AP World History: Modern
Summer Reading 2021
The AP World History: Modern summer assignment is to read the prologue section of
the AMSCO AP World History: Modern Textbook, which can be found at the bottom of this file.
The AP World History: Modern curriculum places an emphasis on the history of the world from
approximately 1200 CE to the present. The course has students investigate world history for
significant events, individuals, developments, and processes through five thematic learning
objectives including Interaction Between Humans and the Environment, Development and
Interaction of Cultures, State Building, Expansion and Conflict, Creation, Expansion, and
Interaction of Economic Systems, and Development and Transformation of Social Structures.
The AMSCO book is an excellent work of scholarship many of the occurrences in World History
before 1200 CE and will allow us to delve into these themes with greater depth in the fall.
Your assignment is to read the prologue section of the AMSCO AP World History:
Modern Textbook in its entirety. Read carefully; you will have an exam on the second day of
school. Study questions to guide your reading follow. These questions are to encourage you to
reflect upon broader themes of the period and assist you in critically analyzing the text. They
will greatly aid you in preparing for the exam if answered thoughtfully and independently.
However, you may not use your notes on the exam nor will I collect your notes for a grade.
They are simply to serve as a study guide for the exam.
Advanced Placement World History is a college-level survey class; therefore, students
are expected to accept the intellectual challenges that come with the course. Every student is
expected to complete the assigned text and prepare their own analysis of the reading. On the
exam, depth of analysis and a strong use of evidence will be the keys to success. Superficial
answers lacking either analytical depth or supporting evidence from the texts will be graded
accordingly.
I look forward to working with you next year. If you have any questions about your
reading over the summer, please e-mail me at lmaguire@bmchs.org. I hope you have a great
summer and enjoy your reading!
