AP World History Summe r Assignment 2019- 2020
Welcome to AP World History, I look forward to a great year with you. You do NOT need to check out a book to complete the following assignments. These assignments will assist in building your fundamental knowledge of World History and are intended to lay the foundation for the first unit and subsequent material covered during the course of the year. The information needed to complete this packet can be at various websites including toasterhistory.com, Ms. Sudduth’s AP World History site.
For many of you, this is your first AP class. To be successful, you will need to stay focused and work hard. You should be prepared to spend four to six hours a week outside of class on AP World History. If this does not seem realistic for your schedule, then you may want to reconsider taking this course. During the school year we will explore 10,000 years of human history, learn valuable skills, and take the AP World History Exam in May, 2020. This is an exciting class that will allow us to look at the big picture of history, trace cultures over time, and examine human interactions.
The purpose of this summer assignment is to get a jumpstart on the curriculum. Our textbook has 32 chapters which we need to cover in about 30 weeks in order for us to have time to review before the AP test. The summer assignment will also provide us with an opportunity to go into more depth on certain topics throughout the year.
This summer assignment is due the first day of school – August 15, 2019.
This is what you are turning in and what you need for the class…1) This packet which contains the maps, vocabulary charts and PIRATES charts.2) You will need to have a binder with several dividers and notebook paper for this
class. You will receive many handouts during the year that you will need to keep. Please see the page for information about your binder!
• Late assignments will not be accepted as you will be quizzed on some of the information from this packet as soon as school. You will NOT be allowed to drop in August, if you didn’t complete this project. Your grade will simply reflect that you failed to complete it. SO… if this causes you to change your mind about taking this particular course, see your counselor NOW about a schedule change.”
Anyone that registered prior to May 3, 2018 will be expected to have the assignment completed by the first day of school.
I (Ms. Sudduth) will be available by email during the summer but please do not expect an immediate response; it may take a few days. Good luck and we’ll see you in August!
