New to This Edition
New co-author Eric Nelson brings an enhanced focus on teaching in today’s classroom. Eric Nelson, a popular and skilled teacher who has become a national leader in online course design and pedagogy, joins Bob Strayer as co-author of Ways of the World. Organized into Six Parts. These parts align to the six time periods established by the College Board for the AP® World History course. Each part and chapter of this text is structured around a common set of features designed to convey the rich story of humankind while helping students develop the skills required to realize success on the AP® World History exam. AP® Redesign test bank. Updated to the third edition, this disc provides two test banks in one: content-based questions that correlate to chapter-based material and AP®-style questions for two complete sample exams. Eric’s Activities. Located in the Teacher’s Edition, these activities written by co-author Eric Nelson address AP® Historical Thinking Skills or Thematic Learning Objectives. Understanding AP® Themes feature at the beginning of each part has students identify the important forces shaping each period and make connections between chapters. This feature includes an AP® Thematic Grid. AP® Exam Tips in the margins help students learn important concepts and develop skills to help succeed on the AP® Exam. AP® Style Exam Practice Questions allow students to test themselves at the end of each part. Landmark Timeline at the beginning of each part provide a chronological overview of key events and processes. Practicing AP® Historical Thinking questions in the margins ask students to apply what they have learned in the chapter. More on the environment and Pacific Oceania gives students expanded coverage of important topics. The third edition includes enhanced treatment of environmental issues in world history, including a more thorough account of environmentalism and climate change during the past century. Expanded coverage of Pacific Oceana throughout – including new in-depth coverage in Chapter 6 – rightfully positions this distinctive cultural region alongside the other regions of the world, while underscoring the truly global approach of this book. Online Glossaries. The online resources include an AP® World History glossary with every term in the course defined, an Academic Glossary, and Glossarios featuring both the AP® and Academic glossaries in Spanish."Robert Strayer has found a magical sweetspot between being concise and inclusive, between presenting world history and engaging students, and between originality and comfort. The on-line version has a suite of ancillaries that are very useful to students and teachers alike. I regularly utilized features such as Learning Curve, editable quizzes and test banks, document and historical reading practice and associated space for student response, timeline activities, powerpoints, chapter outlines and more... At the end of the year I surveyed my students on satisfaction and found it paralleled mine. In short, this is a refreshingly engaging pedagogical suite, not "just" a text."
- Edward Walsh, Lancaster High School, NY"I am impressed with the visual sources and document analysis sections. Those will be so helpful with the redesigned course."
- Paula DSpain, McKinney ISD, TX"I love the book. Very impressed with its connections to both the content standards as well as the thematic standards."
- Jason Carter, Fairbanks High School OH"I like the documents within the book. I had previously been using a separate documents book for primary sources."
- Paul Hoelscher Clayton Schools, MO"I LOVE how the book is organized to match the AP Periodization. This makes the breaks between time periods very clear for me as a teacher and for students as well. The Guided Reading Questions in the margins give students indications of what they should be looking for as they read. These can easily be typed up by a teacher and turned into a Guided Reading handout for students. (Easy way to implement modifications for diverse learners.) AP Exam Tips are well organized around how students need to connect information and the skills they need for the Exam. Especially the ones pertaining to essay writing. Big Picture Questions at the end of the chapters are well aligned with AP Themes and requires students to look at the overarching themes. Working with Evidence Sources: It is great that the sources are short and come with effective skills based questions. I also love that Visual Sources are also included."
- Tyronne Shaw, McKinley Technology High School, Washington DC
