AP World History Summer Work 15-16 Welcome to AP World History ...
AP World History Summer Work 15-16 Welcome to AP World History and ninth grade! I look forward to embarking on this challenging, yet fascinating journey through the history of the world with you. My goal is for every student enrolled in the class to pass the AP Exam in May. This requires dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work on both our parts. I will do my job to the best of my ability, and I expect you to do yours. While I respect your need for free time this summer, I feel it is important for you to be prepared with some prior knowledge on the first day of school. This course moves very quickly and we cover topics from Prehistory to contemporary issues in today’s societies. In order to stay on track, it will be necessary for you to complete work outside of school during the year and this summer. This summer assignment will be due on the first day of school. Advice: Don’t procrastinate, do it as soon as you can to get it off your plate! *************Before you leave school on 5/27, you need to check out a textbook from me in Room #14 or get a code for our online textbook. *************** Part One: Outlines (Formative, 50 points-‐ 25 pts. each, see rubric below) Chapter 1: Outline (see layout below, I have laid Chapter One out for you.) Chapter 2: Outline Part Two: Documents (Formative, 16 points-‐2 points per question) Chapter 1: Read documents on Pgs. 46-‐58 “Considering the Evidence,” and answer questions #1-‐4 on Page 59 “Using the Evidence.” Chapter 2: Read documents on Pgs. 92-‐107 “Considering the Evidence,” and answer questions #1-‐4 on Page 107 “Using the Evidence.” -‐You should answer the questions in grammatically correct, full sentences.
