Review+-+Session+1

This lesson goes over the question components of the exam, as well as a general overview of the four time periods and five themes of the course. The first time period is 1450-1648, the beginning of the Renaissance to the end of the Thirty Years' War. We looked at the first of five themes, Interaction between Europe and the World, and can find many examples of of this theme in the first time period, as well as many other times in history. My suggestion is to review the Key Concepts of period 1 that are available below, as well as the PDF of Theme 1, Interaction between Europe and the World. This SB lesson also includes a chart of important dates that you should know. *  *
