    You'll find the United States AP World & US History course documents available for download at the bottom right. They have outlines of what is covered in the courses and also example assessment items. I'm going to use them this summer as I redesign our school's work programs. Even if you don't teach in the US they might be helpful.

▶ Inspiring Motivational Video: Cross the Line® (schools) - YouTube - 16 views

  •  
    I've used this during this school year to motivate and inspire my AP students, then I replay it every now and then to bring the motivation back. Kids really like it!!! I even made a bulletin board with the slogan on it and am having kids write on it what they are doing to "cross the line" to make it interactive!

World History Connected: EJournal of Learning and Teaching - 6 views

  •  
    Has articles and some source material links related to World History. The site (run out of University of Illinois, by the looks) has a strong focus on 'big history.' I hadn't encountered this term before; it seems to mean looking at history not through civilisations but rather periods or regions. If that description is wrong and someone could provide more accuracy on 'big history' that would be cool.

    World History Connected: The EJournal of Learning and Teaching [www.worldhistoryconnected.org] World history poses extraordinary demands upon those who teach it, challenging the talent of experienced instructors as well as to those new to the field.

For all these readers, WHC presents innovative classroom-ready scholarship, keeps readers up to date on the latest research and debates, presents the best in learning and teaching methods and practices, offers readers rich teaching resources, and reports on exemplary teaching. WHC is free worldwide. It is published by the University of Illinois Press, and its institutional home is Washington State University. Editors: Heather Streets, Washington State University and Tom Laichas, Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences. Associate Editor: Tim Weston, University of Colorado.

    Check out past issues by using the index key. The home page is always the current issue.

    The journal focuses on the New World History (looking at the world at a global scale across time) as opposed to the one civilization at a time approach. See the World History AP course description for an example of what this means: http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/ap/students/worldhistory/ap-cd-worldhist-0708.pdf David, as an Australian you are at Ground Zero of Big History since its leader is an Australian = David Christian. Christian's _Maps of Time: An Introduction to Big History_ is the one book to read on the subject. This article well covers it: http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/whc/3.1/christian.html Google David Christian, Big History for more
  •  
    Again, the journal is not specifically focused on Big History but on the New World History, but it did have one issue on Big History as its forum: http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.3/ More links than you probably want here about Big History: http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.3/maunu2.html This month's forum is on Latin America. Other forums range the gamut of world history.

David Hilton on Scribd - 10 views

    I've uploaded a few documents related to Habits of Mind in AP World History to my Scribd page. Does anyone else use Habits of Mind in their teaching? My school is implementing it next year and I'd be very interested in learning from the experiences of others. 
  •  
    Yes my school has been using Dimensions of Learning for the last three years. Keep an eye out for Art Costa who comes out from the States to inservice teachers in Brisbane on Habits of Mind. I really enjoyed my day with him. Very practical stuff. If you are interested you can join a learning hub; go to http://www.nsn.net.au/habits_of_mind_hub This link is a some what old but you can join and receive email updates on various events they are running.

    Thanks Louise. I'll check it out.

Harry Potter British/American text comparison - 15 views

  •  
    Probably kind of out there, but if you teach AP Human Geography and need a current visual for comparing British to American English for the "Language" chapter - this site has a comparison of the British and American Versions of the first Harry Potter novel (so it's current for the kids and something they have a connection to)

Pilgrims and Progress: How Magazines Made Thanksgiving - 4 views

  •  
    This academically rigorous article may be beyond even the highest functioning AP US History students. But all teachers will find this article aiming a question directly at their curriculum - Do you teach a myth as a cultural affirmation? The essay argues that "traveling home to turkey and all the trimmings was "invented", not in 17th century Massachusetts, but in 19th century Philadelphia in the pages of the nation's most widely circulated magazines and in respond to the changing American scene. Two hundred years after the Pilgrims' quit commemorations, Thanksgiving developed a uniform national profile, impelled by its promoters ideas about republican identity, ideas diffused by a publishing industry with increasingly national reach"
