AP World History- KELBEL Summer "FUN" Packet 2018-2019

Introduction

Unlike most of the courses you take, AP courses require a tremendous amount of readmg to cover an extensive amount of information and ideas. It is no different for AP World History (WRAP). We will move rather quickly through the early time periods (2.5 million B.C.E.-1000 B.C.E.) As a result, this summer you will read the first chapter of your textbook and complete the chapter question packet. In addition to the chapter questions, you will also complete a multiple choice test that is provided with the summer "fun" packet. This is all due on the first day of school (no exceptions). Finally, you will also complete assignments that will introduce you to the vitally. important historical thinking skills that we will work with during the entire year.

Chapter one covers the general foundations of human civilization and the development. They lay out the historical focus of the course in terms of key social, political, religious, intellectual, technological and economic concepts. Much of the regional geography of the course is non­Western. Only a few of the chapters directly deal with Western Europe and North America. Most of our attention will be on Eastern and Western Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean and Central and South America.

WRAP is more challenging than regular world history and in some instances AP U.S History (APUSH). It is more challenging than regular world history in terms of the depth of content and the emphasis on reading college level material and developing analytical writing skills equal to that of a college student. What makes WRAP more challenging than APUSH at times is the historical content about people and civilizations in parts of the world most American students know little about and the emphasis on conceptual analysis over much longer periods of time. In APUSH you may have written an essay on a fifty year span, but in WRAP we will write essays that span over five hundred years or more. American history represents only a small percentage of the total time human civilizations have existed, and that is why this class is not America focused. APUSH students certainly have an advantage when entering this course, but there have been many students who have not taken APUSH, but have been highly successful.

The AP World History course content is structured around the investigation of five course themes and 19 key concepts in six different chronological periods, from approximately 8000 B.C. E. to the present. This is all accompanied by a set of 9 historical thinking skills that clearly define what it means to think historically. The course is organized into limited number of key concepts instead of a perceived list of facts, events, and dates, which makes understanding each historical period more manageable. This approach enables students to spend Jess time on factual recall, though important, and more time on learning essential concepts, and helps them develop historical thinking skills necessary to explore the broad trends and global processes involved in their study of AP World History. It is my goal to give students the tools to obtain a score on their AP test that could amount to college credit. It is also understood that everyone taking this course has the intention of taking the AP World History Exam given by the College Board in May.

Semester 2 85% Semester 2 Final Exam 15%

Students will have a final exam that is given before the AP College Board Exam

WEIGHTING Formative Assessments 20%

Formative assessments are assessments "for'' learning rather than "of' learning. This basically means the practice assignments that come before a test or essay. Homework assignments, in-class assignments, and some presentations will be included in this category of the grade book.

Summative Assessments 80% Summative assessments are assessments "of' learning. This means these assessments come after some sort of practice and include tests, quizzes, short-answer questions, and essays. ·

TEST CORRECTIONS During part of the 1st semester students will be allowed to complete test corrections for Y. point back for each incorrect question on a multiple choice test. There are no test corrections on take-home tests and there are no test corrections for the 2nd semester.

There will also be opportunities to improve essay writing skills and grades on essays. The policy will be at the teacher's discretion and based upon the classes performance.

LATE WORK Assignments are expected to be turned in on assigned dates, however you will have one late pass during the semester.
