Summer Assignment

AP World Summer Assignment

Welcome to AP World History!

This page is to inform you about your mandatory summer assignments. We have summer assignments to prepare and dive into our curriculum when school begins because we start almost a month later than most schools and the AP exam is the same for everyone.

Over the summer, you will need to complete the tasks listed below.

If you should have questions about the assignment, any problems, or concerns, please feel free to email and I will respond as quickly as possible. I look forward to getting to know each of you and to embark on a study of the history of the world. Good luck, have fun, and we'll see you in the fall!

Task:

1. Read the book A History of the World in Six Glasses. This is a highly acclaimed book that examines the role of six beverages - beer, wine, distilled spirits, tea, coffee, and cola - in human history. In doing so, the author covers important historical themes from the Neolithic Era to the present.
2. Using the attached document found at the bottom of the page, answer the questions and have them prepared to turn in on the first day of school.
