Advanced Placement World History (APWH) is a thematic, college-­‐level course designed to familiarize students with the broad patterns of the human experience. Students will concentrate on change and continuity over time, the unique aspects of social institutions and the common characteristics that tie them together, and the dynamics of how cultural interactions have shaped history since recorded history. Students are charged with the role of historian and will engage in a plethora of activities that encourage critical thinking and hone their ability to debate established historical interpretations and express their educated views using primary source documents. Throughout the academic year, students will actively compare cultures and look for historical patterns that stretch across units and tie all human populations together throughout history.  \nThe primary purpose of this summer assignment is to help you acquire the base knowledge necessary for instant immersion in AP World History once the 2013-­‐2014 academic year begins. There are three sections to the summer assignment. Be sure to read each section carefully and follow the instructions precisely. I have provided you with suggested schedule for task completion, but please remember that you are responsible for your own pacing.  \nYOU WILL HAVE A TEST BASED ON THE SUMMER ASSIGNMENT MATERIAL DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL!  \nA Special Note About Plagiarism: Plagiarism, the act of taking credit for the academic work of someone else, will not be tolerated in AP World History. Whenever you are asked to write in this course-­‐-­‐whether it be a glossary entry, a religion chart, or a full essay-­‐-­‐it must be in your own words. The expectations for WHAP assignments are much greater than you will have experienced in your previous classes (even if you have already taken AP courses before) . Your answers MAY NOT be copied directly from the book, instead they must be paraphrased (PUT THEM IN YOUR OWN WORDS) . All SLHS policies related to plagiarism will be followed as explained in the Student handbook.  \nAP WORLD HISTORY Summer Assignment: OVERVIEW  \nPART 1 : Map Activity and Current Events (Complete by mid-­‐June)  \nPART 2 : Read ONE of the following books and complete the accompanying assignment. (Complete by midJuly)  \nBook option 1: “This Fleeting World” by David Christian.  OR  \nBook option 2: A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage.  \n(Note – The price of these books ranges from around $4 .00 used (alibris.com, amazon.com ) to $16 .00 new. If this cost is a severe hardship for you, consider splitting the cost of the book with another AP World History student. The Library is another great place to find these books!  \nPART 3 : Human Pre-­‐History Exploratory (Complete by 1st day of school)  \nPART 1: Map Activity and Current Events  \nAs a preview of topics and issues we will examine in the classroom, students are required to familiarize themselves with major world events and complete a written assignment. Work should be submitted in 12-­‐pt font and double spaced. Due the first day of school, this “news journal” will be the starting point for your analysis and understanding of world history. Short summaries and analysis of news events should be reflective of your own knowledge and questions you have about the world around you. As you develop your ideas, be sure to consider:  \n1) How current news events relate to the five world history themes  \n2) The potential impacts of the events  \n3) The geographic region in which they occur.  \nThe 5 Major Themes for the course are:  \n1. Interaction between humans and environment  \n2. Development and interaction of cultures  \n3. State-­‐building, expansion, and conflict  \n4. Creation, expansion, & interaction of economic systems  \n5. Development and transformation of social structures  \nThe 4 Critical Thi","cbCaiuwCkYga67KG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuwCkYga67KG","pdf",1236645,16,"English","# AP World History Summer Assignment - Overview\n## Parts 1-3 Overview\n## Part 1: Map Activity and Current Events\n## Course Themes and Critical Thinking Skills\n## Getting Started","[{\"question\":\"When will the AP World History test based on the summer assignment take place?\",\"answer\":\"The document states there will be a test based on the summer assignment material during the first week of school.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the five major course themes students should connect to their news journal?\",\"answer\":\"The themes are: interaction between humans and environment; development and interaction of cultures; state-building, expansion, and conflict; creation, expansion, and interaction of economic systems; and development and transformation of social structures.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the assignment define acceptable work regarding plagiarism?\",\"answer\":\"Plagiarism will not be tolerated, and whenever students are asked to write, it must be in their own words.
