Welcome to the Digital Review Sheet for IA3! I hope this style, with the attached resources, will prove very helpful to you. You are required to answer all of the below questions, either on loose leaf or typed and printed. Since the numbers restart for each section, you are required in include on your answer paper the heading of every section of questions, as well as the title of this page as the title of your sheet.

I tried to link as many resources as I could right here within the review sheet for your convenience. However, all materials, including PowerPoints, readings, and worksheets can be found on my website, mrcaseyhistory.com. You can click on your class and skim through the lessons.

I have given you some but not all of the relevant Global Textbook summaries as a simple study resource. You can always find all those summaries on the Summaries page on my website, but I am linking them below in the relevant sections.

Don’t forget to refer to your own class notes as well, and your answers to the online homeworks, which you should be able to find in your email.

You should ABSOLUTELY also check out my Instagram @globalkhan for past review in the story highlights (look for multiple highlight tabs with Unit 5 and 6 in the title) as well as NEW REVIEW STORIES to be posted between now and the test, which give you a chance to ask questions and have responses posted for everyone. These will also be saved in the above-mentioned highlights, so if you miss them, that’s where they’ll be!

Quick Tips & AP MCQ Practice!

Since review sheets are usually focused on content practice but not skills practice, I wanted to try to balance things out. Below, I listed some of the “tricks” I noticed popping up in some of the IA questions. Keep these in mind as you take the test. These are the kind of things we point out during test corrections. It’s test taking strategy. Below that, you will find the link to some AP-style practice questions to help you get ready. I am not grading them, but I would encourage you to at least give them a shot.

• Opposites! Or near opposites. Think about it. Test-makers usually start out with the right answer, and then have to make up 3 wrong answers. What’s the easiest way to make sure a wrong answer is wrong? Make it the OPPOSITE of the right answer! So if you notice two opposite answers, there’s a good chance one of them is the right answer (no guarantees).
• Two answers both touching on the right idea or theme, but one of them goes too far or is too extreme to the point that it is not correct, so the more moderate answer would be correct.
• Straightforward vs indirect vocabulary is another trick. When you read the question, you might already guess what the answer will be. If you see the word or concept very clearly in an answer, you might pick it without fully reading. Sometimes they use the more obvious word for something in the wrong answer to bait you, hoping you don’t read the rest of the answer that includes something inaccurate. Then the right answer uses a less-obvious synonym or a less direct way of saying the same thing, but without inaccuracies, and that one is the right answer.

Chapter 10: Muslim Civilizations (622–1629) Sections 1-3

AP World Textbook: Chapter 14

1. Let’s go over the Caliphates in depth, because I know this was shaky for a lot of people. First, what is a caliph (aka khalifah), and what is a caliphate?
2. After the death of Muhammad, the first ______ caliphs were all his close companions/disciples. The first major dynasty was the _______________ Caliphate, and they did a lot of expansion, but they had some problems, notably that they gave preference to _______ Muslims over other people from other ethnic groups, like Persian and Byzantine converts to Islam. This (and other criticisms) led to them being overthrown by a new caliphate, the ______________ Caliphate. This caliphate was more accepting of different ethnicities and less focused on conquest, working more to support development within. This led to the height of the Islamic __________ Age! However, during this time, a third caliphate rose up in North Africa called the __________ Caliphate. Unlike the others, they practiced _______ Islam. They began to take more and more territory from the Abbasids, which led the Abbasids to turn to their newly-migrated neighbor, the ________ _________ for help. They did help, and regained the lost territory, but then they took control of the Abbasid Caliphate themselves. In the following centuries, though there was still TECHNICALLY an Abbasid Caliph on the throne, the lands had become divided among various local rulers and invaders. Still, the Islamic ______ Age continued, producing advances in many fields over the next few centuries.
3. The Islamic Caliphates expanded their empire over wide regions stretching across Afro-Eurasia. Why would this be beneficial for long-distance trade? HINT: It’s very similar to the Pax Romana!
4. Where did Hindu-Arabic numerals originate, and where did they ultimately end up? Which group/individual is responsible for this transfer?
5. Ok, this is a weird one, but just go with me. In EPCOT Center, in Disney World, there’s a ride called Spaceship Earth, that tries to summarize all of human history and advancement. You may not be surprised to learn that it focuses heavily on Europe. Here is a quote that makes reference to the Post-Classical era and the contributions of the Muslim World: “But then we hit a roadblock—Rome falls… Much of our learning is destroyed—lost forever… or so we think. It turns out there are copies of some of these books in the libraries of the Middle East, being watched over by Arab and Jewish scholars. Call it the first backup system. The books are saved, and with them our dreams of the future.” So here’s my question to you: Why does this description fall way short of describing the role that scholars in the Islamic Golden Age played in relation to Greek and Roman knowledge. Did they only just save some copies on a shelf somewhere and let them sit there, untouched, adding nothing, just waiting for Europeans to come back to get them one day? Explain what the Islamicate scholars did with these Greek and Roman texts BEYOND just copying and preserving them.
