You may have noticed some original content from me sprinkled throughout the site. Starting in September of 2020, I began making videos for AP World History. My initial channel, Illustrative Examples, was an attempt by me to fill in the holes I found online for historical videos on certain topics. I would find the most obscure “Illustrative Examples” given by the College Board, and make a video delving into that topic. When the College Board brings up a topic in the curriculum, they will often give a few “Illustrative Examples”. These are not required for the course. But, they illustrate a certain historical topic that IS REQUIRED by the College Board. I’ve also switched the ol’ Around the AP World in 80 Days BLOG POSTS and turned them into individual videos.
