Course Description
This course places attention upon understandings equivalent to those gained in a college-level introductory course. Emphasis is on the
th
general narrative of European history from 14 century to the recent past; the study also includes an examination of the political and
diplomatic, intellectual and cultural, and social and economic history of Europe.
Students will evaluate, discuss, and analyze themes in modern European history. The course requires a large amount of reading and
classroom discussion that leads to a greater understanding of European history. By registering for this course students are
expected to take the AP European History Exam.
The AP European History Exam
The examination is three hours and five minutes in length. It consists of a 55 minute multiple choice section and a 130-minute free
response section. The multiple-choice section accounts for 50% of the total exam score. The free response section accounts for the
other 50% of the exam; document based essay questions (DBQ’s) account for 45% and two free response essays (FRQ’s) 55%.
The multiple-choice section consists of 80 questions designed to measure the student’s knowledge of European history from the High
Renaissance to the present. Section two, the free response section, begins with a mandatory 15 minute reading period followed by
Part A, in which students are required to answer a document based essay question (DBQ) in 45 minutes. In Part B, students are asked
to answer two thematic questions in 70 minutes. Students choose one essay from two groups of three essays; they will be advised to
spend five minutes planning and 30 minutes writing each of their thematic essays.
AP EUROPEAN HISTORY EXAM – FRIDAY, MAY 9, 2008 beginning at 11:30 a.m. at Eastview High School
"If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse: however, if I treat you
as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I will help you become that."

How to be Successful in AP European History
1.
READ EVERY NIGHT! The reading homework can quickly become unmanageable if you don't keep up with the schedule. The best strategy is to
block time to read every night so that you are always prepared for class and the material is understood and learned. Rome wasn't built in a day
and the same applies to your knowledge of European history.
2. As you read LOOK UP WORDS YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH. Write these words down in your study guide and/or notebook. The writers of the
AP European History Exam expect you to have a college-level vocabulary. It's your job to develop your vocabulary.
3. ASK QUESTIONS in class when you are confused or struggling to understand - chances are others would like clarification as well.
4. TAKE NOTES as you read and during the lectures in class. Be an active reader and note-taker, ask questions and summarize as you go AND
review when you are finished. The text cannot be read as a novel – you MUST be engaged in the reading.
5. BUDGET YOUR TIME thoughtfully - don't underestimate the amount of time you need to do your reading and complete assignments.
6. Form small STUDY GROUPS to review for tests and make sure that when you get together that you stay on task.
7. REVIEW past chapters as we go through the course - it will continuously help you to see and understand the big picture of history.
8. THINK OF HISTORY as a story unfolding for you throughout the year. Become intrigued in the personal stories, emotional battles, exciting ideas,
amazing accomplishments, disheartening (and sometimes humorous) failures, and the fascinating and often strange personalities of the people we
are studying.
9. STAY ORGANIZED - purchase four 3-ring binders (one for each term) and dividers to organize your study guides, notes, essays, articles, and
other materials by chapter as we advance throughout the year. When it comes time to review in the spring you'll have everything at the ready and
your review time will be more purposeful.
10. BE IN CLASS - everything we do every day has purpose. When you are not in class you are indeed missing something important - a step along
the journey.
11. PREPARE for tests appropriately - if you are in the habit of "cramming" the night before the test, you will be disappointed with your results in this
class - you must read each night. There is just far too much content to "cram." Be persistent; read and prepare each night - it's a college-level
course.
12. ASK FOR HELP if you need it - perhaps with your writing or in preparing for exams; it's important that you talk with your teacher.

AP EUROPEAN HISTORY - EUROPE TOUR 2008
Each year, AP European History students are afforded the opportunity
to bring their studies to life with a spring break trip to Europe. We’ll
depart on Thursday, March 20, 2008 for London, Paris, and Madrid.
Imagine, after all you have learned about European history exploring
the great cities of London, Paris, and Madrid with your friends – visit
Big Ben and the British Houses of Parliament while riding the “London
Eye.” While in Paris of course we’ll see the iconic landmark – the Eiffel
Tower; we’ll also walk the halls of the Louvre as well as the cathedral
of Notre Dame. Finally, we’ll see the best of Madrid including the
Prado museum, and we’ll cap it off with a visit to Toledo to explore its
historical and cultural treasures!

DAY 4: EUROSTAR - PARIS A morning journey
aboard the Eurostar brings you across southern
England and through the Channel Tunnel to Paris.
Journey time is just three hours. Afternoon
sightseeing shows you the city’s impressive
monuments—from Notre Dame Cathedral and
the Arc de Triomphe to the most famous of all,
the Eiffel Tower.
DAY 5: PARIS This morning use your ACIS

afternoon trip to Louis XIV’s Versailles includes
the Hall of Mirrors. This evening enjoy an optional

Paris. We suggest you begin on the Île de la Cité
and admire the wondrous stained glass windows
at Sainte-Chapelle.

and Velazquez. This afternoon you may want to take a walk through the Royal Palace or wander to Puerta del Sol, the hub of the city
and the center of the main pedestrian shopping area.

DAY 9: MADRID A full day’s journey to Spain’s old capital of Toledo is included. Visit the Church of Santo Tomé, the treasures of
the Gothic Cathedral and the Medieval Synagogue before returning to Madrid for some last minute shopping. Lunch is included today
instead of dinner. How about trying a variety of traditional tapas this evening?
DAY 10: Depart for Minneapolis.
“I would never again be the same. This is the magic of travel. Any travel. You leave your home secure in your own knowledge
and identity. But as you travel, the world in all its richness intervenes. You meet people you could not invent; you see scenes you
could not imagine. Your own world, which was so large as to consume your whole life, becomes smaller and smaller until it is
only one tiny dot in time and space… You return a different person.”
-Kent Nerburn, Letters To My Son.

Socratic Seminars
One requirement of this class is that you participate
in Socratic Seminars each term, as scheduled in the
syllabus.
A Socratic Seminar is an in-depth
discussion in class, in which we will try to
understand the concepts, ideas, and values of some
of the most significant documents from European
history.
The seminars take their name from
Socrates, who taught his students through the art of
conversation and through posing difficult questions
for them to expand their minds.
There are several purposes for the seminars in this
course. The first is to do some in-depth analysis of
some of the most important, influential, or
controversial documents in European history. This
will also help to prepare you for the AP exam, where
you will need to do your own analysis and
interpretation of primary source documents.
Additionally, these seminars will help you to improve
your listening and discussion skills, to become more
actively involved in your learning, to think more
clearly and critically, to learn from your classmates,
and to take responsibility for in-class discussion.
Students stop for lunch at a cafe in Paris – June, 2003
Field Trip Experience
We plan to take one field trip experience during this course. Listed below is a brief description and stated purpose of the experience:
Spring 2008 - Field trip experience to St. Paul's Cathedral and the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The purpose of this field trip is to
review, examine, and analyze the architecture, and design of the Cathedral to aid in reviewing for the exam. At the museum
students will review, compare and contrast, and analyze change over time, the various periods of art history. Students will
complete an activity that will lead them through the gallery of European art. Dates of the field trip as well as details and
parental/guardian permission and the required fee will be announced in advance of departure.
Preparing & Reviewing for the AP Exam
To be successful on the AP exam, it’s essential that you prepare and review throughout the school year. This course is a large
commitment of time and scoring well on the exam and your experiences serve as a reward for your hard work. The exam demands that
you spend time reviewing the content as well as have a solid understanding of writing and analysis strategies. You must prepare
throughout the year if you expect to score high on
the exam - here are some strategies to help you:
Purchase an AP European History REVIEW
BOOK online or at a local bookstore and USE IT
throughout the year to help you prepare for the
test.
SCHEDULE TIME each week to review for this
class – make it part of your weekly study
routine.
Stay ORGANIZED! Keep your notes and study
guides organized in a 3-ring binder with dividers
so they are easily available for you to access
when you review.
Form a STUDY GROUP and schedule times to
meet throughout the year. Stick to the schedule
and make a commitment to each other to
prepare and score well on the exam.
Make FLASH CARDS throughout the year of the
major events and personalities.
