AP World History Update

Welcome to week 27!

This past week we completed Unit 8 and are moving right into our final unit, Unit 9! We’ve only two more chapters to go through and we will have gotten through all the content we will need to for the AP exam in May. Once we’ve completed the content, we’ll start skilling and drilling the specific areas of the AP exam the students will encounter so as to prepare them for the rigors of the exam.

The current chapter (22) is set up more thematically than chronologically, like many other chapters of this textbook are. This is going to be helpful with students understanding these larger topics related to globalization in the twentieth century. This chapter focuses on how new technologies bring the world and the global economy closer together, along with the effects and reactions to those events.

What’s new with Mr. Dudek?
Busy as a bee. I finally finished putting up the hanging shelves in my garage, put up the wall mount for a TV in the bedroom, put together the basketball hoop for my son, took my daughter to dance class, and took the family to the Phoenix Zoo (during which time I ran into THE Aaron Chesko, marking the first time this year I’ve bumped into a student outside of school).

Have a terrific week Roadrunners!
Mr. Dudek
