Summer Assignment AP WORLD HISTORY Welcome to AP World History, I look forward to a great year with you. You do NOT need to check out a book to complete the following assignments. These assignments will assist in building your fundamental knowledge of World History and are intended to lay the foundation for the first unit and subsequent material covered during the course of the year. For many of you, this is your first AP class. To be successful, you will need to stay focused and work hard. You should be prepared to spend four to six hours a week outside of class on AP World History. If this does not seem realistic for your schedule, then you may want to reconsider taking this course. During the school year we will explore 10,000 years of human history, learn valuable skills, and take the AP World History Exam in May, 2018. This is an exciting class that will allow us to look at the big picture of history, trace cultures over time, and examine human interactions. The purpose of this summer assignment is to get a jumpstart on the curriculum. Our textbook has 38 chapters which we need to cover in about 27 weeks in order for us to have time to review before the AP test. The summer assignment will also provide us with an opportunity to go into more depth on certain topics throughout the year. This summer assignment is due the second day of school – Wednesday, September 5 th . We will have our first summative that Friday on some of this information. Contact Information Chad Quamme [email protected] Website mrquamme.com I do not check my voice mail over the summer.

AP World History is a complex course that requires students to view history not only chronologically but also thematically. S.P.I.C.E. charts offer students a comprehensive way to find overarching themes, and unify threads of history that are sometimes difficult to connect. The following descriptions of SPICE topics, and sub-topics will guide students this process. S – Social: development & transformation of social structures Gender roles, relationships, family, kinship, racial & ethnic constructions, social & economic classes P – Political: state building, expansion/conflict Political structures, forms of government/governance, empires, nations, nationalism, wars, revolts, revolutions, global structures/organizations, regional & trans-regional I – Interaction: relationship between humans & the environment Demography, disease, migrations/movements, patterns of settlement, technology C – Culture: development & interaction of cultures Religions, belief systems, philosophies & ideologies, science & technology, arts & architecture E – Economic: creation, expansion, and interaction of economic systems Agricultural & pastoral groups/production, trade & commerce, labor systems, industrialization, capitalism & socialism
How to “SPICE”: below is a more in-depth description of some ideas or questions you should be looking to answer. An effective method for recalling historical information is to categorize important facts and events into particular themes. The SPICE charts will help you complete your chapter overviews and provide a key studying tool for the final exam in May. As you take notes within the chart try to come up with 3 facts for each of the subtopics, this is not always easy so try your best. Social – development and transformation of social structures, how societies formed and/or separated
What are the roles of men and women in the society? How did they interact with each other? What role did the family have within society? Did family linage have importance? How did race influence society? Was it positive or negative? How were social classes divided? How did economics affect class or society? Are there inequalities?
Political – state building, expansion and conflict, power, and governments or lack thereof. What type of governments existed? How did empires rule? How did nationalism influence society? What role did revolts, revolutions or war play? What global structures or institutions existed? What was influence of these entities?
Interactive – humans and how they adapted to or changed their environments
What were the people like in this society? How did diseases influence interactions? How did people move in or out of this society? Are there noticeable patterns? Did migration influence people?
What is the geographical landscape like and how does it affect the people? What role did technology have on people? Did it hinder or help people’s ability to live?
Cultural – development and interactions of cultures
Are there organized religions within this society? What role did they play in the development or decline in society? What belief systems exist? Do these beliefs represent the people or the elite? Was education valued or available? What is the impact of technology? How do humans express themselves thru art & architecture)? Economic – creation, expansion and interaction of economic systems, gains and losses What role did agriculture play? What did they trade? Who were their trading partners? How did people earn food? What was valued, products or money? How did technology impact economies? What jobs were available? Were people organized into labor systems?
