Join the *AP European History Summer Assignment Course on Schoology Schoology Access Code: VFXB-5G64-V3HK9 The textbook you will need for this course is: Spielvogel’s Western Civilization, 10th ed.

AP European History Thank you for your interest in taking the Advanced Placement European History course. You will find this course to be challenging, informative, and rewarding. While a large portion of this class is geared toward learning material and skills that will help you prepare for the AP exam in European History, you will find that these skills will also benefit you throughout your high school and college education. Note: Students enrolled in Advanced Placement classes are expected to take the AP Exam in May. The cost of the exam is approximately $94.00. Financial assistance may be available to those students that qualify.

The Summer Assignment: Since there is a tremendous amount of material to cover, and a limited amount of time to cover it, the Summer Assignment is designed to give all of us a jump-start to the course. Students taking AP European History should check the Enochs High School’s website https://enochs.mcs4kids.com/ for specific information about the summer project. 1. Chapter 11 Reading Guide: Due Aug. 9 + Ch. 11 Quiz Aug. 9 Answers to the Reading Guide can be found in Chapter 11 of our textbook, Spielvogel’s Western Civilization, 10th ed. However, students can also use a variety of online, or other resources to help them answer the questions.

Your responses to the Chapter 11 Reading Guide will be due on the first day of school (Monday, August 9. You will also have a Chapter 11 Quiz on this day.

3. Additional Novel Study Project- In AP European history last year, multiple students requested “extra work” or opportunities to earn extra credit to help boost their grades at the end of the semester. In order to address that need, I will offer TWO additional assignments that can be completed to “bank” extra credit for use on ANY assignment for the course. There will be one for 1st semester and one for 2nd Semester. Students who complete the Additional Assignment will bank 100 Points of extra credit for their efforts.

The supplemental Extra Credit assignment for Semester 1 will be due on Monday, August 16th, 2021.

The supplemental Extra Credit assignment for Semester 2 will be due on Monday, January 10th, 2022. (Note: Semester 2 book topics will be available in November 2021)

Semester 1-Novel Study choices.

Read one (1) of the following books and complete the assignments below for the book you chose.

Roger Crowley Conquerors: How Forged the First Global Empire; A look at how the small nation of Portugal used the latest technology and the bravado of their men to change the course of history. APEH students who like adventures might appreciate this.

Lawrence and Nancy Goldstein Out of the Flames A story of one of the rarest books in history and how the Reformation leader John Calvin hunted down and burned its author at the stake with a copy of the book chained to his leg. (APEH bibliophiles might appreciate this.)

Thomas Cahill: Heretics and Heroes: How Renaissance Artists and Reformation Priests Created Our Word Explains how a wide variety of topics, such as the Italian and Northern Renaissance, exploration, Martin Luther, and the Dutch, were all part of shaping modern history.

Ross King Brunelleschi's Dome The story of the start of the Renaissance: the competition for and the building of ’s magnificent cathedral. APEH students who are more math/science oriented might appreciate this.

The Assignment---> *Write a summary of the whole book. A summary shows understanding through a discussion of the major features, trends, themes, ideas, and characteristics. It must fill two pages, but try not to be more than 2 typed pages (12 point font, single spaced). ● Use your own words. Combine ideas from the book into new sentences of your own. Avoid copying the original language, and put quotes around any that you do borrow. Summarizing is a good way to learn, to assimilate material, but the process doesn't work very well unless you translate the original into your own language. Your aim should be to give a true but condensed picture of the book. ● Generally, it is best when summarizing to follow the organization of the original. *Engage yourself with the book by completing at least seven (7) different entries into a reading log based from the list below. Each entry should be at least one page long, double spaced, 12-point font, normal margins. Do not repeat what you’ve read, rather apply upper level analysis and respond to what the author is saying. The entries need to prove that you have read and understood the entire book. Be bold. In a reading log, you can select from these: (Remember, each item from this list can only be used once, thus I expect to see seven different avenues of presenting the book’s information from this list.)

ℵ Explain how someone in your book challenged conventional wisdom: what did they believe and why? And why was it viewed as a challenge by others? ℵ While reading this book, what are you reminded of? ℵ What you don’t understand about this period in history? ℵ Pick two events from the book that surprised you, either positively and/or negatively, and explain why. ℵ Has this book changed your opinion about anything you previously believed? ℵ Write down three different quotes from various parts of this book and explain what they mean. ℵ Make up a poem symbolizing your book or a part of it ℵ Draw a scene from the book—describe where the scene takes place and what is happening. ℵ Explain how courage played a key role in determining a positive outcome in the book. ℵ Describe a scene from the book and explain how different or similar this scene would be in the year 2020 here in the United States. ℵ Compose 3 questions to pose to a person in the book and then compose what you think their answers to those questions would be – in other words, a mock interview. ℵ Explain how values of the people or a person described in the book are worth emulating or rejecting. ℵ Explain both sides of a major dilemma or problem faced by the people in this book. How would you have responded? ℵ Develop a “recipe” for the outcome in this book
