Course Description
This course is designed to provide students with the analytic skills and knowledge required to understand History of the Americas from 1760-2005 focusing on 20th Century topics for HL Prescribed Subject 3, The Move to Global War will focus on Authoritarian States and The Cold War: Superpower Tensions and Rivalries
. Students will learn to assess historical materials as to their relevance to a given interpretative problem, to weigh the evidence and interpretations presented in historical scholarships, to arrive at conclusions on the basis of informed judgments and to present these conclusions with articulate reasoning, supported by persuasive evidence. During the course of extensive research in preparation for the Internal Assessment Research Paper, students will learn to evaluate sources as to their origin, purpose, value and limitations, as well as the Turabian or Chicago School citation method utilized in the Social Sciences discipline. The course is taught on a college level and requires a substantial amount of reading and preparation for every class. As the International Baccalaureate examination covers a vast amount of information and requires critical analytical and writing skills, passage of the exam is not anticipated apart from asserted individual effort by the student on a continual basis.
Specific units will include discussion and written analysis of relevant historical scholarship, differing and changing interpretations of events over time and the impact of various historians on those who succeed them (historiography).
