Pre-AP World History

     Consultant: Bobette Hewgley

• Westwood HS, Round Rock, Tx
• 20 years in education
• Masters degree in political science; College Board Consultant for eight years
• Taught A.P. European History, A.P Government, Pre –AP World History, Pre-IB World Area Studies

The focus is to assist Pre-AP teachers with strategies and lessons that will help them prepare students for a seamless transition from a foundation-setting Pre-AP course to successful performance in Advanced Placement courses.  Sessions will utilize a wide variety of world history lesson/curriculum.

Topics include document-based questions, formula based essay writing,  point of view and categorization exercises which enhance interpretive analytical skills, discussion/debate strategies dealing with controversial subjects etc. Specific historical topics will also include women, disease, technology, art, government, religion, exploration, and cultures around the globe which have impacted the human story.

My goal is to provide teachers with a storehouse of activities that can be immediately used in the classroom.

Targeted toward experienced, as well as inexperienced teachers.

You should bring a favorite lesson to share.
