Course Description
This class is designed for students who want to pursue a more detailed and in-depth study
of American history. Outside reading, presentations, and extensive writing will be
required, among other assignments. The nature of the course will provide an opportunity
to study social, political and economic aspects of American history. In addition, a
number of primary and secondary sources will be used to gain a multiple perspective
background during each week and each unit.
Course Texts & Readers
Robert A. Devine, T. H. Breen, George M. Fredrickson, and R. Hal Williams. America:
Past and Present 5th Edition. (New York, NY: Addison Wesley Longman, Inc., 1999).
Charles M. Dollar and Gary W. Reichard. American Issues: A Documentary Reader.
(Peoria, IL: Glencoe McGraw-Hill, 2002).
Stephen B. Oates and Charles J. Errico. Portrait of America Volumes 1 & 2. (Boston,
MA: Houghton Mifflin, 2003).
Excerpts from other sources will be used periodically throughout the year.
Exams
Exams in this course will cover units, broken up by time periods. There will be 9 unit
exams, the first semester exam, and the 2011 AP Exam. If a student chooses to not take
the national 2011 APUSH Exam, a national AP Exam from a previous year will be given
as a 2nd semester exam. Exams will be a combination of multiple choice, true/false,
matching, completion, and essays. Please note, there is no Unit 4 Exam. However, this
material will be covered on the first semester exam.
FRQs/DBQs
Throughout the course of the year, we will have extensive practice in writing FRQ and
DBQ questions. On average, expect to see one in-class FRQ or DBQ for each unit.
Sometimes there will be two or more, but we will always have at least one. These essays
will be scored the same way your FRQs & DBQs will be scored on the national AP
Exam. In addition, we will spend extensive time discussing each question you write after
you have completed the writing. Doing so will hopefully give you a great idea of what it
takes to write a successful AP Exam essay by the end of the school year.
Homework/Class work Assignments
In addition to exams and essays, there will be a number of opportunities weekly for you
to demonstrate knowledge of the topics covered. This will be done through our class
discussions and homework/class work assignments. Your participation in class
discussions is encouraged, and from time to time you will receive participation grades
based on your contributions to class discussions.

4-25-11 through 5-2-11
Begin review for the APUSH exam. Reviews will be broken up into six different time
periods over the span of the next nine days together. Time periods are as follows:
1. 1400-1763 = Look over information concerning the early settlements:
Puritans, British mercantilism, and forms of political institutions created by
the colonists that seemingly made them independent prior to the revolutionary
war. Review the key characters & ideas of explorations & colonialism.
2. 1750-1800 = Go over the causes of the Revolutionary War, the Articles of
Confederation period, reasons why the new Constitution was needed (pros &
cons of the Articles vs. the Constitution). Look at the major topics of debate of
this time period. Look into the trends from Washington to Jefferson. Review
the key characters.
3. 1790-1850 = Beginning with the Jeffersonian Era, review through the social
changes of the 1830s and 1840s (Seneca Falls, Transcendentalism, etc.).
Review American economic development, expansion, and the causes of the
Civil War. Review the key characters and events.
4. 1850-1877 = Using your understanding of sectionalism as a base, review the
events culminating in both the failures of compromise and the outbreak of
Civil War, through reconstruction & western expansion. Review the
consequences (national, economic, political, & social) of the great conflict.
5. 1870-1900 = Look at the various election results and their impact. Review the
development of political parties, why people supported the Democrats vs.
Republicans, investigate 3rd party development such as the Populists,
Progressives, and Socialists. Also review economic trends and labor’s
response to what was happening. Complete through the period of imperialism
and the beginning of World War I. Review the key characters & concepts.
6. 1900-Present = You should be able to categorize issues and events into major
themes that have been addressed throughout the year. Focus on sub-themes
such as liberty vs. order, isolation vs. intervention, liberal vs. conservative,
Democrat vs. Republican, labor vs. business, the role of third parties, race, and
gender. Review the key characters.
Thursday night, May 5 – Try to get a good night’s rest! If you must, a quick glance at
previous work that you did well on would be good to go over briefly. Perhaps practicing
a sample intro and conclusion would be beneficial if you have to do something! Just
believe in all that we have done together and know you are well-prepared to succeed on
the exam!
