ap world history - leq review: thesis, context & complexity
originally streamed in 2018 with Amanda DoAmaralTeachercurriculum note
This video is based on a 2018 AP World History exam rubric and uses old 'Period' labels (e.g., 'Period 5,' 'Period 6') instead of the current 'Unit' labels. The LEQ rubric has been updated since 2018—particularly how complexity and synthesis points are earned—so some guidance here may not reflect the current 2025 rubric.
