Advanced Placement – United States History The Advanced Placement (AP) - United States History survey course is designed to provide students with the analytical 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 will 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. The AP - U.S. History survey course will 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. [CR 6] Course Objectives Students will:

• master a broad body of historical knowledge • demonstrate an understanding of historical chronology • use historical data to support an argument or position • differentiate between historiographical schools of thought • interpret and apply data from original documents, including cartoons, graphs,

letters, etc. • effectively use analytical skills of evaluation, cause and effect, compare and

contrast • work effectively with others to produce products and solve problems • prepare for and successfully pass the AP – U.S. History Exam

Course Purpose The AP – U.S. History survey course is a demanding introduction to American history and culture that assumes a high level of interest and competence. Because this course is similar to a first-year college course, students must expect that the workload will be heavier than most regular high school history courses. The analytical thinking, writing, and reading skills those students develop in the AP – U.S. History survey course will equip them for college and lifelong learning. In order to succeed, students need both to be motivated to study and to be able to keep up with the demands of a college-level course. By taking the AP Exam, at the end of the course, students have the opportunity to demonstrate that they have, indeed, learned college-level material and are prepared to enter advanced college courses. Organization The AP – U.S. History survey course integrates political, social, economic, cultural, diplomatic, and intellectual history in order to convey the experiences of particular groups within the broader perspective of the American past. At the same time, it connects events and issues from the past to the concerns of the present. History shows Americans continuously adapting to new developments as they shape the world in which they live. Often, ordinary Americans from a diverse range of backgrounds are thrust into extraordinary circumstances and the result is an exciting study in the “American Experiment”. As students study this long-term process, they will also encounter the unexpected – unique events, unintended outcomes, and singular individuals. The AP – U.S. History survey course prepares students to become “students of history” by including the following points of emphasis:

• chronological organization • geographical literacy • point of view • political dynamics

3

• economic patterns • social and cultural trends • intellectual developments • influences on the arts

Hence, this course is designed to provide a college-level experience and preparation for the AP Exam in May 2011 (cost to be announced annually). An emphasis is placed on interpreting documents, mastering a significant number of factual information, and writing critical essays. This course will fulfill the United States history graduation requirement. [CR 5] 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 development of political institutions and the components of citizenship, social reform movements, the role of religion in the making in the United States and its impact in a multicultural society, the history of slavery and its legacies in the 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. Writing Component All students will respond to Data Based Questions (DBQ’s) and free response essay questions that demonstrate their ability to analyze and interpret primary sources (documents) and key themes within U.S. History. These essays will prepare students for the essay section(s) of the AP – U.S. History Exam. Essays will be given in class, while timed, and in take-home format. Course Expectations and Evaluations Requirements for good standing in this course: READ! – There is no substitute! Prepare for class. READ!! Avoid absences. READ!! Take reading/discussion notes.

Join a study group. READ!! – There is NO SUBSTITUTE!! Binder All students are expected to maintain a 1 ½” to 3” three-ring binder which serves as a valuable tool in preparing for quizzes, major exams, and the AP Exam. The binder is considered an important component of this course and serves as a measure of student responsibility. All students are expected to maintain a well organized binder at all times in anticipation of random binder checks. Binder contents must be organized by five dividers:

A) Reading Notes B) Discussion/Class Notes C) Classwork/Homework D) Reading Quizzes/Exams E) Miscellaneous (Articles, Maps, Charts, Graphs, Warm ups, etc.)

National Exam In May of 2011, the College Board will offer the AP – U.S. History examination. The three hour exam will determine a student’s eligibility for college credit. Preceding the exam, I will arrange after school study/review sessions and will make myself available as a resource. Preparation for the exam, however, is the student’s responsibility! I strongly encourage participation in the group study/review sessions. I will assist these groups as they prepare to take the AP – U.S. History examination. Evaluations/Grades In averaging the 9 Week/Quarter grades, the following weighting procedure will be utilized: 50 % - Daily Work: Classwork, Homework, and Reading Quizzes 25 % - Exam Grades: At least three major exams will be given each 9 Week/Quarter

period that will include objective, document-based, and/or free-response essay questions, binder check, and a U.S. history related research paper project.

25 % - Comprehensive Final 9 Week/Quarter Examination Fall Term The following readings must be completed by the beginning of the week during which they will be discussed. Reading quiz/examination dates may be rearranged, but all

changes will be announced in advance. Each unit also utilizes discussions of and writing about related historiography: how interpretations of events have changed over time, how the issues of one time period have had an impact on the experiences and decisions of subsequent generations, and how such reevaluations of the past continue to shape the way historians see the world today.
