AP World History Textbook Homework Format

Whenever pages in the textbook are assigned, this is how you will do your homework.  Remember that you will also be given a grade for your part in the oral review in class.

1.  The AP Exam is divided into themes.  For each chapter you will create a chart based on those themes with the headings seen at the top of the page.

You will take notes as you read and decide where to place your information in your chart.  These should not be simple notes.  Each subheading can cover years or even centuries of history.  Start with more and you can eventually cut down as you learn more about significance.

**You must have a different page for every different group of people or area. You may make a “General” page if you find information applies to more than one group.

***Keep in mind if you do this well, you will have an excellent study guide source for ALL major tests AND of course for the AP exam.

GRADES:

Homework Overall will be worth 100 points.

You will receive 60 points for completing the assignment on time.  IF you miss ANY portion of the chapter you will lose 20-30 points and all points if at least half is missing.

You will receive 20 points for your oral participation in the review.

You will receive your final 20 points when you turn in ALL of your homework at the end of the term as part of your folder.  This grade will focus on the quality of your answers so you should fix any errors during the review.
