AP EUROPEAN HISTORY SUMMER ASSIGNMENTS Mrs. Winrow
Yes, it's true. Summer is a great time to do some reading and thinking. Summer readings prepare you for the rigorous study of Europe's history beginning with the Renaissance through 2000. Join me in August for an adventure and the challenge of learning 500 years of history.
Visit this website often to become familiar with the information. I look forward to seeing you in August. We will have a great time as we share a love for European history.
