AP Human Geography Summer Assignment AP Human Geography (APHuG) is not a traditional geography class. Instead of learning about the locations of physical and political features, this course focuses on the interactions between humans and their environment and between human populations. As a prerequisite to the course, AP Human Geography students are expected to enter class with a basic understanding of the physical and political geography of the world-the locations ofthe continents and oceans, the arrangement of regions, and the locations of certain countries found within each of these regions. To ensure students are adequately prepared for geographic requirements (which is most often included as part ofa middle school geography course), students are tasked, as their summer assignment for AP Human Geography, with being able to identify the locations ofa series of physical and political arrangements in our world. Task: Students are to identify, review, and study the locations of these physical and political arrangements and eventually pass an assessment of their knowledge of these arrangements. Assignment and Assessments: Students show the completed packet on the first day of school – August 15th, 2023. Students will use the packet to study for various map assessments throughout the year.
