AP WORLD HISTORY SUMMER MASTERY COURSE!

Starts

Hi everyone! My name is Ameenah, and I’m so excited to guide you through this AP World History journey. My goal is to make sure you don’t just complete the course, you master it with confidence and ease, and gain a 5 on the national exam.

This course is designed to set you up for success, whether you’re getting a head start over the summer or jumping in during the school year. We’ll meet twice a week:
✅ One session to dive deep into the content of each unit
✅ One session to focus on practicing Free-Response Questions (FRQs) just like the ones you’ll see on the AP exam

Here's what we'll explore together:
🌏 Unit 3: Land-Based Empires – Discover how powerful empires rose, ruled, expanded, and sometimes fell.

🌊 Unit 4: Transoceanic Interconnections – See how exploration, trade, and cultural exchange reshaped the world forever.

🔥 Unit 5: Revolutions – From political revolutions to social upheavals, we’ll explore how people challenged the status quo and reshaped societies.

⚙️ Unit 6: Consequences of Industrialization – Dive into the rapid changes, innovations, and global impacts sparked by the Industrial Revolution.

⚔️ Unit 7: Global Conflict – Unpack the causes, events, and consequences of the World Wars and major 20th-century conflicts.

🕊️ Unit 8: Cold War & Decolonization – Examine the tensions, rivalries, and independence movements that shaped the modern world.

🌐 Unit 9: Globalization – Understand how the world became increasingly connected and how those connections influence us today.

Together, we’ll break down each topic in a fun, manageable way, and I’ll make sure you feel fully prepared for both the content and the writing skills you need to crush the AP exam.

Let's have fun together all whilst studying and preparing for your next exam. This will be a fun trivia game (Kahoot, Blooket, or possibly Gimkit) to study. :)
Feel free to join as a co-host and host your own sessions in this series or request extra sessions. :)
This is fun to join even if you aren't currently taking any history classes as it will be a fun trivia.

Naval History (Full Course)

12th session

Naval History...

Okay, I know what you're thinking:
"WDYM BY NAVAL HISTORY OR SOMETHING?!"

Explanation/What is it?
Naval history, often referred to as NH, encompasses the study of naval battles and the evolution of ships, including significant events like the Pearl Harbor bombing. This field plays a vital role in preserving the rich legacy of naval exploits and strategies. In the Navy, there is a dedicated course called American Naval History that delves into crucial American maritime events while also touching on naval histories from other countries during World Wars I and II. This study not only focuses on major historical events but also examines specific vessels, allowing enthusiasts to engage in online shipbuilding simulations. By exploring both the broader context and intricate details of naval history, we gain a deeper understanding of its impact on human and foreign affairs. Ultimately, it can be seen as both a historical overview and a detailed analysis of past human endeavors at sea.


Where is it taught?
Some high schools offer it as an exemplary course in History, similar to enrolling in classes like the Salem Witch Trials or Medieval History. After 2020, due to COVID-19, many history courses were largely neglected and forgotten, except for two major ones: Medieval and Roman history. Most high schools that do teach such courses are located in states bordering the capital or near a port, often including trips to harbors for naval ship history.

Benefits:
- If you need an extra History credit to graduate and think other classes are too difficult, and your school offers this course, it can provide easy credits (usually high schools will award between 0.5 to 1.5 History and Tech credits depending on GT/AP/HN).

- If you're taking this course right now, congratulations! We’ll likely move at a quicker pace than your class, which means you’ll have the opportunity to work on projects in advance. You can then easily adapt and incorporate those projects into your school assignments.

- I will provide a completion certificate for this course. While it may not hold significant value, you can choose to add it to your record or transcript as proof that you took this course outside of school for fun. You never know—having this certificate could potentially improve your chances of being accepted into a college, especially for Naval-related studies.

- It's a fun class that is quite interactive. One of the units allows you to research a ship of your choice, and you can present your findings through a video, slides, or even a game, as long as you understand the main points about it.
