1 Suggested Summer Reading assignment: AP World History This is a rare opportunity for extra credit. The deadline for this project is Tuesday, September 18, 2018 at 10:00 pm. All of it must be typed and submitted to turnitin.com. You will receive directions on how to sign up for turnitin.com the first week of school. Work is always accepted early and never accepted after the deadline. Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn, ISBN# (extra credit for 1 st nine weeks) This book has been called life changing by MANY of my students. It is not read for historical content. It is read to introduce to you to DIFFERENT points of view. A historian MUST be able to analyze events from multiple points of view. They must be able to leave their own opinions and biases behind. If you choose to read this book, expect it to challenge preconceived notions and it might just make you feel a little uncomfortable. me any questions that you have anytime. I am here to help you! (currank@duvalschools.org). I will be checking my often during the summer. Part 1: Keep a two-column reading log. The left column will be a summary of each of the 13 chapters (or more frequently if you find the reading challenging and feel the need to break it down more often), and the right column will include personal reflections and further questions. Write down how you are feeling as you read. However, you must go back to see how you might be CHANGING as you are getting further along in the text. As you read, you may/should find the answers to those questions and should go back and add commentary clarifying the answers (highlight to demonstrate this part). Part 2: Guided Reading questions for Ishmael: Do not write the question. Your responses will all start with a restatement of the question. When answering any question: RASE the question: Restate the question, Answer it, Support with evidence, and Explain the significance. 1. Why does the student resist the idea that his account of creation is a myth? Compare the taker s story to the jellyfish s story. Why does Ishmael tell this story? 2. What is human destiny according to the taker s story, and how does this destiny relate to paradise? 3. What are the three dirty tricks the gods played on the takers? 4. Why does Ishmael send the student away to find his own answers? What does the student mean when he says he wanted to have a teacher for life? 5. Explain the value of diversity as a contribution to the survival of the community. Why is unlimited growth of any given individual dangerous to the community? 6. What is the knowledge that allows the takers to rule the world? 7. What is Ishmael s prescription for getting humans to see collectively that we cannot go on living as we presently do?

2 8. Explain the two sides of the poster Ishmael kept with him: With Man Gone, Will There Be Hope for Gorilla? With Gorilla Gone, Will There Be Hope for Man? How does this relate to the student s relationship to his teacher, Ishmael? PART 1 AND 2 MUST BE TURNED IN TO RECEIVE ANY CREDIT. PARTIAL CREDIT WILL NOT BE AWARDED Artistic students are encouraged to create a visual to display in the classroom to help us remember and apply the lessons from Ishmael all year long. Of course, this would be considered above and beyond and will result in a few bonus points. Wild Swans by Jung Chang ISBN # (extra credit for 2 nd nine weeks) Deadline is Tuesday, December 11, 2018 at 10pm. All of it must be typed and submitted to turnitin.com. Part 1: Essential questions/focus for Reading: Respond to these questions in well-written paragraphs using specific details from the book to support your response. There is not necessarily a right or wrong answer. I am evaluating how well you can support your argument. This should be typed and submitted to turnitin.com 1. Do the goals of the government justify actions which might violate rights of their people? 2. Should a person s responsibility to society take precedence over their individual lives? 3. Does the end ever justify the means? 4. Why have expectations of women s roles and rights been historically different from expectations of men? 5. Does society benefit from gender roles? Part 2: In addition, you will need to keep a two-column reading log. The left column will be a summary of each chapter (or more frequently if you find the reading challenging and feel the need to break it down more often), and the right column will include personal reflections and further questions. As you read, you may find the answers to those questions and should go back and add post it notes clarifying the answers. This may be written by hand. Part 3: The last part of the assignment is to create a typed illustrated, annotated timeline of 20th century Chinese history that designates the event, the SIGNIFICANCE, and a visual that represents the event.

3 Ishmael is extra credit for the first nine weeks and is due NO LATER THAN Tuesday, September 18 th at 10:00 pm. There are no exceptions to this deadline. Assignments are always accepted early. All extra credit assignments must be submitted to turnitin.com before the deadline. Wild Swans in extra credit for the second nine weeks and is due NO LATER THAN Tuesday, December 11 th at 10:00 pm. There are no exceptions to this deadline. Assignments are always accepted early. All typed portions must be submitted to turnitin.com before the deadline. If you do not care for Ishmael, please see the AP World History optional summer book review assignment: 2018 AP World History optional summer book review assignment: 2018 The World and a Very Small Place in Africa by Donald Wright: ISBN: (instead of Ishmael) DURING THE READING: Keep a two-column reading log. This may be written by hand. The left column will be a summary of each chapter (or more frequently if you find the reading challenging and feel the need to break it down more often), and the right column will include personal reflections and further questions. As you read, you may find the answers to those questions and should go back and add post it notes clarifying the answers. AFTER THE READING: Address the following questions: What question was the author attempting to answer? In other words, why did the author write this book? What was the author s thesis? In other words, what was their answer to the question? Evaluate the evidence that the author provided. Is it convincing? Be thorough and specific.

4 Research the background of the author. How does the background affect their approach to the subject? Document your sources in MLA format(see noodletools.com or easybib.com) Guidelines for all optional summer assignments 1. Your assignment should be typed and submitted to turnitin.com. There will not be a turnitin.com account for my classes until August DO NOT collaborate (talk, Skype, , twitter, snapchat etc.) on these assignments. The assignment will not be graded directly in turnitin.com. You may review it anytime by appointment after school on Thursdays. 3. This may sound obvious, but write the review yourself. I know how 10 th graders write. A false first impression could make me think that your skills are worsening and remediation is warranted. 4. Quotes are not necessary unless you feel it would really help you make your point and even then, quote sparingly and cite the page number parenthetically(see noodletools.com or easybib.com). Each quote must be thoroughly analyzed. I look forward to meeting you in August. I do have several copies of Ishmael that may be checked out prior to June 1 st. My room is 613 and my is currank@duvalschools.org
