AP World History Pre-Course Reading Assignment
Introduction to the AP World History Course Themes (You will use the themes for the summer reading activity.)
The purpose of AP World History is to study the history of the world through global movements, by looking at the big picture and examining specific events based on themes. The major themes for the course are: S-P-I-C-E
Development and Transformation of Social Structures (SOCIAL) Gender Roles and Relations Family and Kinship Racial and Ethnic Constructions Social and Economic Classes
State building, Expansion, and Conflict (POLITICAL) Political Structures and Forms of Governance Empires Nations and Nationalism Revolts and Revolutions Regional, Trans-regional, Global Structures and Organizations
Interaction between Humans and the Environment (INTERACTION) Demography and Disease Migration Patterns of Settlement Technology
Development and Interaction of Cultures (CULTURE) Religions Belief systems, Philosophies, and Ideologies Science and Technology Arts and Architecture
Creation, Expansion, and Interaction of Economic Systems (ECONOMICS) Agricultural and Pastoral Production Trade and Commerce Labor Systems Industrialization Capitalism and Socialism
Historical Periodization
The AP World History course content is structured around the investigation of course themes and key concepts in six chronological periods. The six historical periods provide a sequential framework for the course.
Period 1: Technological and Environmental Transformations (to 600 B.C.E.)
Period 2: Organization and Reorganization of Human Societies (600B.C.E. – 600 C.E.)
Period 3: Regional and Transregional Interactions (600 C.E. – 1450 C.E.)
Period 4: Global Interactions (1450 – 1750 C.E.)
Period 5: Industrialization and Global Integration (1750 – 1900 C.E.)
Period 6: Accelerating Global Change and Realignments (1900 – present)
B.C.E. stands for “Before the Common Era” which historically was referred to as B.C. “Before Christ”.C.E. stands for “Common Era” which was referred to as A.D. “anno Domini - In the year of the Lord”.
In other words, B.C. is now B.C.E., and A.D. is now C.E.; CollegeBoard uses the new abbreviations on the exams.Name: __________________________________________________ Date: ______________ Class: ______
The Mental Floss History of the World: An Irreverent Romp Through Civilization’s Best Bits by Eric Sass and Steve Wiegand
Directions: Read the book The Mental Floss History of the World: An Irreverent Romp Through Civilization’s Best Bits by
Eric Sass and Steve Wiegand. Find social, political, interaction, cultural, and economic examples while reading each of the following chapters. Fill in the S-P-I-C-E charts, timelines, and maps electronically. Save it to a safe place for uploading when you
finish. In each box, a quote with a lead-in, analysis, and parenthetical citation of the page number must be provided
along with the descriptions as evidence of your comprehension of the example and the AP World History Course Themes.
For a detailed description of the AP World History Course Themes, go to https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/digitalServices/pdf/ap/ap-world-history-course-and-exam-description.pdf and review the themes on pages 17 – 20.
Upload this assignment to www.turnitin.com. Turnitin.com checks for plagiarism. We know that the program will identify the descriptions of SPICE in the chart as plagiarized. We ignore this, so don’t worry about it. We simply want to be sure that you complete the charts in your own words.
Lead-ins & Documentation: A lead-in links the quotation to what surrounds it in the context of your paper. All quotations must have a lead-in. At the end of the sentence, provide parenthetical citation with the author’s last name and the page number. Follow carefully the examples below:
The “blended” lead-in (which cuts some of the quoted material to blend right into a sentence created by the paper writer) State universities are admitting more students through “special remedial programs” (Agee 23).
The “sentence” lead-in (which uses a sentence directly related to the quote followed by a colon to introduce the quote) English instruction should be examined by educators: “Public school teachers, college professors, and students need to sit down together to evaluate the system” (Agee 23).
The “somebody said” lead-in (which states the author’s name and adds a verb followed by a comma) Jane M. Agee comments, “Many students who would not have attempted college seven years ago are now coming into state universities” (23).
(Example)Cultural
Religion: Egyptians believed that the dead’s heart was weighed by Anubis the god of death who “determine[d] whether they had behaved justly while alive” (Sass & Wiegand 9). This belief helped to control the behavior of the Egyptian citizens.
