2017 AP European History Summer Project

Transcription

1 2017 AP European History Summer Project Thank you for your interest in taking the Advanced Placement European History course. You will find this course to be challenging, informative, and rewarding. While a large portion of this class is geared toward learning material and skills that will help you pass the AP exam in European History, you will find that these skills will also benefit you throughout your high school and college education. (Note: Students enrolled in Advanced Placement classes are expected to take the AP Exam in May.) Since there is a tremendous amount of material to cover, and a limited amount of time to cover it, the Summer Project is designed to give all of us a jump-start to the European history course. Part I Read Chapter 12 The Crisis of the Later Middle Ages, and complete Chapter 12 term sheet. This term sheet should be answered in your own words (neatly handwritten in ink, NOT typed) and in complete sentences. You may use outside information (web based, or other written sources) to help complete your term sheet if needed.
