2020-2021 AP Human Geography Summer Assignment
What am I doing? Labeling world outline maps with the features listed below building an understanding of the political and physical geography world regions. Why am I doing this? Part of entering an AP class is an assumption of a certain level of background knowledge and skills. You will need a strong working mental map in order to be successful in this course. When are the maps due? The First Day of School How many maps should I submit? 15
Map 1 – Map Basics Map 9 – North Africa & the Middle East
Map 2 – Land Features Map 10 – E Asia, C Asia, S Asia, and SE Asia
Map 3 – Rivers and Lakes Map 11 – Central and South Asia
Map 4 – Seas, Gulfs, and other Major Water Features Map 12 – Oceania
Map 5 – North America and the Caribbean Maps 13 – World Regions A Big Picture
Map 6 – South America Maps 14 –World Regions A Closer Look
Map 7 – Europe Maps 15 -- United States
Map 8 – Sub-Saharan Africa
What do I label on each map? Each map has a list of countries, cities and/or regions to label. The list and corresponding numbers will serve as the key. Label each element with the correct number in the correct location. Only items labeled on the correct maps will be scored and tested. Countries are listed in regular font and cities are listed in italics. NOTE: Bolded items have emphasis in APHG. When is the first map test? There will be one test in the first 4 weeks and more through the year. It is essential that you build a mental map of the world and the placement of states (countries), cities and natural phenomena. How do I study? Studying for map tests takes time and preparation. The first step is to find each feature and label blank outline maps. Use the list below and quiz yourself by labeling blank maps and seeing how much you know. Listed below are links where you can test yourself online. Coloring the map is optional (except for map 13 and 14), but will (WILL!!!) help with memory. Online Map Quizzes

General Advice
❖ Use a pencil for labeling, then go over it in a fine tip blue/green/red pen or if you trust yourself, skip the pencil :)
❖ Use a ruler❖ Use a current Atlas or Google Maps❖ There may be something you need to draw in or there may be
extra city dots. ❖ This is a study aid, so go slowly and make sure you can read it.❖ Coloring sections really does help commit places and features
to memory.
