Summer reading

Worksheet

Summer reading

All work must be done in a notebook or on a word doc.  Work is due the first day of class.

Vocabulary sheet - review by copying these down in your notebook and take the quizzes:

Quiz #1

Quiz #2

Quiz #3

Watch these video clips one per week - read aloud after each sentence and then write sentences that you don't understand or are new to you.

Answer the 24 questions in conversational Chinese.

If you have any questions, please contact Guo Laoshi.

The purpose of this worksheet is to re-familiarize yourself with material from your introductory course in Biology.  The AP Biology curriculum is designed based the assumption that you remember this material, as well as material from your introductory Chemistry class.

Using your old notes or a textbook, please work through the review sheet.  This worksheet will not be graded, but I will collect it to see that it was completed and to see what areas require review.  Please do not discount this assignment because it is not graded.  Much of the work in AP Biology will involve reading, studying, and reviewing independently; in other words, tasks that are not graded.  However, these are tasks that will determine your success in the course.  Again, re-familiarizing yourself with this material will help immensely as we go through the more advanced content of AP Biology. 

Please turn in the review sheet on paper or by email.

Dear AP Chemistry Student,

Welcome to AP Chemistry! AP Chemistry is a difficult course, but you will succeed if you keep up with assignments and be willing to spend time working through the material. Because of the fast-paced nature of AP Chemistry, there is a summer assignment to make sure that everyone is at the same starting point before the beginning of school in September. The first week of class will mainly be a review of what you’ve learned in your first-year chemistry course. It will include the following topics: chemical foundations, atoms, molecules, ions, and stoichiometry (chapters 1-3 of our textbook).

The summer assignment is a review packet of these first three chapters and are available on here.  There are also other resources including some refresher videos, PowerPoints and notes. Feel free to use all available resources for your review including last year’s class notes and anything else that may be helpful. The purpose of the summer assignment is two-fold. First, many students tend to lose basic chemistry skills throughout the summer without practice. While I am not setting official interim deadlines, I would highly encourage you to work through this review packet periodically throughout the summer. Set goals and deadlines for yourself. Part of being an AP student is to learn how to be self-regulated. A potential and reasonable goal is to have Part I: Chemical foundations completed by the end of June, Part II: Chemical formulas completed by the end of July, and Part III: Stoichiometry completed by the first day of school. In other words, do not save the assignment for the last few days before the start of the school year. The second purpose for the summer assignment is to get through the first few review chapters quickly in order to give at least two full weeks for review prior to the AP College Board exam. The assignment should take you no more than 3-4 hours total to complete. It is expected that you complete the assignment by September 7th, 2020. You may complete it in your OneNote Notebook or submit a hard copy. Late assignments will have 20% deducted each day it is late. In addition to the assignment (it will be graded; worth 200 homework points), please take some time to memorize the common polyatomic ions also posted on the Portal. There will be a quiz during the first few days of class on the polyatomic ions. The Unit 1 exam will also occur within the first full week of school and cover the topics within the summer assignment.

Good luck!

Kindly,
Dr. Setty

AP Human Geography studies the patterns and processes that have shaped how humans understand, use, and alter the Earth's surface. In order to discuss our world, we need to share an understanding of basic geography. Therefore, your summer assignment is to memorize world maps. Details can be found here.

Students are expected to complete five chapter outlines and six Crash Course videos on Edpuzzle, with deadlines every other week during the summer.

You should have just received an invitation to Google Classroom for next year's APUSH class.  I'll be posting assignments for you to work on this summer.

The biggest change from last year to this year is that we're going to be trying out
an online textbook. This means that you can access it for free from anywhere, and once
you create a free account at OpenStax you should be able to highlight and take notes in
your browser as you read. You can also download the free OpenStax app to easily access
your textbook from your phone, download the whole book as a PDF (which would allow you
to print it on paper or in OneNote), or even purchase a printed copy if that's what you
prefer. Each week during the school year, you will read one textbook chapter and complete an outline plus a few critical reading questions.

Our other main resource will be John Green's Crash Course US History videos, which I'll be
assigning through Edpuzzle. Each week during the school year, you will watch one ormore Edpuzzle videos that complement the assigned textbook chapter and answer questions throughout the video(s).

Over the summer, you will be assigned roughly one week's assignment every two weeks.

AP World History covers approximately 1200 CE to the present. Hopefully, you’re aware mankind did not appear suddenly 800 years ago. This leaves a whole lot of history from the origin of hominids to 1199 CE. In order to understand those preliminary years, please read Tom Standage’s A History of the World in Six Glasses. This book  provides an informative and compelling overview of those years, proving that throughout time, the drinks that people consume have reflected their culture. Answer and be ready to hand in (and discuss in a group discussion) on Google Classroom these questions.
