AP EUROPEAN HISTORY SUMMER ASSIGNMENT – 2017

Welcome to AP European History! I am so excited about this course. It will be an

informative and insightful journey through the intellectual, social, political, economic,

and cultural history of Europe. Thank you for joining the class.

Our studies begin in the Renaissance, but since your class this year ended with the

race to space, we will pick up there and then go back to the late Middle Ages. By

covering the last 2 chapters of the book as well as the 1st chapter of the book over the

summer, there will be extra week at the start of the year to introduce terms associated

with the AP curriculum and an extra two weeks at the end of the year to review for the

AP exam. Although AP European History is “only “the history of a continent, the breadth

and depth of the curriculum is challenging. Consequently, we need to get a head start

on our work with an AP Summer Packet. The summer assignment includes map work

and an assignment for chapters 1,21, and 22 of the Kagan text. ALL the work is due on

the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. There will be bonus points for work submitted early.

EARLY dates are included at the end of this introductory letter.

It is imperative that your work be completed and ready to turn in the first day of school. I

intend for the class to be seminar-based, but your preparation by reading the material

and completing assignments out of class is absolutely fundamental. We cannot have

lively, informative discussions if students have not done the readings or the homework.

Preparation for the AP exam requires that we maintain a faithful, rigorous, and timely

adherence to the AP European curriculum framework and schedule. As with all AP

classes, writing will also be a significant component of the class.

ALL early work will be graded by the 1st day of school.

ANY work NOT submitted early will be due on the FIRST day of school. Late assignments will lose 5 points per day late (so the entire 4 part assignment will lose 20 points PER day late).

WOW———-YOU JUST FINISHED THE WHOLE TEXT BOOK!!!OOPS—not really! NOW go back to chapter 1 WORK!!

Head this work: NAME, Chapter 1, Intro to Period 1 (1450-1648) CHAPTER 1: KAGAN (75 points TOTAL)

PART 1: Terms and/or Vocabulary (50 points) It is a useful study habit and technique to work with vocabulary/terms/ or people, places

or things. If you do these well, you will have a good set of notes for unit tests, quizzes

and the all-important AP exam. Since we will cover the Renaissance period at the

beginning of school and have a test within the first two-three weeks of school, these

terms provide important foundations for our first unit.

Listed below is a helpful guide to correctly “doing” or completing terms from an AP Euro

site. Please follow this format when completing your list. YOU do NOT have to do this in

chart form—this is just an example!

●Terms do not have to be in complete sentences but they must be in your own words. ●The TERMS are listed in the chart below. Savonarola is already done. You DO NOT

have to rewrite it.

○ Do not copy from the book. Use your own words.

● They can be typed or clearly handwritten and should provide the following information: ○ Who or what is it and when? Where? ○ What happened or what did they do? Was there anyone/anything else involved? ○ Why did it happen? Why is it historically significant? ○ If it is a person, you must include any books/works of art, etc. associated with the person in the text

# Girolamo Savonarola

a. Dominican friar b. Florence (1452-1498) c. Concerned about morality of Florence and the corruption of its leaders, the de’ Medici family, had a large following with his inflammatory sermons that warned about punishment from God, which Savonarola saw as French King Charles VII’s invasion in 1494. Savonarola became a leader of Florence for a time, instigating the “bonfires of the vanities” until he was excommunicated by the Pope & killed. d. Shows instability of Italian city-states, the influence of stronger powers (France), and the start of political domination of the Italian city states by foreign powers (France/ HRE)
