Welcome to the History of the Americas Wikispace. This space is for Sha Tin College students who are studying Aspects of History of the Americas(sections 9, 10 and 11) for their IB History course. The goal is to establish a forum to facilitate and develop your learning.
By far the best online resources for us are the school library databases: HistoryQuest and EBSCO Student Research Center . (use school user name and password.) The journal articles in particular will help you develop your knowledge in all your topic areas as well as pinpoint key issues and perspectives. HL students do need to know their topics in more depth; that is why your HL topics have been designed to overlap with your SL topics. Wider reading on your part is essential.
How your IB history course is designed to link your Higher Level learning to your Standard Level course
