Your World History teachers have had wonderful things to say about you and I'm looking forward to having a great year. We start off with summer reading. Because we are stretched for time, I have you guys begin with a textbook assignment. You should read chapters 1-4 from the American Pageant textbook to be picked up during registration or from your World History teacher. If you have not yet received a book, me at kathy.hicks@bvsd.org and we can work out a time to get one to you. You should take thorough notes on your reading and you will be given a reading quiz on the first day of school whereby you will be allowed to use your handwritten notes (nothing computer printed will be allowed). If there are events or people or concepts for which you have further questions after reading, your job is to pursue other resources (books, online sources, etc) to complete this task. Develop strong study skills over the summer and it will benefit you in the end! You will be tested the first week of school next year on the first four chapters. This test will be an example of all the tests you will take next year and it will simulate the AP Exam to be taken next May - 55 multiple choice questions, 4 short answer questions, a DBQ (document based question) essay and a Free Response question essay. This test will be based on your understanding of the summer reading and will be taken BEFORE we have any class discussions or lectures.
