Term  1  Assignment  –AP  European  History    

To  Incoming  Sophomores  Enrolled  in  AP  European  History  for  the  2017-­‐2018  Year:     This  course  is  probably  different  than  any  you  have  completed  thus  far  in  your  educational  pursuits.  As  a   sophomore,  you  will  have  an  opportunity  to  earn  college  credit  for  knowledge  and  skills  acquired  in  high   school  by  taking  the  European  History  Advanced  Placement  Exam  in  May  of  2018.  The  emphasis  of  the  AP   European  History  course  is  on  acquiring  analytical,  critical  thinking,  and  writing  skills  while  also  mastering   historical  content.  The  course  is  equivalent  to  an  introductory  college  course.  It  is  challenging  and  rigorous.     AP  European  History  focuses  on  the  history  of  Western  and  Eastern  Europe  from  the  High  Renaissance  of   1450  to  present  day.  Having  a  basic  introduction  of  European  history  preceding  1450  will  help  to  give  the   beginning  of  class  greater  context.  In  an  effort  to  achieve  this,  we  are  asking  students  to  do  the  following  two   things:     1) Complete  a  mapping  assignment   a. Color  and  correctly  label  a  modern-­‐day  map  of  Europe  (see  below)   b. Note  that  you  will  be  taking  a  map  test  within  the  first  2  weeks  of  school     2) Read  and  complete  a  study  guide  for  “Chapter  11  –  The  Later  Middle  Ages:  Crisis  and   Disintegration  in  the  14th  Century”  by  Jackson  Spielvogel  (your  AP  European  History  textbook   author).   a. The  reading  is  roughly  30  pages  long  and  you  will  also  be  completing  a  study  guide   based  off  of  this  text.       b. To  complete  the  reading,  you  will  need  access  to  your  AP  European  History   textbook,  something  you  will  not  receive  until  the  week  before  school  starts  when   you  come  back  to  campus  to  pick  up  your  schedule,  1st  semester  textbooks,  and  all   other  school  supplies.    In  an  ongoing  effort  to  ensure  that  you  read  the  material  closer   to  when  the  school  year  actually  begins,  you  will  thus  not  be  able  to  start  the  reading   portion  of  your  Term  1  Assignment  until  the  week  leading  up  to  school.         c. Please  note  that  your  responses  need  to  be  hand-­written  and  that  teachers  will   not  accept  typed  papers.   d. Also  note  that  you  will  be  taking  a  closed-­‐note  test  on  this  material  within  the  first  2   weeks  of  school       Completion  of  the  Term  One  Assignment  will  increase  your  understanding  of  the  events  of  the  Later  Middle   Ages  and  will  serve  as  a  good  jumping  off  point  for  our  first  unit  of  study,  the  Renaissance,  once  the  school   year  begins.    When  school  starts  in  August,  you  will  have  regular  homework  assignments  in  this  class  as  well   as  your  other  classes.  Thus,  we  strongly  recommend  that  you  take  advantage  of  the  end  of  summer  to   complete  the  assignments.       You  can  access  this  assignment  digitally  through  the  NPHS  website  (www.nphs.org)  under  summer   assignments,  grade  10  or  through  Mr.  Ellis’  website.  NOTE  THE  ASSIGNMENT  IS  THE  SAME  FOR  ALL   ENROLLED  EUROPEAN  HISTORY  STUDENTS,  whether  you  will  be  in  Mr.  Ellis'  or  Mrs.  Coull's  class.     Welcome  to  AP  European  History.         Sincerely,     Scott  Ellis  and  Tiffani  Coull   NPHS  AP  European  History  Teachers
