APUSH SUMMER ASSIGNMENT DIRECTIONS 2013 Congratulations on your decision to challenge yourself with the AP experience in United States History! Advanced Placement United States History, or APUSH, will provide you with the most challenging and rewarding academic experience you have encountered in your educational career. APUSH is designed to provide you the opportunity to experience college level work within the more structured and supported environment of the high school setting. Please feel free to email me throughout the summer if you have any questions about the assignment or the course at
[email protected]. Checking Out Your Books You will need to check out a copy of the textbook, American History a Survey 11th edition, from the bookstore by Wednesday, May 29th, 2013. You will also need to check out a copy of our test preparation book titled, “Multiple Choice and Free Response Questions with DBQ in Preparation for the AP United States History Examination 5th Edition, from the bookstore. I will refer to this book as the “Prep Book” in my directions. I also highly recommend that you purchase the AP U.S. History Crash Course book by Larry Krieger, published by REA. It is available at bookstores and online and costs $11.95. Overview You will be completing the homework for APUSH UNIT ONE during the summer. You will need to read the first three chapters of the textbook and the first two units of the Prep Book and complete several tasks using the information you gather. The Prep Book has a lot of good supplemental information and practice quizzes which will help you to understand the textbook and prepare for exams. I have included a key for the Prep Book quizzes in this packet. The key terms for the each era are bolded throughout each unit of the Prep Book. After completing the reading, annotations, study guides and reviewing the key terms for the unit, you should take the quiz at the end of the unit and check your answers. This will give you a good evaluation of your preparation and study habits. I hope that this assignment will allow you the opportunity to get a head start on the work we will be doing throughout the year. That way, we will have more time in class for activities designed to prepare you for the rigors of the AP exam. Reading the First Three Chapters Understand that the text we use is a college level text. You cannot read this book the same way that you read a novel. Many of the concepts are complex and you will be expected to retain both knowledge of the concepts and the supporting details which explain the concepts. Your exams will be cumulative, meaning that each test throughout
the year will cover all of the material from the beginning of the year. This means that you will have to review your notes on a regular basis. You will be completing the study guides with the information from your annotations so reviewing the study guides prior to reading and annotating will allow you to focus on what to write down in your notes. Also, please review the key terms from the Prep Book prior to reading. You are now ready to read the textbook. Read the chapter introduction and scan the timeline at the beginning of the chapter. Then review the blue and reddish brown headings for each section of the chapter. Finally, read the chapter conclusion at the end. By following this pre-reading procedure, you are preparing your mind to accept the information in an organized fashion. You are then expected to annotate as you read the text. Please do not write in your text. Instead, you may use post it notes and a 70-100 page spiral notebook or a loose leaf binder. You can take the notes on the post it notes and leave them in your text as you read or you choose to take the notes directly in the spiral notebook or binder. When you take your notes directly in the notebooks or when you are organizing your post it notes in the notebook you should use the headings in each section of the book to title each section and sub-section of notes in the spiral notebook. Start by writing a brief summary covering the chapter introduction below your chapter title. Then follow the outlining process by assigning each blue heading from the textbook a Roman numeral and each brown heading from the textbook a letter. Write these heading in your notebook and then place your post it notes under the appropriate heading or take your notes directly below the headings. Be sure to leave space to make additional notes as you place the post it notes in your notebook or write your notes directly in you notebook. This will also make it easier for you to read your notes later on when you review. Basically, divide each notebook paper in half. On the left-hand side will be the notes you take on the post it notes or directly into the notebook, on the right-hand side will be the room you leave to write your additional notes, etc. which are explained below. As you organize your notebook, make additional notes which predict outcomes, connect ideas, summarize main ideas, ask and answer questions you think of and clarify key terms. You may end up with some questions you cannot answer which you will bring to class to be answered in group discussion. You should leave space in your notebook to write the answers to these questions. Finally, you should write a brief summary of a few sentences following each brown section. Don’t get bogged down with the details, stick with the main ideas presented in the section. This process outlined above is how you will study and prepare for your exams for this class and in college. Simply reading the material is not enough to allow you to recall the amount of information you to need to remember for the test, nor does it prepare you for the high level of complexity you will encounter in the essay questions. I will be checking these annotations the first day of school.
This page gives you a visual example of what your notebooks should look like when completed:

Completing the Study Guides After you finish reviewing your notes, you are ready to complete the study guides. You should use your annotations in addition to the Prep Book to complete the study guides. If you struggle with a particular question, you may email me or ask another student from the class. You may work with other students to complete these questions but each student must write the answers on their own study guides. During the year, we will complete these questions in class in small groups. I will be checking study guides the second day of school. Memorizing the Presidents The last two pages of this assignment are dedicated to our nation’s Presidents. In order to assist you in keeping the chronology of our nation’s history straight, you will need to memorize the Presidents’ first and last names, political parties and years served in office. I have included the Vice Presidents, but you do not need to memorize them. You will be taking a test covering each of the elements mentioned on the fifth day of school. As I stated above, this summer assignment will give you a head start on your work for this next year. Please email me with any questions at
[email protected]. It is impossible to do this assignment well in a short amount of time. Please start early and plan ahead. Good luck and see you next school year! Sincerely, Mr. Roberts
