Recommended Summer Reading

The assignment is to read the FIRST CHAPTER of the "Language of Composition" textbook in its entirety.  DO NOT complete the activities within the chapter but DO read through them thoroughly.

Though not required it would be exceedingly beneficial to take notes as you read the chapter.

The pages for the reading in the linked PDF are 39-76, though they are pages 1-38 in the physical textbook page numbers.

AP World History: Modern ~ Summer Assignment 2023

Teachers: Barber, Gerwatowsky, and Tickler

Welcome to AP World History: Modern* We are looking forward to meeting you in the fall. The goal of this assignment is to expose students to a condensed and synthesized preview of AP World History. Due to the rigor and pacing of this course, MVHS AP World instructors found it beneficial for students to be exposed to a general overview of the curriculum over the summer break. (*this link to the Course Framework produced by the College Board for AP World History: Modern)

All work will be handwritten, and handed in on the first day of school. For assignments that a digital graphic organizer or map is provided, please print out completed students' work and bring with them other handwritten work. 

We will also have a discussion in the first week of school where students will be evaluated on their participation and quality of their comments to show they completed assignments. 

If you have any questions regarding this summer assignment please feel free to email any of the three teachers. We wish you all the best this summer and look forward to the 2022-2023 school year.
