Due MONDAY: Read the essay
“History and Knowing Who We Are”
by historian David McCullough.
http://www.americanheritage.com/c
ontent/history-and-knowing-who-weare
After reading McCullough’s essay, you
must choose three major points/ideas
from the essay, and then
support each point/idea by selecting
and analyzing, in your own words, a
specific historical example from
American history that you believe
illustrates the point/idea.
To help you in doing this, you are
encouraged to think thematically, a
skill that will be practiced throughout
the course. Please refer to the seven
course themes in the AP U.S. History
Curriculum Framework p. 2027
