Hi!
I'm currently a freshmen in high school and next year AP World History is being offered to 11 graders. We have a assignment already. I need to find out what text book they are using so I can get a head start over the summer.
I was wandering if anybody knows what book is normally used in the class. I know it's by spodek or spodak or something like that and the title is The World's History. I don't know what edition the book is as there is three of them.
I went on the teachers website and that latest homework assingment says 22, “China and India” (pages 767-799)and that's for this years class for April 11 2008. So I know it has at least that many pages and the name of the 22 chapter. I need to know what edition the book is.
Can anyone provide good tips for writing in textbooks sense I’m going to go buy the book and it’s my first time owning a text book. I’m not sure what kind of notations I should take in the book.
I also have to read Guns Germs and Steal over the summer. I would like to know what I should pay attention to while reading it.
In the first week of school I have to do a map of the world test on every single country and major bodies of water along with mountain ranges. I was wandering if anyone knew a good sight that could quiz me on these things so I can prepare in advance for the test on the whole world.
Any other tips on taking AP classes will be appreciated as it’s my first one.
I suggest you ask the AP teacher about the text book.
I also suggest you buy a paperback world atlas.

What makes you think the text this year will be the one next year?
Have your mom connect with the Principal on this, it is easy enough to find out, and I suspect the principal would like to know about your assignment.
Lastly, wondering is a great word. Learn to spell it.

Hello!
To find out which textbook is used for AP World History, you can try a few different approaches:
1. Check your school's website or course catalog: They often list the required textbooks for each class. Look for the details of the AP World History course and see if the textbook is mentioned there.
2. Ask your teacher or the current AP World History students: Teachers usually provide students with a syllabus or reading list that includes the textbook information. You can reach out to the teacher directly or ask any students who are currently taking the course.
Regarding writing in textbooks, it's a personal choice. Some students find it helpful to underline or highlight important information, write notes in the margins, or use sticky notes to mark key points. Others prefer to keep their books clean and use separate notebooks or digital tools for note-taking. Choose the method that works best for you and helps you stay organized and engaged with the material.
For reading "Guns, Germs, and Steel," pay attention to the author's main arguments and the evidence they provide to support them. Look for connections between different historical events, environmental factors, and social developments. Reflect on the book's central themes and consider how they relate to the larger context of world history.
To prepare for the map test, there are various online resources and apps available that can help you practice. Some popular ones include Seterra, Sheppard Software, and Lizard Point. These websites offer quizzes and interactive maps that can test your knowledge of countries, bodies of water, and mountain ranges.
As for general tips for taking AP classes, here are a few:
1. Stay organized: Use a planner or digital tools to manage your assignments, deadlines, and study schedule. Proactively plan your workload to avoid last-minute cramming and reduce stress.
2. Be an active learner: Engage with the material actively by taking thorough notes, participating in class discussions, and asking questions. Seek clarification whenever needed and take advantage of any resources provided by the teacher, such as study guides or review sessions.
3. Pace yourself: AP classes can be challenging, so it's important to avoid burning out. Break down your studying into manageable chunks, take regular breaks, and practice self-care to maintain a healthy balance.
4. Seek help when needed: Don't hesitate to ask your teacher for assistance or clarification. Additionally, forming study groups with classmates can be a useful way to exchange ideas and support each other.
5. Practice time management: AP classes often require additional readings and assignments. Learn to prioritize tasks, manage your time effectively, and avoid procrastination.
Remember, everyone's experience with AP classes is different, so find what works best for you. Good luck with your AP World History course and enjoy your journey through high school!
