Summer Assignment 2018
The purpose of this summer assignment is for each of you to come to AP World
History with a broad understanding of the ancient civilizations. This will greatly
help the tight schedule that will need to be kept in order to cover material from
the ancient world to present time.
S P R I T E G Charts: Civilization Analysis In this course you will be asked to compare and contrast certain aspects of
civilizations as well as vast amounts of time. You will need to use your AP World
History textbook, Traditions and Encounters, A Global Perspective on the Past, Sixth Edition as well as FREEMAN-PEDIA (link on Schoology) to complete this
chart. Not every question will be answered for each civilization. Include specific
and general information. Most importantly, be complete! It is better to have too
much material than not enough. Provide one chart for each civilization. This will be
due the first week of school. There will also be a test on these charts the second
week of school. This test will cover the charts completed on chapters 1-5 in your
text. Please know that even though you are only being tested on a part of this
assignment, the entire packet must be completed by the first week of school.
To help with the above assignment, I encourage you to join the AP Summer Project
Schoology group; Access Code VVWHH-J8X5Q. Here you will find valuable
links, resources and will be able to communicate with each other. I will be
monitoring this group as well.

STEP TWO: AN EVENING WITH JOHN GREEN

4. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF AGRICULTURE?
5. WHAT IMPACT DOES AGRICULTURE HAVE ON THE ENVIRONMENT? 6. WHAT ADVANTAGES DO YOU THINK THAT EURASIA HAD WITH ITS ZOOLOGICAL SET OF ANIMALS COMPARED TO THE AMERICAS? 7. IF H-G HAD A “BETTER AND HEALTHIER” LIFEWAY, WHY DID PEOPLE BECOME AGRICULTURALISTS? 8. WHAT DO HISTORIANS SAY ARE THE DRAWBACKS TO COMPLEX CIVILIZATIONS AND AGRICULTURE?
1. HOW IS THE CONCEPT OF “CIVILIZATION” A USEFUL CONSTRUCT? WHEN IS IT NOT A USEFUL CONSTRUCT? 2. HOW DOES JOHN GREEN DEFINE WHAT CONSTITUTES A CIVILIZATION? HOW DOES THIS COMPARE TO OTHER DEFINITIONS OF CIVILIZATION YOU HAVE LEARNED? 3. WHERE DID THE EARLIEST CIVILIZATIONS EMERGE? WHY THERE?

1. JOHN GREEN BEGINS BY DISCUSSING ONE OF THE MOST OBVIOUS CONSEQUENCES OF AGRICULTURE...WHAT IS IT AND WHAT ARE THE MOST IMMEDIATE CONSEQUENCES FOR THOSE SOCIETIES? 2. HOW DOES MESOPOTAMIA COMPARE WITH THE INDUS RIVER VALLEY (IRV)? IDENTIFY BOTH SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES. THINK OF WHY A SPECIFIC SIMILARITY AND A SPECIFIC DIFFERENCE MIGHT EXIST. (THIS IS ANALYSIS; ONE OF THE MORE CHALLENGING SKILLS YOU WILL NEED TO DEVELOP).

HOW DID THIS COMPARE TO THE MESOPOTAMIAN WORLDVIEW? 3. HOW WAS EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION DIFFERENT FROM MOST OTHER RIVER VALLEY CIVILIZATIONS? WHY DO YOU THINK THIS WAS?
4. WHAT DOES THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PYRAMIDS REPRESENT? (NOT “WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE PYRAMIDS?”) 5. WHAT WAS THE MOTIVATION FOR BUILDING THE PYRAMIDS? (NOT “WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE PYRAMIDS?”) 6. WHAT PROTECTED EGYPT FROM OUTSIDE PEOPLES? HOW WERE THE EGYPTIANS EVENTUALLY CONQUERED BY SEMITIC PEOPLES OF THE MIDDLE EAST?
1. WHAT DO TEXTBOOKS NORMALLY DO TO THE RIVER VALLEY CIVILIZATIONS? 2. WHAT DO EGYPT, MESOPOTAMIA, ANATOLIA, ETC. HAVE IN COMMON?
a. TRADE: What did underwater archaeologists find on the shipwreck? b. WAR: What was one of the main drivers of economic growth? c. FAMILY: How did these civilizations share familial relationships?
3. WHAT ARE WE REALLY TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE USE THE WORD ‘CIVILIZATION’? 4. WHAT HAPPENED AROUND 1200 BCE TO MYCENAEANS, MINOANS, HITTITES, AND (PARTIALLY) EGYPT? a. WHAT CAUSED THIS? b. WHAT IS THE THEORY OF ARCHAEOSEISMOLOGISTS? 5. HOW DOES INTERDEPENDENCE IN THE BRONZE AGE HELP LEAD TO ITS DOWNFALL?
STEP THREE: THE BIRTH OF THE WRITTEN WORD HISTORY LITERALLY BEGINS WITH THE BIRTH OF WRITING. (PREHISTORY BEING THE TERM USED TO DESCRIBE THE TIME BEFORE). MOST OF EXISTENCE TOOK PLACE IN PREHISTORY. THIS YEAR, OUR TASK IS TO COVER HISTORY; THE TIME AFTER WRITING.

Group Work on Google Doc How do you know what you are supposed to know? AP Central and the College
Board tell you exactly what skills and knowledge you must have to complete this
course and to sit for the AP exam, May 16, 2019. On the Schoology Summer
Project group, there is a copy of the information that each of you will need to know
about the Foundations time period (8000 BCE-600 BCE). As a group (each of you
working together), complete this outline. Materials highlighted in dark green are
items that need to be either defined or identified. Materials in red are to be
completed as indicated throughout the outline. Please put your name before each
answer that you fill in.
I look forward to working with each of you in the fall,
Ms. Keyser
