APUSH

AP Test- May 12th

Purpose The AP U.S. History course is designed to provide students with the analytic skills and factual knowledge necessary to deal critically with the problems and materials in U.S. history. The program prepares students for intermediate and advanced college courses by making demands upon them equivalent to those made by full-year introductory college courses. Students should learn to assess historical materials their relevance to a given interpretive problem, reliability, and importance and to weigh the evidence and interpretations presented in historical scholarship. An AP U.S. History course should thus develop the skills necessary to arrive at conclusions on the basis of an informed judgment and to present reasons and evidence clearly and persuasively in essay format. Course Materials American Pagent 14th edition- AP version, Fast 5 After the Fact, the Art of Historical Detection A Peoples History of the US, Howard ZinnA 3 ring binder 2 pocket folder Highlighter Index cards

Topics Covered From Pre-Columbian times to Reconstruction will be covered in the months of September and October. The remainder will be covered from November to April. May will be reserved for a cumulative review of US History This course is designed to provide a college-level experience and preparation for the AP Exam in May (cost to be announced annually). An emphasis is placed on interpreting documents, mastering a significant body of factual information, and writing critical essays. Topics include life and thought in colonial America, revolutionary ideology, constitutional development, Jeffersonian and Jacksonian democracy, nineteenth-century reform movements, and Manifest Destiny. Other topics include the Civil War and Reconstruction, immigration, industrialism, Populism, Progressivism, World War I, the Jazz Age, the Great Depression, the New Deal, World War II, the Cold War, the post-Cold War era, and the United States at the beginning of the twenty-first century. This course will fulfill the United States history graduation requirement. In addition to the topics listed above, the course will emphasize a series of key themes throughout the year. These themes have been determined by the College Board as essential to a comprehensive study of United States history. The themes will include discussions of American diversity, the development of a unique American identity, the evolution of American culture, demographic changes over the course of America s history, economic trends and transformations, environmental issues, the [CR5] development of political institutions and the components of citizenship, social reform movements, the role of religion in the making of the United States and its impact in a multicultural society, the history of slavery and its legacies in this hemisphere, war and diplomacy, and finally, the place of the United States in an increasingly global arena. The course will trace these themes throughout the year, emphasizing the ways in which they are interconnected and examining the ways in which each helps to shape the changes over time that are so important to understanding United States history. In addition to exposing students to the historical content listed above, an AP course will also train students to analyze and interpret primary sources, including documentary material, maps, statistical tables, and pictorial and graphic evidence of historical events. Students need to have an awareness of multiple interpretations of historical issues in secondary sources. Students should have a sense of multiple causation and change over time, and should be able to compare developments or trends from one period to another. The Exam The exam is 3 hours and 5 minutes in length and consists of two sections: a 55-minute multiple-choice section and a 130-minute free-response section. The free-response section begins with a mandatory 15-minute reading period. Students are advised to spend most of the 15 minutes analyzing the documents and planning their answer to the document-based essay question (DBQ) in Part A. Suggested writing time for the DBQ is 45 minutes. Parts B and C each include two standard essay questions that, with the DBQ, cover the period from the first European explorations of the Americas to the present. Students are required to answer one essay question in each part in a total of 70 minutes. For each of the essay

questions students choose to answer in Parts B and C, it is suggested they spend 5 minutes planning and 30 minutes writing. Both the multiple-choice and the free-response sections cover the period from the first European explorations of the Americas to the present, although a majority of questions are on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. What will we be doing in APUSH? Tests- all UNIT tests will be 80 mc questions and alternating dbq or free response questions Essays- you will have approximately 1 essay per week taken from previous APUSH exams Readings- you will be reading about 1 chapter (35 pages) per A-B schedule(less once we get to the Gilded Age) Alternate reading- After the Fact, the Art of Historical Detection - will be supplied A people s history of the United States By Howard Zinn- can be found on the following website.

http://www.historyisaweapon.com/zinnapeopleshistory.html
Homework will mostly be to read a chapter and complete approximately 20 questions which will be answered in full sentences of no less than 3 sentences per question. Followed by evaluating how 1 of the 12 themes discussed relates to the chapter- the themes (a paragraph) will be placed on index cards and traded with classmates. There are no weighted grades. All assignments including homework will be worth 100 points. This is a college courseyou are expected to do readings even if we are not going to be covering it. I will not be going over everything on the tests I give, so it is your responsibility to keep up with the readings. Late assignments will not be taken except for emergencies and will automatically receive half credit (some exclusion apply)

WRITING ASSIGNMENTS (2 DUE EACH QUARTER) A reading assignment that you will reflect on. For each reading assignment you should write a one page summary and a one to two-page response. These short writing have specific goals. The one-page summary forces you to articulate the main attributes of the reading succinctly. You should be able to identify the author, the main argument, the types of source material used, periodization, historiographical context and identify bias. The critical response, however, should be a complete piece of writing. These short essays should not be summaries or a synopsis of the readings (you have already done that), but rather should reflect our own intellectual intervention on the topic. Remember, a critical evaluation does not necessarily mean a negative one. It should be speculation and questions that were raised in your mind not just a critique. (12-point font, 1 inch margins on all sides, times new roman or arial). Use Chicago style citations, for guidance see Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses and Dissertations or you can refer to one of the books listed above or even a on-line version you can find at Maxwell Library (online).
