how we are connected to everything around us and where we may be heading. Big History provides a
foundation for thinking about history, the future, and the changes that are shaping our world.
Build Essential Skills:
• thinking across scales
• integrating multiple disciplines
• making and testing claims
• reading and writing
*This course is designed for students who intend on taking AP World History &
AP US History in the future.
