1. INTRO TO WORLD HISTORY

4. A.D.
What does A.D. which is short for Anno Domini translate to in the English language?

6. BC
What does B.C. mean in the English Language?

14. Decade = 10 years
Century = 100 years
Millennium = 1000 years

15. Centuries
In history books, the title of the century refers to the 100 years prior.
Example:
16th Century = 1501 – 1600
In other words the 16th century refers to the 1500’s.

16. A century is 100 years. 1st Century A.D. = A.D. 1 – A.D. 100
2nd Century A.D. = A.D. 101 – A.D. 200
3rd Century A.D. = A.D. 201 – A.D. 300
10th Century A.D. = A.D. 901 – A.D. 1000

17. 15th Century A.D. = 1401 – 1500
16th Century A.D. =
20th Century A.D. = 1901 – 2000
21st Century A.D. = 2001 – 2100

18. B.C. Years Work the Same, But Reverse.
1st Century B.C. = 100 B.C. – 1 B.C.
2nd Century B.C. = 200 B.C. – 101 B.C.
10th Century B.C. = 1000 B.C. – 901 B.C.
Remember it is very important to write “BC” or “BCE” when referring to these dates. But AD is assumed = no need to label.

19. How to calculate between dates in A.D. and B.C.
Formula:
Same = Subtract
Different = Add

20. Example: How many years are between 1000 B.C. and 500 B.C.?
Since they are both B.C. (the same)
You subtract.
1000 B.C.
-500 B.C.
500 years

21. It is the same if they are both A.D.
How many years between 2007 and 1920?
Since they are both A.D. (the same)
You Subtract.
2013
-1920
93 years

22. A.D. to B.C. If you are calculating years between A.D. and B.C.
Then they are different.
Different = Add

23. Example: How many years are between 508 B.C. and 2007?
Since you are calculating between A.D. and B.C., they are different.
Different = Add
2013
+508 B.C.
2521 years

24. Give Students Practice Activity
Practice calculating centuries and dates?

25. Important Dates
Though we will learn about thousands of years of history during this course, there are some dates that are commonly important in World History.

26. 1066
William the Conqueror (King of Normandy, France) conquered England and established fuedalism.
(This made the English very mad to controlled by a French King, you can only imagine.)
In 1066, William conquered the Brits!

27. 1215
King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta, limiting the power of the king.
Probably one of the most important documents in history.

28. 1492 Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas.
Did he really? Well, he did for Europe anyways.
In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

29. 1789
The beginning of the French Revolution. The people revolt against the king.
Well America did it, why can’t they.

30.
Beginning and end of WWI or what was once called the Great War or the Trench War.
Who would have thought there would be a second?

31.
Beginning and end of WWII.

32.
Beginning and end dates of the American Revolution.

33. 1776 Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence.
This was a list of complaints sent to the king of England.
These included, taxation without representation.

34. 1787
The Second Contenental Congress met and ratified the American Constitution.
They had to meet this second time, because the first constitution called The Articles of Confederation failed. Why?
Federalist vs. Antifederalist

35.
American Civil War. This war was fought over states rights, and later slavery became the main issue.
Who fought in this war?
Who won?

36. Student Timeline Activity
Students practice time and dating skills and research skills by making their own timelines.
Directions: create a timeline using 5 of the given World History Dates and 5 Personal History Dates. Important or memorable events in your life or your family / ancestors.
For each date include an explanation with 2 complete sentences and an illustration.

37. Roman Numerals
In World History the Roman Numbering system is commonly used to represent multiple events and emperors with the same titles.
Examples: World War II or King George III

38. Roman Numerals
I = ones
V = five
X = tens
L = fifty
C = hundred

39. Roman Numerals
When the ones “I” is after the letter you add a one, but when the letter “I” appears first, you subtract a one.
Example
VI = but IV = 4
XI = but IX = 9
XIV = 14 but XVI = 16
XXI = but XIX = 19

40. Practice King Henry VIII World War I World War II King George VI
King Louis XIV
King Louis XVI

41. Prehistoric vs. Historic

42. Prehistoric Time Before people started having a written language.
Before 4000 B.C. approx.
Historians and scientists (archeologists and anthropologists) use artifacts and human remains to tell the story of man.
What is the difference between a archeologist and an anthropologist?
Dating is approx. and often carbon dating is used. Why?

43. Artifacts Artifacts are man made items.
Examples: Tools, pots, weapons, jewelry…..

44. Historic Times
People began to have written records. Though early written language used symbols.
Evidence was discovered of politics, economics, and socialization.
Dating became more precise.

45. What is History? History is the story of mans past.
Historiography is the writing of history. It includes the methods that historians use to research and recount history.
Why is studying history important?
When will you use your history skills and knowledge as a citizen of the U.S.A.?
What careers use history skills?
When will you use it in your chosen career?

46. Steps Taken By a Historian
Picks a topic to research.
Researches using primary and secondary sources.
Interprets the information base on his point of view.

47. Two Types of Sources
Primary Sources: information obtained from a person who was at the event and witnessed it.
Examples: diaries, autobiographies, some paintings, photographs, artifacts, written records.

48. Two Types of Sources Cont.
Secondary Sources: Information obtained by someone who was not at the event or someone who researched and studied the past event.
Examples: encyclopedias, textbooks, history books.

49. Point of View
ALL primary and secondary SOURCES have a point of view. Some refer to this as bias.
Because the word “bias” is often associated with negativity, and opinions / interpretations are not necessarily negative; we now refer to it as “point of view”, whether positive or negative about an issue.

50. Analyzing Historical Sources
This year we will be working on the skills of researching, analyzing sources and writing analytical historical essays based on research, otherwise called the “DBQ” or “Document Based Question Essay.
Yes, you will be able to do that by the end of the year! You will become a “Historian”.
But we will start with the basic steps first.
Analyzing sources!

51. Analyzing Sources
The first step and skill in preparing to be a historian is gathering and analyzing sources.
We will learn to do this using APPARTS
APPARTS is a system developed by the AP College Board to help students pick “appart” documents and sources, analyze the entire document or source, and relate its relevance to the question or topic.

52. A
Author = Who created the source? What do you know about the author? What is the author’s point of view?
What can determine the point of view of an author, artist, or speaker?
Frame of Reference: personal background, age education , beliefs, culture, (continue the list, what else affects the frame of reference?)….
Historical Context: the time and location in which the write lives.

53. P
Place and Time: Where and when was the source produced? How might this affect the meaning of the source?
For Example: A source from Soviet Union 1980 would greatly differ from a source in the USA in 1980? Why?
Another example: To the northern states it is the American Civil War, to those forced in the union it is called the War of Northern Aggression.

54. P
Prior Knowledge: Beyond information about the author, and the context of the document’s creation, what do you know that would help you further understand the source?
Do you have any knowledge about any of the information in the source?
Example: If your source was an excerpt from the Gettysburg Address, what prior knowledge do you have?

55. A
Audience: For who was the source created and how might this affect the reliability of the source?
For Example: How might the President’s speech to Congress differ from a speech to the American People, or an interview with Jimmy Kemmel?

56. R
Reason: Why was this source created and how might this affect the reliability of the source?
For this question, you want think about the audience, the context, the author, etc…
Why did they create it?
Is it a reliable source?

57. T The Main Idea: What point is the source trying to convey?
Basically: What is the source about?

58. S Significance: Why is the source important?
Ask yourself, “So what?” in relation to the question asked?
How does this source help you answer your essay question? Why is it important in answering your essay question?

59. Give Students Practice Activity
Practice identifying primary and secondary sources.
Practice APPARTS with historical sources.
