Summer Reading Assignment
Welcome to Advanced Placement World History. Over the course of the school year we will explore 10,000 years of human history. Skills necessary to prepare for the AP exam include analyzing primary sources. The text book adopted by the county is Worlds Together, Worlds Apart and the authors compiled nearly 150 primary sources in two reader companion volumes.
As these two books were constructed to compliment the text book I will be assigning Chapters 1 - 13 and Casebooks - Women and Political Power in the Ancient World, Mobilizing For War in the Age of the Mongols, and Coerced Labor in the Early Modern World (a total of 347 pages) as your summer reading assignment. Each primary source has at least three questions. You will be required to answer the questions in a notebook (i.e. composition book) exclusively used for these reading assignments. This assignment will be due the first week of school. An exam on the reading will also be given the first week of school. Please note the Casebook Mobilizing for War in the Age of the Mongols and Chapters 11 and 12 are repeated in V. 2.
Books
Worlds Together, Worlds Apart: A Companion Reader V. 1 and V.2
The books range in cost from $7 (used) to $37 (New) I suggest you purchase the books used from any of the following websites listed below.
Assignment: Make sure to answer the primary source questions in order and in an organized manner. Divide them by chapters. Your handwriting must be clear and neat. Scribble, exaggerated small print, or messy work will not be graded. Leave one line space between each set of primary source titles and questions as the EXAMPLE below shows. As many questions are lengthy you will not be required to copy them. This assignment is an independent assignment and any indication that collaboration or plagiarism has occurred will result in a ZERO and grounds for a referral.
