SPICE

Picture
The Five themes of AP World History serve as unifying threads through which you can examine broader themes throughout each period. We use the acronym S.P.I.C.E. [Social; Political; Interactions between humans and the environment; Cultural; Economic] to help you categorize and remember the 5 areas of analysis.  Please use this SPICE Chart Organizer to help you categorize and remember the five areas of analysis. Civilizations rarely exist in a vacuum.  Always think of the Big Picture in AP World History!

Note Taking

Picture
