AP Human Geography Students,

As part of entering our AP Human Geography class in August it is important for you to acquire a certain level of background knowledge of map skills. Your general understanding of important maps and locations will be imperative to your success in this class. You will need to complete the following series of maps to create your own AP HUG World Atlas. We will refer back to these maps frequently over the year as we prepare for the AP Test in May. These 8 maps will be due on the first BLOCK period of the new school year and will serve as your first 100 points in the class. Maps not received fully completed on the due date will be accepted for ½ credit. Please be sure to follow all directions completely paying careful attention to required colors, symbols, and neatness. Please contact me at the email address above if you have any questions. Do not wait until the very last minute to begin your maps! The earlier you complete your maps, the sooner you can begin preparing for the test that will occur during the first two weeks of school.

Map Guidelines
