AP Human Geography World Map Summer Assignment
What am I doing? Labeling world outline maps with the features listed below.
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 of the world and key locations on it in order to be successful in this course.
When are the maps due?
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. You can use the list below and quiz yourself by labeling a blank map and seeing how much you know.
Listed below are links where you can test yourself online. I highly recommend using the Sheppard Software site.
