Advanced Placement World History

Summer Assignment 2018 The AP World History Summer Assignment is a tool by which you will be getting a jumpstart on the 2018-19 school year.

This summer, you will read Chapters 1, 2, & 3 in the AP World History Textbook, The Earth & Its Peoples, 5th Edition.

We will be using the 6th AP Edition of the textbook in class. These chapters are identical.

As you read, you will take notes, by hand, on study/review sheets that you will download from Mr. Salba’s AP World

History OneNote. These hand-written notes will be turned in for three Minor Assessment grades on August 13th (the

second Monday of the school year).

You will be given a Multiple Choice Major Assessment test over the material in Chapters 1, 2, & 3. The tests in APWH

are detailed and require a careful reading of the textbook. This is not the type of assignment that you will be able to be

successful with if you wait until the last minute. The test will be given in one class period and will count as your first

Major Assessment grade. It will consist of between 70 and 80 multiple choice questions.

The purpose of this year’s assignment is to give you a chance to spend time on content that we have always had to rush

through. It is important that you complete the assignment on the due dates. Failure to do so will put you behind early in

the school year.

Step 1 – Visit Mr. Salba’s APWH OneNote or the Chattahoochee H.S. AP Summer Assignment Page

Step 2 – Download the PDF chapters and study guides

• Chapters 1, 2, & 3 are available in PDF format (Chapter 1 / Chapter 2 / Chapter 3)

o Chapter 1 / Chapter 2 / Chapter 3

o There are AP U.S. History samples for you to examine. These are similar to the APWH study guides and

may help to guide your note taking over the summer.

Step 3 – Read the Chapters & Take Notes.

• Do not wait until school starts to begin. You will not be able to complete the assignment with the necessary

detail in the first week of school.

• The study guides have terms from the chapters on them. You should fill out the study guides with information

relating to each term.

o Definition – Dates – location

Step 4 – Turn in your Chapter Study Guides on Monday, August 13th

• THESE MUST BE COMPLETED BY HAND.

• TYPED SHEETS WILL BE RETURNED WITH A GRADE OF ZERO (0)

• You can ask to have one Chapter’s notes perused for pointers.

o You must ask for this by Wednesday before or after school.

Step 5 – Take the Chapter 1, 2, & 3 Test
