Official APUSH Reading Schedule • Sem 1 2014/15 •
• Version 5 • Last Updated 1/28/2015 • Dates up to date thru 2nd Semester • IDs up to date thru Sem F •
A bunch of important notes on the New Reading Schedule: The Reading Schedule is a living document and
changes frequently. Because of that we encourage you to watch which version you are using and to check all dates. Print
only a few pages at a time. • The Reading Schedule is meant to help us plan for class seminars and so is divided into
seminars instead of book chapters. Discussion and assignments done in class may or may not correlate with the reading
assignment. You will often be far ahead in your reading, thus providing time to develop questions and to identify topics
you need help with. • This document is also meant to aid you in planning for formative assessments (practice
assignments) and for focusing your Active Reading Notes. Terms listed in each section are for guidance only. Tests may
require you to know far more or far less than Reading Schedule terms lists indicate. • Official APUSH units are listed to
the right. Percentage sindicate how much of the APUSH test covers that time in history. • QoDs and other assignments
are listed, but you may not be doing all of the assignments. Listen in class for this information. • Reading due dates and
seminar dates are subject to change often. Listen in class for updates. • This schedule corresponds with America’s
History, 8th Ed. by James Henretta, et. al. • Please send your comments on how this document can better serve you.
