High School Summer Work AP and Honors Level Courses Summer 2015 SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT AP Courses and HONORS Level Assignment PSHS AP Modern European One of the major differences between a “regular” history course and an Advanced Placement course is that an AP course moves more quickly. The AP exam will be given in May 2016, and it is important for us to have completed the curriculum by that time. In addition, there are unforeseen interruptions such as snow days and assemblies that will make the pace even more challenging. Therefore, summer work is a necessity. As you are doing this work, you should keep in mind that its purpose is not merely a grade, but is ultimately to help you master the material. I advise you to do yourself a favor and complete the work carefully and completely. All assignments with the exceptions of the museum project and the paper on The Prince should be handwritten in ink . All assignments should be submitted in this envelope st on the first day of school (September 1 ) and no assignments will be accepted rd after September 3 . The summer work will count as 100 points toward your term 1 grade. The Assignments: I. Map of Europe: Complete the map according to the page of directions. This map does not need to be handed in but should be at the front of your notebook for easy reference. It is intended for your own use in preparing for a map quiz that will be given during the first week of school. The date for the quiz will be announced on the first day of class. II. Chapter 28 of the Sherman book (Pages 260288) : Read the primary and secondary source documents and examine the pictures in the chapter. Prior to the readings and the pictures there is a section labeled Consider . Although they are not listed as questions consider them as such and give detailed answers in complete sentences. Also answer the three questions listed at the end of the chapter. III. Paper on The Prince : Use the attached assignment sheet to complete your paper. IV. A day at the museum : Use the attached assignment sheet to complete your project. High School Summer Work AP and Honors Level Courses Summer 2015 V. Chapter 30: “The Cold War.” Read the chapter and complete the list of identifications (items with an asterisk only) and answer the questions, using complete sentences. Then, read the primary source documents and complete the study guide. I am looking forward to seeing all of you in the fall and if you have any questions during the summer you can email me at [email protected]. I will not be checking my email every day but I will get back to you. Have a great summer. THE PRINCE You will read the book The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. This book is considered by most as the handbook for world leaders. Written in 1513 many world leaders to this day still use elements from the book as a guide for ruling. After reading the book you will write a paper that answers the following questions: 1. What is the general theme of the book? 2. Can modern leaders use the advice offered? Why or why not? 3. What type of government would be most successful using the advice and which would be the least successful? 4. Pick three quotes from three different chapters and: a) explain in your own words what the quotes mean b) describe how the quotes apply to modern politics 5. How did the following leaders use advice from the book; what advice did they use, and have they been effective in using it? The leaders are: a) Joseph Stalin b) Winston Churchill c) Margaret Thatcher d) Adolph Hitler e) Otto von Bismarck Your paper should be one comprehensive paper that answers all of the questions listed and not a series of separate bullets. My suggestion to you is to understand the book first, then answer the questions, and then try to find a common theme around which to center your paper. This assignment should be typed using a one inch margin around the page and double spaced. Your paper should use Chicago style formatting which means using footnotes. Your paper should be between five and ten pages in length and answer all the questions listed above. High School Summer Work AP and Honors Level Courses Summer 2015 Day at the Museum Over the summer you are to visit an Art museum of your choice. I would recommend the Boston Museum of Fine Art but feel free to choose one of your own. You are to choose an European painting from the 1500’s to present day and explain what the painting means to the period and you. Follow the process listed in the Sherman book titled “Using Visual Sources: The Early Modern Chateau.” I want you to come up with ten (10) questions that help you understand what the artist is saying about the people, culture, and society of the time period. tm You will present your findings by creating a PowerPoint presentation that: 1. shows your painting with a brief (one paragraph) background of the painter. 2. explains why you chose the painting that you did. 3. includes your ten questions with answers and visual evidence that support your findings. 4. shows your conclusions of the piece which should include what the painter is saying about the people, culture, and society of the time period. This project should have a total of 12 to 15 slides and a bibliography slide. Submit your ticket and a map of the museum you visited along with your presentation. Your presentation should be on a flash drive or a readable disk. Rubric For Museum Day 1. Shows your painting with a brief (one paragraph) background of the painter. ______/5 2. Explains why you chose the painting that you did. ________/5 3. Includes your ten questions with answers and visual evidence that support your findings. _______/20 4. Shows your conclusions of the piece which should include what the painter is saying about the people, culture, and society of the time period. ______/10 _______/40 High School Summer Work AP and Honors Level Courses Summer 2015 PNHS AP Modern European One of the differences between “regular” history classes and an Advanced Placement course is that an AP course moves more quickly. The AP exam will be given in May, 2016, and it is important for us to have completed the curriculum by that time. Taking the AP Exam is a st requirement and payment for the exam will be asked for by October 1 . Accommodations can be made for those who wish to pay for them over time. In addition to the importance of covering curriculum, there are such unforeseen interruptions as snow days and assemblies that make the pace even more challenging. Therefore, summer work is necessity. As you are doing this work, you should keep in mind that its purpose is not merely a grade, but is ultimately to help you master the material. Therefore, I advise you to do yourself a favor and complete the work carefully and completely. All written assignments are due the first day of school. The summer work will count as 100 points toward your first quarter grade. We typically do a chapter every week to ten days, followed by a chapter test and/or writing assignment. This class requires a lot of outside reading, research and preparation. If you are concerned about the summer work and/or course expectations you need to think carefully about taking the class. Keep in mind once the class starts you cannot drop. The Assignments: Make copies of IIV for you to keepI want the original copy DO NOT TYPEHAND WRITTEN ONLY! I. Maps of Europe (Eastern and Western)Complete maps according to the page of directions. The map does not need to be handed in, but will be checked off.
