AP World History Basics Packet Put this in the front of your notebook and bring it to class everyday! 1 AP World History Margret Flusche margret.flusche@birdvilleschools.net Tutorials Daily (except Thursdays) from 2:45-3:15 Course Description AP World History is a challenging course that is structured around the investigation of selected themes woven into key concepts covering six distinct chronological periods. AP World History is equivalent to an introductory college survey course. It is designed to prepare students for successful placement into higher-level college and university history courses. It is also designed to develop skills of analysis and thinking in order to prepare students for success in the twenty-first century. The course relies heavily on college-level resources. This includes texts, a variety of primary sources, and interpretations presented in historical scholarship. Homework/Test Requirements Since AP courses are taught and graded based on college-level expectations, this course will significantly exceed the demands and expectations for a typical high school course. You must complete all assigned readings to be prepared for class. Tests, quizzes, and essays will be drawn from everything we do, including your outside reading. Just because something is not specifically mentioned in class, does not mean that it will not be evaluated. It is essential that once information is learned, it is not forgotten. Therefore, approximately 25% of questions on each multiple-choice Unit Test will be based on material from earlier Units. On some reading quizzes, you may be permitted to use notes and/or note-cards. o These notes must be handwritten by you and may not be borrowed from someone else. All notes used must be located in your Reading Spiral. o If you are caught using someone else’s note-cards and/or reading notes, this will be considered cheating and both individuals will receive a “0” for the quiz grade and a disciplinary referral. Grades will be promptly entered into Skyward. As an AP student, you are responsible for logging into Skyward on a regular basis and keeping track of your grades. Materials You must bring ALL supplies with you to class every day. Please do not ask class-mates for supplies. If you do not have the proper supplies to complete an assignment, you will receive a reduced grade or a 0 depending on how much of the work you can complete. Three-ring notebook with 6 dividers (1 for each historical Era) o All class work must be kept in your notebook, in the order that it is assigned. Notebook paper Spiral for Reading Notes Dark blue or black ink pens – all essays must be handwritten in ink Pencils on test days Highlighters (green, blue, pink, yellow, and orange.) Zipper pencil bag or Ziploc to keep pens, highlighters, etc Post-It Notes (tab-size) 3x5 Note-cards (keep the ones that we are currently using in your zipper pencil bag/Ziploc and keep the rest at home in a shoebox) Class Policies Late-Work Policy o If you come to class without an assignment that is to be turned in, please get a “0 Slip” and fill it out to hand-in when I take up the homework assignment. o One day late= Up to 70, BUT you must attend tutorials. If an assignment is discussed/graded in class the day it was due, it can NOT be turned in late. o After one day late= 0 o Long-term assignments/projects (Test Grades) will NOT be accepted late. If you are absent on the day a long-term assignment/project is due you must submit it via email on the day it is due. 2 Make-up Work o You must check the class web-site for handouts, Power Points, etc. when you are absent. If you have any questions about these, you must come into tutorials, Hawk Time, or email me. Class time or the 5-minute passing period will not be utilized for this. o Any work (notes, readings, tests, quizzes, etc.) that was assigned prior to your absence is due upon your return to class. o Missed Tests/Quizzes must be scheduled immediately upon your return to school. You will have the same number of days that you were absent in which to make-up Tests/Quizzes. If the Quiz/Test that you missed during your absence has been returned and/or discussed with the class, then you will have to take a different version/format of the Quiz/Test. o Extra-Curricular Absences: If you miss AP World History class due to a school-related absence, you must obtain all work PRIOR to your absence. No extra time will be given to complete this work. Any assignments that are due on a day you will be missing due to a school-related absence must be turned in PRIOR to your absence. A make-up date for Tests/Quizzes must be scheduled PRIOR to your absence. Test Re-Takes o No re-takes will be offered for Era (Unit) Tests. However, you may complete test corrections during after-school tutorials. Due dates for corrections will be announced once all tests have been taken. o If you fail a Geography, Dates, or ID Test, you may re-take the test within 48 hours of receiving your grade. You must schedule your re-take time within 24 hours of receiving your grade. If a curve was given on the original version of the test, the curve will not be applied to the re-take version of the test. Tutorials o I am at school every day until 3:15. Please try to let me know ahead of time if you plan to attend tutorials so that I make sure not to leave my room to run copies, etc. When you arrive for tutorials please sign-in. Class Rules Come into class ready to learn. o All phones, iPods, tablets, ear buds etc. must be kept put away in your bag/pocket/purse at all times or these items will be taken up. o Focus on what we are working on in class. Do not bring in work for another class or work on homework during class (if you do so, the other work will be taken up.) o You must be sitting, with your materials out, by the time the bell rings. The bell does not dismiss you. o No grooming in class. (This includes spraying cologne, perfume, applying lotion, etc…) Respect all others at all times. o This course incorporates much class discussion, partner, and group-work. It is critical that students follow all instructions and respect each other. o Do not use profanity, insult others, or speak crudely/hatefully. o Please throw away all trash and put away all supplies before you leave the classroom each day. No food or drinks are allowed in class. o The only exception is bottled water. o I have a severe airborne allergy to peanuts/peanut butter so these items can NOT be brought into the classroom under any circumstances. Academic Integrity Policy o Plagiarism is the use of another person’s written ideas without proper citation. This includes downloading essays or portions of essays (whether it be a sentence, paragraph, or page), copying another student’s work, or allowing a person to write an essay that a student calls his own. The disciplinary actions for plagiarism or cheating for all students involved are as follows: Student will receive a zero (which cannot be made-up) for the assignment and a discipline referral. BHS dress code, electronic device policies, and school rules will be strictly enforced. Failure to follow class rules will result in an after-school detention. If the behavior is severe in nature, then you will receive an immediate discipline referral. If after serving the detention, class rules are still not followed, then you will receive a discipline referral. AP Exam Information All students MUST take the Mock AP Exam. This exam will be administered on a Saturday in the Spring. The date for this will be announced at least 3 weeks ahead of time. All students MUST take the AP Exam.

If an essay question asked you to address a region (as they frequently do) you need to be able to talk about the region in general and to talk about several countries within that region as examples. North Africa Algeria Egypt Libya Tunisia Egypt Morocco Western Sahara East Africa Djibouti Ethiopia Madagascar Somalia S. Sudan Eritrea Kenya Sudan Tanzania Mid East/SW Asia Armenia Yemen Azerbaijan Bahrain Georgia Iran Iraq Israel Jordan Kuwait Lebanon Oman Qatar Saudi Arabia Syria Turkey United Arab Emirates (UAE) East Asia China (PRC) Japan North Korea Mongolia South Korea China (ROC, Taiwan) West.

Haiti Jamaica Puerto Rico Trinidad & Tobago 7 8 9 10 11 12 How to Read (and REMEMBER!) Managing Reading Area and Time 1. Create an effective reading area (lots of workspace, minimize distractions) – NOT on your bed – PUT YOUR PHONE IN ANOTHER ROOM! 2. Small portions of time – Use a timer – Start by reading for 5 to 10 minutes (maybe use a kitchen timer) – Gradually increase each session 3. “Vacation” list (not a doodle sheet) – Sheet of paper next to you – Random thoughts?--write them down on paper – At end of reading, take quick “vacation” Pre-Reading 1. Skim Chapter Reading Guide – Quick quiz after you skim them (This is VERY VERY important!) 2. Look over ID’s – Write them on Post-It’s to use when reading – Quick quiz after you write them Reading 1. Skim sections in chapter – Move index finger, pen, or pencil down middle of reading • Notice topic headings • Look at visuals • Skim words • Look for & tab (place Post-It’s near) ID’s – Quick quiz after you skim each section (This is VERY VERY important!) 2. Speed read text – Start by reading a paragraph at a time • Eventually read several paragraphs before you stop to take notes – Move index finger, pen, pencil, or 3X5 card down middle of reading • Follow model of how you pleasure read • Push the story along • Allow your eyes to look for: • Capitalized words • Numbers • Strong words • Do not worry with small words like a, an, etc. • Fill in “story” of text using closure – Get one or two pieces of information per paragraph • Does NOT have to be the “most important” – Take notes into PERSIAN charts, answer Guiding questions and Reading Guide – Do timelines and maps – Notice change and continuity, and comparisons – Quick quiz as you read/take notes (This is VERY VERY important!) 3. Before you begin to read each day: – Look over previous notes – Quick quiz over your notes (This is VERY VERY important!) 4. After you have read each day: – Look over your notes for the day – Quick quiz over those notes(This is VERY VERY important!) If you follow these steps, you will find that you will spend LESS time reading and officially “studying” for tests. 13 Note-taking 3X5 ID cards **Good for review of factual material – YOU MUST MAKE A CARD FOR EACH ID Make notes on ID’s on 3X5 cards a. Front is term b. Back is who/what/when/where/why is it significant, including words and images Can be color-coded Put the cards for the Era we are studying in a zipper pouch or Ziploc in your AP World History binder. You must have these with you each day. After each Era Test, organize and store in a box at home for GREAT end-of-year review 1. 2. 3. 4. PERSIAN Charts **Good for Empires/Civilizations – helps with making Comparisons Political Economic Religious Social Interactions Arts and Sciences Nature Venn Diagrams & Comparison Charts **Good for looking at similarities and differences 1. 2. Create overlapping circles or rectangles Fill with information on subjects Topic Taxes War Treaties Marriage Federal Federal income tax Declare war Make treaties with foreign powers -------------------- Concurrent Power to tax ----------------------------------- State Income tax ------------------------------------- ------------------ Regulate marriage requirements 14 Conrad-Demarest Model of Empires 1. Necessary preconditions for the rise of empires – the region must have: a. State-level government b. High agricultural potential of the environment c. An environmental mosaic d. Several small states with no clear dominant state (power vacuum) e. Mutual antagonism among those states f. Adequate military resources (or a military or technological advantage) 2. States succeed in empire building if they have an ideology that promotes personal identification with the state, empire, leader, conquest, and/or militarism. 3. Characteristics of well-run empires: a. Build roads and transportation systems, canals, ports, etc. b. Trade increases c. Cosmopolitan cities – art and education flourish d. Effective bureaucracy to ensure communication, collect taxes, oversee coinage, ensure the emperor’s laws are enforced e. Common official language (communication) f. System of justice, law for entire empire g. Citizenship or rights extend in some degree to conquered; must be some buy-in 4. Major results of empire: a. Economic rewards, especially in the early years, redistributed to elite and trickles down to other classes (esp. merchants, scribes, etc.) b. Relative stability and prosperity c. Population increase 5. Empires fall because: a. Failure or leadership; focus on wealth, etc. not the needs of the state b. Ideology of expansion and conquest leads to attempting new conquests beyond a practical limit: overstretching of bureaucracy, military, resources, communications c. Lack of new conquests erodes economic base and lessens faith in ideology that supported the empire d. Rebellions from within/challenges from without 6. Consider also the issues of hegemony vs. dominance and core vs. periphery a. Hegemony – acculturation and assimilation of conquered peoples for a peaceful empire. b. Dominance – conquerors promote themselves and their culture at everyone else’s expense. c. Core – traditional lands on conquerors and how they treat those within versus those new lands (Periphery) they conquered (taxes, laws, etc.) 15 CORE-PERIPHERY MODEL 1. Core Most economically diversified, wealthy, and powerful 2. Semi-Periphery Nations that are midway between the core and periphery 3. Periphery Least economically diversified/developed CORE Countries: Description: England, France, Holland Strong, central government Extensive bureaucracies Large mercenary armies Rising bourgeoisie Improved labor Urban centers because of migration Improving farming techniques Enclosure Commercially-oriented farmers SEMI-PERIPHERY Countries: Description: Spain, Portugal, Italy Lacked middle class Exploited periphery Power struggle between government and landed aristocrats Limited access to banking Limited manufacturing Countries: Description: Poland, Latin America, Eastern Europe Imported goods Inflation Bullionism Countries: Description: Russia Outside of world economy Internal market PERIPHERY EXTERNAL 16 AP World History Jargon Below is a list of words you will encounter at some point during AP World History. I do not expect you to know all these words before the course, but I do expect you to know them by the end of the course, and each chapter/unit will add several more examples to your vocabulary. Note: these are far from all the words you may encounter this year. You’ll learn far more new words/phrases in your English class that will also help you write better historical essays and understand your assigned historical readings. These are just the words that have a specific application in history. abolition absolutism administer / -stration admonish /ment Afroafter-life agrarian Ameranalyze / analysis anarchism / anarchy ancient ante bellum anti-semitism apathy appease / -ment arable archaeology archaic architecture -archy argue / argument artifact artisan aristocracy atheism asceticism austerity authoritarian / -ism balance of power balance of trade barbarian blockade border (national) boycott bourgeoisie broker (v.) bullion bureaucracy / -cratic cabinet (governmental) capital / -ism capitol capitulate cartel caste casualty causation celibacy / celibate central / -centric century circa (c. ca.) city-state citizen civilization / civilized chauvinism chivalry class struggle classical clergy coerce coincidence colony, colonial commodity communal communism conflate conjuncture conscript / -ion conservative constitution (small “c”) conflate consumer / -ism contemporary contest (v.) context continent contingency / contingent convention / -al converge converse (v.& n.) convert (v. & n.) corporation / corporate corollary correlation cosmopolitan coup d’état -cracy (autocracy, democracy) craft (n. & v.) credit currency current Darwinism de facto debit debt decade deficit deforestation deity / deism delay (v. & n.) democracy demography demon / -ize destiny determinism dictator / -ship diffuse / diffusion diplomacy / diplomatic diversity / diverse divinity / divine doctrine / doctrinal document (v. & n.) dogma / dogmatic domestic draft (v. & n.) dualism dynasty eclectic economy/ economic edict edifice / edify egalitarian elite emancipate / -tion empire /emperor emporia encounter enlighten entrepót epidemic era ethic ethnic / ethnicity / ethnoeunuch Euroexecutive (branch) expense explicate explicit facade fascism feminism feudalism fief / fiefdom figurative filial fiscal forage fortnight frame of reference fraternize / -zation free trade frontier fundamental / -ism gender genocide geoglobalization government -graphy (demography, geography) guild haggle hegemony heliohierarchy historiography hyperhypohypocrisy / hypocrite identity ideology impede / impediment imperialism implicit incarnation / incarnate indenture (v.) independence indigenous industry / -trial / -ism inherent inherit inverse / invert irrigation -ism / -ist / -ize judiciary / judicial juncture junta kin / kinship king / kingdom laissez-faire -lateral (uni- bi- multi-) the Left legislature / legislative legitimacy / legitimate liberal 17 -logy majority malmalnourish / -nutrition mandate (v. & n.) manifest manifesto manuscript maritime material materiel matrimatriarch matrilineal medieval mercantilism merchandise merchant merit /meritocracy mesometametallurgy metaphor / -ical metropolitan middle class migrate /migration military / -ism millennia / millennium minister (n. a diplomat) minority modern / -ity monarch /monarchy monastery /monastic monetary mono- (-gamy, -poly) monsoon mortal /mortality mutate nation nation-state nationalism negotiate neo netherNGOs (non-gov’t org) nobility / noble nomad /nomadic nun optimism oracle oral orate ordain orthodox / orthodoxy pacifism / pacify pagan paleopanpapacy / papal pastoral paternal pathogen patri(patriarch / -archy) patrician patrilineal patron / -ize peasant peccadillo penultimate peon / peonage period perspective pessimism philia / -philic / -ophile phobia / phobic pilgrim / pilgrimage plague plausible plethora plurality point of view political / politics polypolygamy postpragmatism / pragmatic pretext priest primary principal principle proletariat promulgate propaganda protectorate protoprovidence province / provincial push-pull factors psychoquagmire qualify quandary quantify quantity quest racism / racial radical rare / rarity rational / rationale raw material rebel / rebellion reform regime register (n. & v.) regulation reincarnation republic revenue revolt revolution the Right rimland rural Russosacred sarcasm scholar score (a unit of time) secede / secession secondary sect secular sedentary segregation serf / serfdom shaman / -ism Sinoskepticism / skeptical slavery Social Darwinism social democracy socialism socio-economic sovereignty / sovereign state (n.) status quo strata / stratification subsubmerge subordinate (v. & n.) subsistence subvert / subversive surrender syncretic / syncretism synthesis tangible tariff temporary terminal territory / territorial terrorism text / textual textile theo- (theology, theocracy) Third World topography totalitarian tradition trust (n.) uber ultimate ultimatum unanimity / unanimous unify / unity union (n.) urban utopia / utopian venerate / venerable verbal / verbalize vermin vernacular viceroy xeno- (xenophobia , xenophobic) the West working class world-systems theory Units of Time century2 fortnight millennia / millennium score Be sure to know how a particular year corresponds to a century.
