Congratulations! You are a member of the AP World History class at SCPA. You will have 6 different assignments to complete this summer as a way of preparing for our trek into AP World History. These assignments are meant to be informative and engaging and I will be looking for your best work! Here is a brief overview of the assignments which are detailed on the right side of the blog:
- Read A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage and discuss it on the blog.
- Create a monumental map of the natural world using the terms listed on the link below.
- Listen to podcasts of the BBC's History of the World in 100 Objects and respond to blog prompts.
- View the video The Real Eve by the Discovery Channel and answer the prompts listed.
- Read Why Study World History by Jerry H. Bentley and then write a letter to your future grandchildren explaining your views.
- Download and read the AP World History Course Exam and Description then sit with your parents and tell them 5 things that you think will be interesting to study next year.
Drop me a line with questions or concerns (earlier rather than later!) at andream@cps-k12.org.
