Homework:  You will be having TWO things to do by Thursday:

1. Complete summer reading vocabulary quiz in Schoology.  There are flashcards on Quizlet to help you. You can take the quiz up to 5 times and I will take the highest score.
2. You need to go over to AP World History Plus Art and read through the chapters in the Foundations section.  This will give you a good overview of the unit plus introduce you to some art that might appear on the AP test.  You can do one of two things:

                a. Complete the webquest on paper (you'll need to print it out)  OR
                b. Take notes on paper

(Hint: On that website there is a practice vocabulary quiz and a content quiz.  It'll be a good idea to go through those quizzes to see how you do (nudge, nudge, hint, hint)

You will have a short reading quiz over this on Thursday in class.  You will be able to use your notes or the webquest on the quiz.

Test over Foundations.

You need to start reading the textbook. We are starting with Chapter 4, "Eurasian Empires."  You need to take notes on the reading, as we will be having a reading quiz in class next Monday.  You will be able to use your notes on the reading quiz.  This reading is 55 pages long---so you will need to pace yourselves---about 7-8 pages a night if you are to do a little each night.
