AP World Foundational Period Review

Your mid-term exam is coming next week!  The test will be a mini-AP exam, with between 40 and 50 multiple choice questions and two essays, one of which may be outlined.  We will spend the week in review of the material we've covered this year.

As part of the review, the themes of the course are:
Humans and the Environment (demography, disease, migration)
Interaction between cultures (Religions, Philosophies, science, art, architecture and technology)
State Building, Expansion and Conflict (political systems, rise of empires)
Growth and interactions of economic systems (agriculture, trade, labor systems)
Development and transformation of social systems (gender, social system, family/kinship)

The regions we looked at today were: China, India, Africa (Bantu) Latin America,  Oceania and Mesopotamia/Egypt.

Today in class we reviewed the Foundational Period.  Below are images of the review sheets that were composed in class.  There will be a 10 Question Multiple Choice Quiz tomorrow on the Foundational period, which is chapters 1-6.

AP World History: The Nomadic empires

Tomorrow in class you will be writing a change over time essay about the nomadic empires of the post-classical era.

Now is also a good time to point out that we have a mid-term coming up that will cover all the material we've covered from chapter one through chapter 18.  I strongly encourage you to start going over the notes you took way back when to start refreshing your memory!
