AP World History Summer Assignment 2012 Text: Bentley, J. & Herbert Ziegler. Traditions and Encounters: A Global Perspective on the Past. 4th ed. NY: Mcgraw-Hill, 2008. Teacher: Mrs. Barazani [email protected] www.howdidwegethere.wikispaces.com Websites: Text- www.glencoe.com/bentley4 or bentley5 AP College Boardhttp://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/sub_worldhist.html?worldhist Welcome to Advanced Placement World History. This course covers approximately 10,000 years of history, so we have a lot to cover and absorb. AP World History is taught using extensive reading, exploration of the five themes of world history (broken down into seven themes for our class), comparing and contrasting societies, and examining continuities and change over time. For most of you, this is your first foray into the world of advanced placement classes. To be successful, you will need to stay focused, be prepared to read, and to work hard. The first three units of the AP World History course cover an enormous amount of information and textbook chapters. To help us out on this journey, it’s important to use the summer to prepare us for this course. Therefore, your summer assignment will be to cover the readings of the Foundations Unit, complete a chart, vocabulary words, and a world map. The summer assignment is due the first day of the academic school year. Pace yourself over the summer; do not leave it until the end. In addition to the written work, you will have a quiz the first or second day of school on all of the vocabulary. You will work independently. This work must be your own and must be original. Sometimes, it is helpful to work with a partner or a small group. If you choose to do this, whatever you write must be in your own words. Do not copy word for word from the text or from your friends. All of the worksheets or charts that you have been given are posted on the class Wiki and may be downloaded, copied, printed or saved. That way you can expand each according to your needs. If you need to contact me during the summer, please feel free to email me. I will check my email every few days. Make good use of the textbook website. It has chapter outlines, glossary, interactive maps and more. I strongly encourage you to print out the chapter outlines and take notes on the outline while you are reading. Then, using the outline and your notes, go back and fill in your RECIPES Chart. Also, get familiar with the AP College Board World History website. It will help you understand the course and the testing methods. Work hard. Push yourself. Do your best! Part I: Skim Chapters 1-6 These chapters cover Neolithic settlements, the four River Valley Civilizations, and Mesoamerican societies. I highly encourage you to utilize the chapter outlines by printing each out and taking notes on the outline. Part 2: R-E-C-I-P-E-S Chart As you are reading, complete the R-E-C-I-P-E-S chart. You have also been provided with an explanation of R-E-C-I-P-E-S and the questions you should be answering within your chart for each theme and place. Throughout this course, you will need to break down cultures and civilizations to a basic level so that you can see the key characteristics and developments within a society and compare them to other societies in order to get the big picture of world history. Using the R-E-C-I-P-E-S chart will help you break down the huge amount of information into something more workable. When filling in the chart, you may want a few specifics but the overall information should be more general in nature. In other words, limit what you write. It’s a chart, not a textbook. Each chapter of the text is basically divided the same way. It starts with the political and economic factors and then moves into the religious, social, intellectual, and artistic factors. Feel free to download the chart from the Wiki. Part 3: Vocabulary While you read complete all words for each chapter. All vocabulary words are from your text. Use the definitions/examples from your text. There is no need to look anywhere else for the definitions (except on possibly a few occasions). Once again, you may/should download your copy. On the first or second day of class you will have a quiz on the vocabulary terms from all six chapters. Part 4: World Map Label and learn the locations on the world map. You will be quizzed on it later in the year.
