Mr. Weakland A.P. European History 2014 Summer Assignment weaklana@delawarecityschools.net School (740) 833-1010 x4036 The summer assignment for A.P. European History is fairly straightforward, and should give each student some of the background necessary to jump into the curriculum prescribed by the College Board. What you need to do is to read the packet of material (it’s the first chapter of the text so – you’ll have the chance to see the complexity of the material…), and complete the assigned questions, vocabulary, and packet. The questions and vocabulary are typical of what will be assigned each chapter as we go through the year, though there are usually more questions. The homework packet will also be a typical assignment that you will have an option to complete. We will not review this material in class as the year begins, but will have a test on the material the first full day of class (multiple choice and essay). If you have any questions for me, my school email is: . Feel free to contact me with questions, but you will need to be ready for the test when school begins, so I encourage each of you to make the necessary effort over the summer. I like to make this course accessible to all who want the challenge, but only if you are willing to do the work, and if you are dedicated enough to keep up with assignments. With that in mind, make sure that you’ve given the reading enough time, and also make sure that your answers are complete, so that you benefit from the assignment. By the way, I’ll normally assign questions/vocabulary on a daily basis to cover the assigned reading, and will collect each day the – questions/vocabulary for the day. This is a new policy designed to encourage students to come to class prepared/with a basic understanding of the material on a daily basis. If you are unable to find one of the vocabulary terms in the chapter, get online and use the Internet to search it out remember that the A.P. test in the spring is a nation-wide test, and is not simply – based on the material in our text. When possible, I’ll provide you with some of the extra vocabulary/topics that may not be covered in our book. Enjoy your summer and I look forward to working with you in the fall. Sincerely, Mr. Weakland
