Summer Studies
Do you need to complete any of these tasks to pass AP World History? Nope! Will you receive any grade for completing it? Nope! But if you are nervous about going into the course or have struggled with history this last year, these activities will give you a good foundation so that the start of the year goes a little smoother for you. Turn in proof of these studies on the first day of school for a special reward.
