AP World History
February Break Packet
Foundations Review

“Foundations” is the name that the AP Exam gives

to the first periodization – 8000 BCE to 600 CE.

As you read, recognize that your essay prompts on

the AP Exam could very well come from this era –
constantly consider how the different topics
compare, contrast, and show continuity and
change over time.

Directions: This packet will take you through the Kaplan AP Prep book, pp. 67-98. As you
read, look to jot important notes down in this packet. Some of the sections ask you to fill in
certain charts, others simply ask that you take notes yourself.

The packet will be worth a 20-point quiz grade – a big grade, as I really want you to
complete it. A perfect packet will have every section complete and will demonstrate
understanding as well as reading. Do NOT simply copy the text. Put it in your own words to
gain understanding.

Enjoy break, and I’ll look forward to starting back up with World War II when we return.

**Note – acing this packet would bring quiz averages way up! If you got a 60% on our last
quiz and got 20/20 here, you’d have an 88% quiz/test average. How awesome is that?!
 Foundations
(8000 BCE – 600 CE)

Why This Periodization?

Why do the AP people (also known as the College Board) have start and stop dates at 8000
BCE and 600 CE?

February Break Homework

Directions: Read the following text about public speaking. Once you have finished reading it, write a reflection to
these questions on a separate sheet of paper.

1. What is one thing that you learned while reading this? What is so important about this skill or idea?
2. What are two things you are most nervous about for your presentation? Why?
3. What is one thing (you have to have one) that you think you will do well on during the presentation? Why?
4. What is one goal you have for your presentation? How do you plan to prepare to meet your goal?

Effective Presentation Skills and

Public Speaking Tips

I'm going to give you ten effective presentation skills and public speaking tips so that the next time you speak you really
knock 'em dead.

1. Pay attention to logistics. A poor room setup and microphone can ruin an otherwise great presentation.

2. Use appropriate humor. Every audience expects some degree of entertainment value.

3. Address hecklers. Hecklers in business audiences are the know-it-alls that hate every speaker. Try to interview them
ahead of time to get on their good side so they don't try to undermine your presentation.

4. Reveal yourself. To help create rapport tell some personal things about you, your family or even your dogs.

5. Use emotional language. Choose your words carefully to push the emotional buttons of the audience members.

6. Use props to make points. They break up the presentation and make you more interesting.

7. Practice. There is no substitute for practicing parts of your speech over and over until the words flow easily.

8. Move the audience to action. There is no sense getting up to talk unless you get the audience to do something
because of your appearance.

9. Research the audience so that your comments can be absolutely targeted to them.

10. Bring solutions. If you've researched your audience well, it should be easy to bring possible solutions to their
problems. You will always be welcome back if you do this.

Public Speaking:
Learn Public Speaking Material Easily
Using Bits (AKA Chunks or Series)

A bit is a section of public speaking material that is so related that it makes it easy for you to memorize. Each point flows
naturally from one to the next so you can deliver the information without notes (if you know your material).

Until I learned about bits, I never thought I could be that great at speaking because I'm not great at memorizing long
talks. I discovered that no one memorizes long talks. They have a mental or written outline consisting of key words that
trigger the individual bit in their minds. Pros use this concept to be able to deliver long presentations to the public
without the use of notes.
Becoming less dependent on notes has several advantages. When you stand before a group and speak without using
notes your credibility automatically rises. The audience thinks, 'Wow! This person really knows the material.' Since you
won't be tied to a lectern or forced to hold notes, you can get physically closer to the audience, or actually enter the
audience on occasion. The closer you are to them, the better you will connect. When you leave the script at home you
can speak naturally to the audience rather than read to them. You will also be more confident because you no longer
have to worry about your notes getting lost.

Using bits has another big advantage. We are busy people. It's tough to find a spare hour or day to practice a full public
speaking presentation. Bits can be practiced when you have a few minutes here and there. You will be more likely to
practice your material (and we all need practice) if you can practice a three or five-minute chunk rather than the whole
presentation.

Public Speaking:
How to Relax for Your Talk

We've all heard that the fear of death is second only to the fear of public speaking. That may be true, but if you're
looking for one of the cheapest and most effective methods of promoting your service or product, concentrate on the
positive results of doing a presentation. Think of the contacts and prospective clients you'll be generating with just 20
minutes in front of an audience.

In case accentuating the positive isn't enough to keep the butterflies in your stomach in line, before you step up to the
podium, take time to work through these exercises to help you channel all that nervousness into energy.

Physical Preparation: Warm up and relax your body and face.

 If you're wearing high heels, take them off. Now, stand on one leg and shake the other. When you put your foot
back on the ground, it's going to feel lighter than the other one. Now, switch legs and shake. You want your
energy to go through the floor and out of your head. This sounds quite cosmic; it isn't. It's a practical technique
used by actors.
 Shake your hands...fast. Hold them above your head, bending at the wrist and elbow and then bring your hands
back down. This will make your hand movements more natural.
 Warm up your face muscles by chewing in a highly exaggerated way. Do shoulder and neck rolls. Imagine that
you're eye level with a clock. As you look at 12, pull as much of your face up to 12 as you can; now move it to 3,
then down to 6 and finally over to 9.
 All of these exercises serve to warm you up and relax you. Those exaggerated movements make it easier for
your movements to flow more naturally. Now concentrate on the potential customers you'll be cultivating with
your talk. Aren't you getting a warm feeling just thinking about that?
 Go on--step up on the podium and profit from the experience.

Infertility & In Vitro Fertilization
Directions: Reproductive medicine is a rapidly changing field; new scientific discoveries are made
every day! Read the following article and highlight key-terms and definitions while you read. After
completing the reading, answer the opinion and review questions on the last page of this packet. This
assignment is due MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28th 2011 when you return from break.

E ver hear the phrase "test-tube baby"? Then you may

know that it is a misleading way of referring to a baby
conceived through in vitro fertilization.

All babies develop from two different cells that join

together- the sperm and the egg. Women are born with about
a million reproductive eggs that are produced and developed
in the ovaries, organs which are located within the abdominal
cavity. Men produce millions of sperm each day in organs
called the testes. Knowing this, it seems that couples who want to become parents should have no
problem doing so. But one of every 12 American couples who want to have a baby cannot because they
are ―infertile‖.

What is infertility?

Infertility means not being able to get pregnant after one year of trying (or six months if a woman is 35
years of age or older). Women who can get pregnant but are unable to stay pregnant may also be
infertile. Infertility can be caused by any number of medical problems. Low sperm counts or poor-
quality sperm sometimes cause infertility in men. Problems that affect ovulation or the ability of the
ovum to enter the fallopian tube and move to the proper place for fertilization can cause infertility in
women

Is infertility just a woman's problem?

No, infertility is not always a woman's problem. Both women and men can have problems that cause
infertility. About one-third of infertility cases are caused by women’s problems. Another one third of
fertility problems are due to the man. The other cases are caused by a mixture of male and female
problems or by unknown problems.
What increases a man's risk of infertility?

A man's sperm can be changed by his overall health and lifestyle. Some things that may reduce the
health or number of sperm include—

 Heavy alcohol use

 Drugs
 Smoking cigarettes
 Age
 Environmental toxins, including pesticides and lead
 Health problems such as mumps, serious conditions like kidney disease, or hormone problems
 Medicines
 Radiation treatment and chemotherapy for cancer

What things increase a woman's risk of infertility?

Many things can change a woman's ability to have a baby. These include—

 Age
 Smoking
 Excess alcohol use
 Stress
 Poor diet
 Athletic training
 Being overweight or underweight
 Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
 Health problems that cause hormonal changes

How do doctors treat infertility?

One of the options open to infertile couples is in vitro fertilization (IVF). Normally, conception takes
place inside a woman's body, in the fallopian tube. However, when a couple has difficulty conceiving in
the traditional manner, in vitro fertilization allows for conception outside the body.

During IVF, a physician will give a woman special medicines, known as fertility drugs which boost her
egg production. Normally, a woman’s body will release one egg per month. Fertility drugs tell the
ovaries to produce several eggs instead. The doctor then collects eggs from the woman at the time of
her ovulation, using a small surgical procedure. The eggs are put in a petri dish (or test tube) and sperm,
provided by the man, are added to them. The sperm and egg remain in the dish or test tube for a few
hours to fuse together. (This is how the misnomer ―test-tube baby‖ came about. It is misleading because
babies cannot grow in test tubes.)

The next step is for the fertilized egg to be transferred into the woman's uterus. If the fertilized egg
becomes implanted inside the uterus, the woman becomes pregnant.
While the very early stages of an in vitro conception take place in an unusual manner, the rest of the
pregnancy, including the delivery of the baby, can be expected to take place normally. Even though
conceived differently than most, the baby doesn't look any different and, in fact, is no different from
other babies. The very first IVF baby was born in 1978. Since then, IVF has become a quickly growing
field of medicine, showing how medicine and technology join together to overcome an obstacle of
nature.

Why do some people argue against in vitro fertilization?

When it was first invented in the late 1970’s, in vitro fertilization faced a lot of opposition from
scientists, religious groups, and even the general public. Over time, as it is become more widely used, it
has gained more acceptance. However, critics of IVF argue that it creates several ethical questions
which must be answered:

- Disposal of unused embryos – a physician will often prepare multiple fertilized embryos
and implant only a few in a mother, destroying the rest. Many religious groups argue that
destroying these extra embryos is the same as destroying life.

- Health of IVF babies – although most studies show that babies who were conceived through
IVF are as healthy as those conceived through sexual intercourse, some studies have shown
that IVF babies may have a higher risk of getting certain cancers.

- Age of the parents –older and older couples have used IVF as a method to get pregnant
beyond the time they would naturally be able to. Recently a 61 year old woman was able to
successfully have a baby after undergoing in vitro fertilization. Some individuals argue that
this is unhealthy for mothers and bad for children since their parents may be too old to care
for them – for example, the 61 year old mother will be at least 84 before her child graduates
from college.

- Designer Babies – new businesses have created an industry where people will buy and sell
sperm and eggs based on desirable traits. Parents can now buy sperm and eggs from
attractive, Ivy-League educated donors and hire a surrogate mother to carry the resulting
embryos produced by IVF. Critics argue that this is similar to unnaturally designing your
own baby.

- Risk of multiple pregnancies – a doctor may decide to implant several fertilized embryos in
the mother’s uterus to increase the chance that at least one will grow and develop into a fetus.
This can sometimes backfire, however, if multiple embryos develop. Some mothers have
become pregnant with as many as 8 fetuses this way (Octomom). This can lead to dangerous
complications for the mother and fetus including internal bleeding.
