  1. How to Read the APWH book

  2. Understand how the book is organized • Periodization pages • Bentley’s periods differ from those the College Board uses • Explain the major features of that time period • Units of about 6 chapters that cover major regions for that time period • Each chapter covers one region or two, sometimes it is a “sum it all up for the time period” chapter • -Each chapter starts with a vignette and picture to hook you or get your curious • Blue headings and Read Subheadings • Marginal Notes • Maps, Primary Source documents, Art, Architecture • Summary at the End (not great, do not copy  instead make a summary using parts PERSIAN) • Concludes with Chronology (helpful when making a timeline)

  3. Hanumanasana

  4. Can’t do Hanumanasa right away! Need to warm-up…my point? • DON’T IGNORE THE PRE-READING!

  5. Approach to Reading • Pre-reading • WARMUP!!! Only 5-15 minutes • Skim pictures, headings, marginal notes, etc.  turn into questions • Who, what, when, where, how; compare/contract • During Reading • FIRST READING  NO NOTES! JUST get a sense for what’s important • SECOND READING: Annotate (names, dates, PERSIAN, diffusion, Common Phenomenon, syncretism, similarities/differences between regions) • OUTLINE STYLE • About 2 pages of notes (front and back); 4 pages total • Post Reading • Write a summary using parts PERSIAN • Create “Doing World Questions” • Write thesis statements (I will teach you that later….) • Take online quiz!!!

  6. Outline Style • BLUE HEADINGS in ROMAN NUMERALS • RED HEADINGS get a # • Everything else just gets a bullet • Do not write in full sentences • Continue to be indented (don’t go back to the red line)

  7. Summary • Indent! • Use PARTS PERSIAN and write some sentences about these parts • ONLY WRITE the most important info • About 10 sentences

  8. Doing World History Questions • Cornell Style ( ? On left and answer on right) • In page 8 of your toolkit! • Big Picture • Compare/Contrast • Diffusion • Syncretism • Common Phenomenon

  9. Big Picture • Timeline! • Five events, one must be a band • Answers a question

  10. Compare/Contrast • Must show BOTH a similarity AND Difference

  11. Diffusion • What is spreading • Can draw arrows • Really good to do with economic, disease, technology, language

  12. Syncretism • What is mixing/blending? • Can be drawn

  13. Common Phenomenon • What is happening in two different places at the same time INDEPENDENTLY of the other place • Agriculture being invented in various river valley civilizations • Iron metallurgy being discovered at around the same time in Southwest Asia and Africa

  14. STUDY! • After all your notes are done, study for the test! • Reread your lecture notes • Ask more questions of the marginal notes • Take the online quiz

  15. Next steps • Friday night: pre-reading • Saturday morning: 1st read • Sunday: Re-read and take notes • When reading Chapter 5: • X pronounced “Sh” • Xia  “Shia” • Zh pronounced “Joh” • Zhou  “Joh” • Q pronounced “Ch” • Qin  “Chin”
