Welcome new and returning students to AP Human Geography at Lane Tech College Prep! This summer we would like you to complete some self-study activities. Next year you will be entering Lane from a variety of primary school programs or, if you are upperclassmen, you may need to review what you learned in World Studies. Therefore these activities will help everybody gain the foundational knowledge required to better understand the AP Human Geography content. Most of the readings are quite short and the videos are entertaining. When school starts in September, there will be an assessment as to whether you have covered the material. Make sure to read the following eleven pdf files. They can be accesses here under “Summer Assignments” here: https://sites.google.com/site/stepekaphumangeography/classroom-news/summerassignments# And, if needed, use the crash course videos on you tube to supplement your understanding: Map quiz websites have also been included in order for you to start familiarizing yourself with the location of countries, cities and physical features across the globe.
