AP World History Summer AP Assignments 2013 Checklist

___ 7. After reading each chapter, you will need to complete a chapter “key terms list”, in which you will define
and provide significance for all bolded / italicized terms in your chapter. In your definitions, you will need to
provide: the “who” (persons, groups, parties, dynasties, etc.); the “what” (ideas, events, use, conflicts, etc.); the
“when” (specific dates); and the “where” (region, country, city, etc.). For the significance, you will need to address
the “how” and “why” (cause & effect). Each key term should be about 4-6 sentences in length. Title: Key Terms

___ 8. Complete the SGRQ’s (study guide review questions) at the end of this list. Make sure your answers are
thorough. Include names, dates, events, etc. Responses should be about 6-8 sentences in length. Title: SGRQ’s

___ 9. After you have read, completed the key terms and SGRQ’s for each chapter, go to the online learning
center to complete: (A) the multiple choice quiz; (B) the true/false quiz; (C) the short answer quiz for each
chapter. Each quiz has about 10 questions that you will answer (of course you can use your notes and text to
help you). You will not be graded on these quizzes but I expect you to take advantage of this self-check
exercise—it is a great tool to help you gauge whether or not you are able to comprehend the main ideas of each
chapter. The website is
