Welcome to AP U.S. History. In this class you are going to be accepting the responsibility and the
workload of a college freshman. The whole emphasis of this class is to prepare you for the AP
test, which will gain you college credit. In order to get a jump on our journey through American
history you will need to do some summer work. The 2nd assignment must be turned in the first
day of class.
Please Read the following pages of this document to see your three (3) assignments.
Thanks and have a great summer!!
Please contact either on of us if you have any questions
Textbooks:
Before the end of school, you should stop by Mr. Margrave's room (115) and pick up 2 books.
Write down anything wrong with each book and turn it into Mr. Margrave. This will prevent you
from paying for any damage that you did not do to the books. If you fail to turn in a damage list,
then it is assumed that your books are in perfect condition. Replacement/damage costs will be
approximately $100.00. Students may be required to share resources as there are not enough
books for all.
Assignments:
1. Read chapters 1-5 in The American Pageant by Kennedy, Cohen, and Bailey. You are
also to read chapter 1-4 in United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement
Examination (AMSCO). You should be prepared for a test over this reading the first week
of school. There will be NO class preparation over the reading material. These
standardized tests are difficult and will need critical studying of the material to do well.
2. On note cards define the following terms. This must be your own handwriting (No
computer). Be sure to have the term and explanation on the same side of the card. Your
definition should give the important information - Number each card according to the

school!
