Freeman-pedia: An impeccably arranged source for the AP World History framework that gives an overview of the need-to-know information from each unit. Also contains links to John Green’s videos (as entertaining as AP World History gets) and scads of hyperlinks to dive deeper into the content of the periods of world history.
As mentioned above, John Green (author of The Fault in our Stars), takes a break from teen romance to record comically insightful videos that summarize major events, time periods, civilizations, empires, dynasties, and any other major phenomenon that falls on the wheel of history. These videos are collectively called “Crash Courses.”
*PLEASE DO NOT USE THESE AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR READING. These videos provide good overviews, but they lack the depth and analysis needed to succeed in the class and on the AP exam.
