AP World History Themes
1-Impact of interaction among major societies (trade, systems of international exchange, war, and diplomacy)
2-The relationship of change and continuity across the world history periods covered in this course.
3-Impact of technology and demography on people and the environment (population growth and decline, disease, manufacturing, migrations, agriculture, weaponry)
4-Systems of social structure and gender structure (comparing major features within and among societies and assessing change)
5-Cultural and intellectual developments and interactions among and within societies
6-Changes in functions and structures of states and in attitudes toward states and political identities (political culture), including the emergence of the nation-
state (types of political organization).
Each of your papers must address two themes, using all 6 by the final paper. There are 6 “Glasses”, so you will, by your final paper have used each theme twice. These
papers should not exceed 3 pages plus a citation page. Your paper will include: General ideas/themes of the Glass (importance, impact on world history), types of
evidence used (artifacts, documents, speeches…), and then you will synthesize the “Big Picture” themes of the Glass with the two themes of AP World History. You will
want to use specific information when “proving” your interpretation of the “Glass” and theme.
Opening paragraph: Discuss the theme of the Glass, which two AP themes you will examine, and why you feel these two themes are the best for this Glass (this is your
thesis).
Your introduction must include a thesis statement. A thesis statement has an argument, and is specific in laying out what it is you are going to discuss. In this
introduction paragraph you present at least three supports for your argument, thus explaining to the reader the direction you plan to go in the paper.
Paragraph 1-Discuss the Big Picture ideas of the Glass, major themes, civilizations, changes and continuities through the Glass.
Paragraph 2-Theme and your synthesis
Paragraph 3-Theme and your synthesis
Paragraph 4-Types of evidence used in the book
Paragraph 5-6- for all Glasses after the 1st, change and continuity from previous Glass
(Please use Beer from the book for paragraphs 5-6)
Paragraph 7-Conclusion
