Historical Thinking Skills and the 9 Habits of the Mind:

This year you as AP students will be thinking as young historians. Although facts and information are important to a

historian’s work, they are only significant to the extent of having practical, historical skills that help make the

information useful. Informative fact void of these skills is meaningless and trivial. More than building knowledge of

history this year, we will be working of developing the following 9 habits of the mind to help prepare you to think

critically not only about historical content but also the world around you:

- Appropriate use of relevant evidence

- Argumentation

- Causation

- Patterns of Continuity and Change over Time

- Periodization

- Comparison

- Contextualization

- Interpretation

- Synthesis

Themes of AP World History:

Covering the entire history of Homo Sapiens in less than one academic year is an absolutely daunting task. To make

this more feasibly possible we will look at history from a “big picture.” The College Board has assisted in this by

emphasizing important themes that must be analyzed in all eras of humankind. This will help as both a means to

compare multiple complex societies within or between different periods. Just remember this “SPICE” pneumonic

device:

Social (Development and transformation of social structures)-

- Gender roles and relations

- Family and kinship

- Racial and ethnic constructions

- Social and economic classes

Political (State-building, expansion, and conflict)-

- Political structures and forms of governance

- Empires

- Nations and nationalism

- Revolts and revolutions

- Regional, trans-regional, and global structures and organizations

Imprinting (of humans on the environment)-

- Demography and disease

- Migration

- Patterns of settlement

- Technology

Cultural (Development and interaction of cultures)

- Religions

- Belief systems, philosophies, and ideologies

- Science and technology

- The arts and architecture

Economic (Creation, expansion, and interaction of economic systems)

- Agricultural and pastoral production

- Trade and commerce

- Labor systems

- Industrialization

- Capitalism and socialism

Periodization and AP World History:

Using the skills and themes mentioned above, students of history must also understand the flow of the “story” of

history. This comes in the form of cause and effect in history. To help simplify this the College Board has

emphasized certain periods in history and their relative significance to the overall global understanding desired as an

end result of this class. Although we will be working on developing our own categorization of periods in history, the

following are the periods delineated by the College Board:
