The reading homework can quickly become unmanageable if you don't keep up with the schedule. The best strategy is to block time to read every night so that you are always prepared for class and the material is understood and learned. Rome wasn't built in a day and the same applies to your knowledge of European history. 2. As you read LOOK UP WORDS YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH. Write these words down in your study guide and/or notebook. The writers of the AP European 3. ASK QUESTIONS in class when you are confused or struggling to understand ‐ chances are others would like clarification as well. History Exam expect you to have a college‐level vocabulary. It's your job to develop your vocabulary. 4. TAKE NOTES as you read and during the lectures in class. Be an active reader and note‐taker, ask questions and summarize as you go AND review when you are finished. The text cannot be read as a novel – you MUST be engaged in the reading. 5. BUDGET YOUR TIME thoughtfully ‐ don't underestimate the amount of time you need to do your reading and complete assignments. 6. Form small STUDY GROUPS to review for tests and make sure that when you get together that you stay on task. 7. REVIEW past chapters as we go through the course ‐ it will continuously help you to see and understand the big picture of history. 8. THINK OF HISTORY as a story unfolding for you throughout the year. Become intrigued in the personal stories, emotional battles, exciting ideas, amazing 9. STAY ORGANIZED ‐ purchase four 3‐ring binders (one for each term) and dividers to organize your study guides, notes, essays, articles, and other materials by accomplishments, disheartening (and sometimes humorous) failures, and the fascinating and often strange personalities of the people we are studying. chapter as we advance throughout the year. When it comes time to review in the spring you'll have everything at the ready and your review time will be more purposeful. ‐ 2 ‐ 10. BE IN CLASS ‐ everything we do every day has purpose. When you are not in class you are indeed missing something important ‐ a step along the journey. 11. PREPARE for tests appropriately ‐ if you are in the habit of "cramming" the night before the test, you will be disappointed with your results in this class ‐ you must read each night. There is just far too much content to "cram." Be persistent; read and prepare each night ‐ it's a college‐level course. 12. ASK FOR HELP if you need it ‐ perhaps with your writing or in preparing for exams; it's important that you talk with your teacher. Teacher Expectations and Policies 1. No food or drink is allowed in class. Water is permissible if it is in a clear bottle with a cap. Electronic devices of any kind are not permitted. 2. We expect students to accept responsibility for their choices regarding behavior and priorities. 3. Students are expected to complete all assigned tasks on time and to attend class on time. Late work is not tolerated. 4. We expect students to develop and maintain a work ethic that will enable them to be successful. 5. Students are expected to participate and contribute in classroom discussion, and note taking. 6. Students will afford the teacher and their peers respect and dignity ‐ anything less is unacceptable. 7. Cheating in any form is not tolerated! You WILL exercise academic integrity ‐ if you fail in this endeavor you will be disciplined according to EVHS guidelines and your parents will be notified. You will not receive any credit for the assignment, test, essay, etc. Further, we will not write any recommendations for you for college entrance, scholarship, and/or recommendation for any awards such as EXCEL and AAA. If you are an NHS member, the consequences are also severe. 8. Class time is scheduled for the study of European History; completing work for other courses during our class time is UNACCEPTABLE. 9. You are expected to be in class on the day of a test, essay, or seminar. If you’re not in class the day of a scheduled test, essay or seminar, your parents need to contact the teacher. Failing to make this communication jeopardizes your opportunity to make up the activity. Also, a record of who is absent on test days will be publically posted in the classroom.

Also, take an active role in learning. Don’t just sit back, listen, and watch others learn.” Evan Sanford, class of 2006 now attending Columbia Don’t wait until the day before a test to cram…there’s far too much to learn. You’re going to love this class!” Sean Gibbons, class of 2007 now attending Notre Dame “Find your favorite parts of history and talk about it with your friends. Think about the history, make the connections and recognize the change over time…have fun!” Kristen Hanson, class of 2005 now attending the University of Minnesota “Seek to continuously make connections in the material. Look for historical trends and apply these macro ideas to small details. This connects it all.” Ishanaa Rambachan, class of 2004, BA from St. Olaf College 2008, now attending Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar “Buy an AP Test Review book and refer to it constantly throughout the year as a supplement and review to classroom material.” Jean Chung, class of 2007 now attending Emory University “STAY ON SCHEDULE! Euro is like a field trip; once you’re behind you’re lost!” Phil Titcombe, class of 2007 now attending Macalaster College “To become what you are capable of becoming, take the initiative for your own learning and challenge yourself beyond your own expectations.” Irina Vaynerman, class of 2006 now attending Harvard ‐ 3 ‐ AP EUROPEAN HISTORY ‐ EUROPE TOUR 2009 Each year, AP European History students are afforded the opportunity to bring their studies to life with a spring break trip to Europe. This year’s tour will depart on Friday, March 20, 2009 for London, D‐Day Beaches, Loire Valley, and Paris. Imagine, after all you have learned about European history exploring the great cities of London and Paris with your friends – visit Big Ben and the British Houses of Parliament while riding the “London Eye.” While in Paris of course we’ll see the iconic landmark – the Eiffel Tower; we’ll also walk the halls of the Louvre as well as the cathedral of Notre Dame.

You leave your home secure in your own knowledge and identity. But as you travel, the world in all its richness intervenes. You meet people you could not invent; you see scenes you could not imagine. Your own world, which was so large as to consume your whole life, becomes smaller and smaller until it is only one tiny dot in time and space… You return a different person.” ‐Kent Nerburn, Letters To My Son ‐ 4 ‐ Further Reading Many students enjoy the opportunity to read beyond the textbook to gain a greater understanding of all aspects of European history.

A Socratic Seminar is an in‐depth discussion in class, in which we will try to understand the concepts, ideas, and values of some of the most significant documents from European history. The seminars take their name from Socrates, who taught his students through the art of conversation and through posing difficult questions for them to expand their minds. There are several purposes for the seminars in this course. The first is to do some in‐depth analysis of some of the most important, influential, or controversial documents in European history. This will also help to prepare you for the AP exam, where you will need to do your own analysis and interpretation of primary source documents. Additionally, these seminars will help you to improve your listening and discussion skills, to become more actively involved in your learning, to think more clearly and critically, to learn from your classmates, and to take responsibility for in‐class discussion. Students stop for lunch at a cafe in Paris – June, 2003 Field Trip Experience We plan to take one field trip experience during this course. Listed below is a brief description and stated purpose of the experience: Spring 2009 ‐ Field trip experience to St. Paul's Cathedral and the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The purpose of this field trip is to review, examine, and analyze the architecture, and design of the Cathedral to aid in reviewing for the exam. At the museum students will review, compare and contrast, and analyze change over time, the various periods of art history. Students will complete an activity that will lead them through the gallery of European art. Dates of the field trip as well as details and parental/guardian permission and the required fee will be announced in advance of departure. Preparing & Reviewing for the AP Exam To be successful on the AP exam, it’s essential that you prepare and review throughout the school year. This course is a large commitment of time and scoring well on the exam and your experiences serve as a reward for your hard work. The exam demands that you spend time reviewing the content as well as have a solid understanding of writing and analysis strategies. You must prepare throughout the year if you expect to score high on the exam ‐ here are some strategies to help you: Purchase an AP European History REVIEW BOOK online or at a local bookstore and USE IT throughout the year to help you prepare for the test. SCHEDULE TIME each week to review for this class – make it part of your weekly study routine. Stay ORGANIZED! Keep your notes and study guides organized in a 3‐ring binder with dividers so they are easily available for you to access when you review. Form a STUDY GROUP and schedule times to meet throughout the year. Stick to the schedule and make a commitment to each other to prepare and score well on the exam. Make FLASH CARDS throughout the year of the major events and personalities.
