2019-2020 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! August 28(A)/29(B)
How many maps should I submit? 14
Map 1 – Map Basics Map 8 – Sub-Saharan Africa
Map 2 – Land Features Map 9 – North Africa & the Middle East
Map 3 – Rivers and Lakes Map 10 – E Asia, C Asia, S Asia, and SE Asia
Map 4 – Seas, Gulfs, and other Major Water Features Map 11 – Central and South Asia
Map 5 – North America and the Caribbean Map 12 – Oceania
Map 6 – South America Maps 13 – World Regions A Big Picture
Map 7 – Europe Maps 14 –World Regions A Closer Look
What do I label on each map? Each map has a list of countries, cities and/or regions to label. Use this list as a
key and label the country or city on the map.
When is the first map test? Tests will vary by teacher but there will be one test in the first six 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 11 and 12), but will (WILL!!!) help with memory.
