1 AP World History Summer Assignment Welcome to Advanced Placement World History and to one of your first AP Social Studies courses. The primary intent of the AP World History course is to teach the history of the world from a truly global stance rather than from the dominant perspective of Western civilization. In order to achieve a comprehensive understanding of these events, students need both factual knowledge and the ability to critically assess such information. This course helps them on both fronts, teaching the historical facts in the context of how progressive changes environmental, social, scientific, and political influenced the various societies they touched, as well as how these groups interacted with each other. While we hope that you enjoy learning the world history curriculum, you also must note that it is presented as a college level class and thus will demand rigorous work and effort on both of our parts; the rewarding outcome is that you will gain a heightened sense of how history has shaped our world. Supplemental Textbook: Looking ahead to the fall, students enrolled in this class are asked to complete the following assignments to prepare for AP World History. THE ASSIGNMENT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED BY THE FOURTH MEETING DATE OF APWH. Students who complete assignments shall receive up to 2 additional percentage points on the grade at the end of the first nine week grading period for each key concept section completed. You are strongly encouraged to complete this assignment before school begins as it will provide the necessary background to be successful in AP World History. Students should purchase a supplemental textbook An Essential Coursebook (2 nd Edition) by Ethel Wood from an AP World History Teacher on a first come, first serve basis and are highly encouraged to purchase the book before the end of the current school year No new books will be ordered next year, only used books will be available to purchase. The first few chapters of the supplemental textbook will be available online as a PDF file to download if you are not able to purchase the book before the end of the summer. Directions: There are 2 parts to the summer assignment. Part I will have you reading and answering questions using the Ethel Wood Book and scanned pages of your primary textbook the World Civilizations/Stearns book. Part I serves as a review of the content covered in World History I and is an overview of important elements of AP World History. Read chapters 1-4 of your Wood book or view the scanned pages on fusion Read chapters 1-5 of your Stearns book which are available on fusion as a PDF Answer the reading guide questions as you read the chapters. Part II will have you defining important vocabulary for each chapter you read of the books Using your Wood book and scanned Stearns pages define the vocabulary words These words will appear on Vocabulary Quizzes during your first two units of study in APWH Creating flashcards is required! Additionally, we want to warn each of you that the summer assignment has been designed to discourage students from leaving the assignment until the last few days of summer break. So, begin now and do a little each day. We expect to see quality work turned in on this project. You will finish with plenty of summer break remaining. * If you have any questions about the summer assignment, please contact: longja@pwcs.edu or bellpp@pwcs.edu
