= For those students taking the AP History course in the fall of 2008 here is a copy of your summer assignment. =

=**General Comments**= I am glad to have your son/daughter enrolled in Advanced Placement United States History. This course attempts to develop higher-level critical thinking skills by emphasizing analysis and evaluation. As a parent you may need to take into account that this course will differ from previous traditional or honors courses. This course of AP United States History is designed and taught at the college level using a college-level textbook, The American Pageant. It is a difficult and demanding read for many high school students. Please keep this in mind when you establish expectations for your child’s performance. Our primary objective is the improvement of your student’s information processing skills, with the emphasis on improving their ability to analyze an evaluate the relative significance of historical data, and a corresponding ability to express those ideas through the written word. Please access the Open Letter to Parents to further review the expectations of this class. APUSH Syllabus The Structure of the AP Exam Pacing Guides for the course Themes of United States history

One reading strategy we will use is the Main Idea Log where you boil down the main idea. This is more than just the facts but an analysis of predicting what happened prior to the information, how the information will affect the next paragraph; an attempt to find the broader, connecting ideas.

 * Organizing Principles** - The Cold War led the United States to pursue an ambivalent policy of confrontation, negotiation, and preventive maintenance between 1945 and 1970.

Disillusionment with the increasingly violent protest of the 1960s led to the entrenchment of conservative ideology between 1968 and 1992.

Following the breakup of the Soviet Union, America's foreign policy groped for ways to promote world peace with minimal U.S. involvement.

Technological developments between 1950 and 2000 radically altered the economic, social, and moral fiber of the nation.

__I have posted Grand Review Packets as you begin to review all the cummulative facts__ ** The APUSH 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.
 * REVIEW DOCUMENTS**

__**NOTE REGARDING GRADES AND THESE LAST REMAINING WEEKS OF CLASS**__:. I just wanted to emphasize again, as I have with the students this week, this truly is one of the most difficult courses they will ever encounter and that is largely because of the sheer amount of facts they need to know. It is difficult and challenging. We are now within the last 10 weeks or so (5 of History 5 of English) before the AP exam, and we are doing a lot more comprehensive review work and it scares the students. I suggest students try to come to after school tutoring as much as possible. I will be offering Sat and evening reviews come late April and early May and I am trying to increase the time I stay after each week. But the plain fact is (as I told the students this week) unless they are some freaky, photographic memory person there is no way they can rely on just reading, taking notes and then taking tests. The human brain cannot hold that much data in the short term memory. They must, must, must process it and, in the old fashion lingo of the older times, that means they must just work on memorizing data. Please note the stress your student is under during this crunch time and offer all the support you can.

For those unable to successfully access the AP Test Review website - you may print in your results for 5 points extra credit to be applied on a test in the last 9 weeks grading session.
 * __EXTRA CREDIT__** 5 extra points given on Unit 8 test (end of March) if you bring in results page from taking the AP test review as posted below. Due before or day of Unit 8 test
