AP European History Summer Work Summer Work Instructions Welcome to the challenging, rewarding, and hopefully enjoyable AP (Modern) European History Program – the single greatest course offered at Auburn High School. Our journey this academic year begins with the following AP/pre-IB European History summer assignments. The degree of thoughtfulness and effort exerted in the completion of these summer assignments tends to correspond to both the preparedness with which students will enter the course and the scores received for these assignments. The content material is to be learned and understood, not simply memorized and regurgitated. It is acceptable for students to form study groups to discuss the content; understanding often comes from actively discussing and explaining material. However, splitting up the assignment, stealing (with or without permission) another student’s answers, or any other degree of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will result in a zero. Please keep in mind that late work is unacceptable without an appropriately excused absence. Should you need any assistance over the summer you may contact Coach Cummins at rcummins@auburnschools.org or Mr. Sanker at sesanker@auburnschools.org. We will attempt to reply with all deliberate speed; however, please be patient. Part I: Map of Europe
