Welcome to AP Geography also known as APHUGs. We wish to share our enthusiasm and fascination with the world as we lead you through to the May 2017 College Board Exam. This assignment is designed to have you ready for our first day of class and to help you keep materials organized throughout the year. It contains three parts and all are due the first day of class. If you have any questions, contact: [email protected]

Part I: MDC & LDC Profiles.

 Each student will select 1 More Developed Country (MDC) and 1 Less Developed or (LDC) from the list below to research throughout the year. Before you select your MDC and LDC country, use this source to preview a few . (Some countries have “better” or more thorough information which will make life easier for you in the future.) https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world- factbook/index.html . Print out your 1 MDC and 1 LDC country’s profile. The print-out will be long (8-9 pages for each country), but it will allow you to quickly access important data for in-class work. Place this important information in under the TAB “Country Profiles” in your AP HUGS binder as you complete Part II of this assignment.
