AP WORLD HISTORY SUMMER ASSIGNMENT 2013 Welcome to Advanced Placement World History at Eppler Junior High About the course: Advanced Placement World History develops an understanding of the evolution of global processes and contacts including interactions over time. This non-traditional approach looks at the common threads of humanity—trade, religion, politics, society, and technology—and investigates how each have changed and continued over time. The course traces the human experience from the emergence of Neolithic cultures to the 21st Century, C.E., emphasizing the habits of mind, writing skills, and content knowledge characteristic of a college-level world history course. Students will devote considerable time to the critical evaluation of primary and secondary sources, as they write essays, engage in class discussions, and participate in Socratic seminars.
The following assignments will be due on the first day of school. Failure to have the completed materials will result in the student’s removal from the class. Students will be given an open note test regarding using this material at the start of the year. It is recommended that students take notes as they are reading the material to help them identify the answers to these questions
