Course Description This course is designed to provide students with the analytic skills and knowledge required to understand History of the Americas from 1760-2000 focusing on 20th Century topics for HL Prescribed Subject 3, Communism in Crisis will focus on Causes, Practices and Effects of War and The Cold War. 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, together with mastery of the Turabian citation method. The course is taught on a college level and it 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. Historiography: 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.
