ADVANCED PLACEMENT US HISTORY (APUSH) COURSE SYLLABUS Welcome to APUSH. You are an upper classman and have chosen to take this elective course. However, completing all assignments and preparing for class is not an election. As stated in our memorandum of understanding (MOU), you are expected to conduct yourself as an adult. This course prepares you for intermediate college courses by making demands upon you equivalent to those made by introductory college courses. The goal of this course is to provide you with the factual knowledge and analytical skills necessary to analyze and critique situations in United States history. When presented with free-response assessments, you are expected to draw conclusions demonstrating reason and evidence, clearly and concisely, in essay form. You have, by now, completed your summer assignment. You have tonight to review your notes and the text. Tomorrow we test on colonial history through the War of 1812. Friday we will discuss essay expectations and you will begin your summer assignment essay. The prompt is: Discuss those factors that enabled the Americans to defeat the British in the American War for Independence. Note that the prompt does not ask you to prepare a chronology of the war, but to describe what features contributed to the American victory. Your essay will be between two and three pages. This, and all future essays (except those that are part of chapter exams), will be typed, double spaced, 12 pt font, and have one inch margins. When you double space an essay, you do not quadruple space between paragraphs, you indent each new paragraph. You do not need a heading on your paper as you will use the essay rubric cover sheet. Prerequisites: Successful completion of American Studies II and III (grade B or better is recommended) Recommendation of Social Studies and English teachers Memorandum of Understanding signed by student and parent Completion of the APUSH Summer Assignment (including exam and essay) Rules of Engagement: Treat others as you wish to be treated. Be prepared for class including a pen or pencil, a three-ring binder with notebook paper, and homework completed prior to class. It is presumed that you will read the assigned materials prior to class discussion. Be on time. Lateness interferes with your learning and disrupts your classmates. No sleeping. If you are ill, go to the nurse. Pay attention and participate in class; respect others who are speaking. Turn in all work when it is due; a deadline is a deadline and assignments are due on the stated due date. Late work will be penalized 10 percentage points for each day overdue. If you are absent when an assignment is due, it is due the day you return. If you are out for a school field trip, activity, or meeting, the assignment is still due that day. Exams and Quizzes: If you are absent the day before an exam, you are still expected to take it as scheduled. They are scheduled and announced well ahead of time. If you are absent the day of the exam, you are expected to take it within three days of your return. Any exam or quiz not made up within five school days will result in a score of “0”. Be prepared to hone your analytic reading and writing skills. You must devote considerable out-of-class time to reading and studying to succeed. APUSH COURSE SYLLABUS / JUL 2013 1 If you are absent, it is your responsibility to make arrangements to get missed work. Any disagreement with a classmate, or with me, must be discussed in an adult manner at the end of class. If you must chew gum, keep your mouth closed and don’t chew like a cow. Grades will be updated in MMS weekly. Social Studies Cheating Policy and Classroom Rules: You will be provided with written copies. After class discussion, you are expected to sign and abide by both. Class Resources: Primary text: Norton, Wendy, et al. A People and a Nation, A History of the United States, 9th ed., Wadsworth Cengage Learning, Boston, MA. 2012. Supplemental Readings: Hofstadter, Richard. Great Issues in American History, Vols II and III, Revised Edition, Vintage Books, New York. 1982. Warren, George C. and Ricketson, Cynthia L. Study Guide A People and a Nation, Vols I and II, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, MA 1998. (Note: These are for a previous text edition but are still worthwhile.) Selected additional readings as assigned (see outline and calendar, below) Primary website: www.Historyteacher.net This is a fantastic website full of valuable resources and links to primary documents. It also has many practice tests and quizzes. We’ll spend many class periods perusing it and its links. We’ll begin our exploration of it later this week. Grading Criteria: Points are assessed for each activity, assignment, essay and exam. Your grade is determined by dividing the number of points you ear by the total possible to be earned. Do not seek extra credit; this course approximates a college-level course. Your final grade for the course is determined as follows: Quarter grades-----------------------------------------------20% each = 80% Midterm and Final Exam grades--------------------------10% each = 20% Exams: Exams are scheduled; see your APUSH calendars. Questions will be similar to those found on the AP exam and will consist of multiple choice and identification questions, document analysis (maps, charts, graphs etc.), and an essay. The midterm exam is comprehensive and is a former year’s actual AP exam. The class will decide whether our “final” will be an exam or a research project/presentation. APUSH COURSE SYLLABUS / JUL 2013 2 Class format: Class meetings will be a mixture of discussion, lecture, Internet activities/research and the occasional PowerPoint presentation. The course outline is detailed below and you can refer to your APUSH calendars for specific dates. As we begin each new unit, you are expected to read the APAN chapter(s) listed and respond to the Discussion Questions (DQs). We will use your DQ responses as the basis for class discussion and they will form the bulk of your notes. Primary Sources, Projects and Essays: Outside readings, activities and assignments will be given throughout the course. At least two classroom presentations and one oral history will be assigned. You will write several document based question (DBQ) essays as the DBQ is a major portion of the AP exam. For primary source readings (i.e. an essay from Hofstadter or a document found on www.Historyteacher.net) please follow the instructions on the “Text Cross Reference Sheet” for primary source documents. Course Objectives: 1. Master a broad body of historical information from which you will develop rational arguments. 2. Demonstrate an understanding of historical chronology and evaluate actions within their historical context. 3. Assess the evolving role of the United States in world affairs. 4. Evaluate how past experiences created, and relate to, today’s world. 5. Develop the skills necessary to interpret and apply data from primary documents including cartoons, graphs, letters, works of art, poetry, music lyrics, etc. 6. Effectively use analytical skills of evaluation, including cause and effect. 7. Enhance your communication skills by developing the ability to think critically, read and listen with discernment and write with authority and precision.
