determine whether a more recent course and exam description is available.  \nCourse Framework Components  \nOverview  \nThis course framework provides a description of what students should know and be able to do to qualify for college credit or placement.  \nThe course framework includes two essential components:  \n1 HISTORICAL THINKING SKILLS AND  \nREASONING PROCESSES  \nThe historical thinking skills and reasoning processes are central to the study and practice of world history. Students should practice and develop these skills and processes on a regular basis over the span of the course.  \n2 COURSE CONTENT  \nThe course content is organized into commonly taught units of study that provide a suggested sequence for the course. These units comprise the content and conceptual understandings that colleges and universities typically expect students to master to qualify for college credit and/or placement. This content is grounded in themes, which are cross-cutting concepts that build conceptual understanding and spiral throughout the course.  \nAP World History: Modern Course and Exam Description Course Framework V.1 | 11  \nReturn to Table of Contents  \n© 2020 College Board  \n1  \nAP WORLD HISTORY  \nHistorical Thinking Skills and Reasoning Processes  \nThis section presents the historical thinking skills and reasoning processes that students should develop during the AP history courses that form the basis of the tasks on theAP history exams.  \nHistorical Thinking Skills  \nThe AP historical thinking skills describe what students should be able to do while exploring course concepts. The table that follows presents these skills, which students should develop during the AP World History course.  \nThe unit guides later in this publication embed and spiral these skills throughout the course, providing teachers with one way to integrate the skills into the course content with sufficient repetition to prepare students to transfer those skills when taking the AP Exam.  \nMore detailed information about teaching the historical thinking skills can be found in the Instructional Approaches section of this publication.  \nAP World History: Modern Course and Exam Description Course Framework V.1 | 13  \nReturn to Table of Contents  \n© 2020 College Board  \nAP World History : Modern Course and Exam Description  \nReturn to Table of Contents  \n© 2020 College Board  \nCourse Framework V. 1  \n14  \n AP Historical Thinking Skills  \nSkill 1  \nDevelopments and Processes  1   \nIdentify and explain historical developments and processes.  \nSkill 2  \nSourcing and Situation  2   \nAnalyze sourcing and situation of primary and secondary sources.  \nSkill 3  \nClaims and Evidence in Sources  3   \nAnalyze arguments in primary and secondary sources.  \nSkill 4  \nContextualization  4   \nAnalyze the context of historical events, developments, or processes.  \nSkill 5  \nMaking  \nConnections  5   \nUsing historical reasoning processes (comparison, causation, continuity and change), analyze patterns and connections between and among historical developmentsand processes.  \nSkill 6  \nArgumentation  6   \nDevelop an argument.  \nSKILLS  \n 1.A Identify a historical concept, development, or process.  \n 1.B  Explain a historical concept, development, or process.  \n 2.A Identify a source’s point of view, purpose, historical situation, and/or audience.  \n 2.B  Explain the point of view, purpose, historical situation, and/ or audience of a source.  \n 2.C Explain the significance of a source’s point of view, purpose, historical situation, and/ or audience, including how these might limit the use(s) of a source.  \n 3","cbCaiex5QEMIvP7l","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiex5QEMIvP7l","pdf",3706632,14,"English","# Course Framework Components\n## Overview\n## Historical Thinking Skills and Reasoning Processes\n## Course Content","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the AP World History: Modern course framework?\",\"answer\":\"It describes what students should know and be able to do to qualify for college credit or placement.\"},{\"question\":\"Which two essential components does the course framework include?\",\"answer\":\"Historical Thinking Skills and Reasoning Processes, and Course Content.\"},{\"question\":\"How is course content organized in the framework?\",\"answer\":\"It is organized into commonly taught units that follow a suggested sequence and is grounded in cross-cutting themes that spiral throughout the course.\"}]","AP World History: Modern - Course and Exam Description - Effective Fall 2020 | PDF",1789902953,35]
