AP World History Summer Assignment 2012-2013

Welcome to AP World History! I am looking forward to having you in class in the fall and know you are at least looking forward to being sophomores! This course requires an excellent work ethic and dedication in order to achieve success. Success in this class will not only mean the opportunity to take and do well on the AP exam in May, but also gaining necessary study skills needed for future high school and college classes. In light of the fact we must attempt to cover 10,000 years of history in 160 days, I have decided on six assignments for you to complete over the summer so you will be prepared to start quickly in September. Assignments in this packet are due the first day of school. You will receive test grades for the writing assignments and will have to be prepared for a map test the second day of school. One attribute you need to be successful in this class and reduce your stress level is the ability to complete work when assigned and not procrastinate. In other words, DO NOT wait until the day before school to start this packet. (Think of how great it will be if you are finished with this before July 4, for example, and just have to review your materials the day before you come to class.) Again, I look forward to having you in class. I will do my best to prepare you for the AP exam. If you have any questions you may contact me at jeannette_olivercarr@auburn.cnyric.org.
