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, 5 th Edition. We will be using the 6 th 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 13 th (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.
