AP HISTORY SPRING BREAK ASSIGNMENT – 2014 (240 POINTS) Purpose: By the time we start Spring Break, we will have already covered all but one century of World History. In order to understand the most recent 100 years, though, it is imperative that you understand the many centuries and periods of time that come before them. Remember, as well, that once we return from Spring Break, you will have approximately six weeks to prepare for the AP World History exam on Thursday, May 15th. Your Spring Break assignment is structured to help you start exam preparations. Directions: Complete each of the attached regional outlines based on the categories provided in the first column. You must identify at least 2-3 bullet points per category per time period for each region. NOTE: DO NOT COMPLETE THE UNIT 6 COLUMN – WE HAVE NOT FINISHED THIS UNIT!! WE WILL COMPLETE THIS TOGETHER IN The information that you write down should be very specific – do not write long explanations or overly general details. The purpose of this assignment is to create study sheets of specific evidence, not write down generic trends or vague ideas. Identify key information – do not worry about minor details we never discussed or only talked about once. Use your textbook, notes, assignments, and any other readings/handouts I have provided in class to help you complete this assignment. Everything you need to know will be found in those resources. I have provided a chart of major empires/powers by region and time period to help you organize your ideas. Additional Details: You may write on the charts, or type them (you can find a digital copy on my school website or Edmodo). Any indication that charts are directly copied from another student or website will result in a zero. This information is to help you study – the only way it will be useful is if YOU create it! Assessment: Each chart is worth 30 points; Total Points – 240. The value for this assignment is worth more than both parts of a Unit Test!! This is an excellent way to boost your 4th Quarter Grade!! Starting on the first day back from Spring Break, you will have daily, 10 minute multiple choice quizzes. These quizzes will have 10 questions. Five questions will be about the previous night’s reading, and the other five will cover information from the previous five units. DUE DATE: ALL REGIONAL OUTLINES ARE DUE ON THE FIRST DAY BACK FROM SPRING BREAK, MONDAY, APRIL 7TH!!
