Hello All New Sophomores….

Below are all the links and files you need to complete the summer assignments for AP Euro. I know you don’t want to do the asignments over the summer, but this class moves at a very fast pace and you need to have a little preperation prior to stepping foot into my room.

If you have any questions as your working on this, please feel free to email me. I am traveling for the month of June and the beginning of July, but will try to respond to all emails as soon as I can. Email me at mr.mikulec.ib@gmail.com
