Welcome to IB History (HL), the purpose of this course is to study the political, economic, social, cultural, and religious histories of the Western Hemisphere. During your Junior year, the focus will be on the role of the United States following the Louisiana Comprehensive Curriculum in order to prepare you for the LEAP 2025 Exam. Your Senior year will focus on gaining an in-depth understanding of selected twentieth century topics from the IB curriculum. In order to accomplish our objectives, outside reading will be required and assigned periodically throughout the course. In addition, students will be required to complete an Internal Assessment in the form of a Historical Investigation. This assignment will require approximately twenty hours of the students’ time and should cover a topic from any historical subject in the Americas.
