@fultonschools.org by Thursday, May 22nd if students wish to earn credit.  Quality videos will be awarded up to 10 extra credit test points.
