Mr. Jáuregui (805) 937-2051 x 2602 ajauregui@righetti.us

Welcome to AP U.S. History! A.P.U.S.H. is a course that is meant to emulate an entry-level course in history and is meant to help prepare you for college.

This class is very fast paced so that we can grasp everything in order to prepare you for the AP Exam in May 2017. Due to the limited time that we have, a summer assignment is required to help you get a handle on things and to help prepare you for this class. This preparation is to be done before you arrive in August. The goal of these assignments will be to introduce you to the pace of this class, the level of work that will be expected, and keep your minds fresh with historical thought. The expectation is that these assignments will be completed and turned in on the first day of class in August. The activities on those first days of school will be connected to the summer material.

No late assignments will be accepted.

The Summer Homework assignment is also available on the class website:https://sites.google.com/site/jaureguiapus/

Directions: Complete the following assignments in the order that they are listed. Each assignment will build off information from the previous section. You will be responsible for reading Chapters 1-3 and responding to the Multiple Choice and Short Answer Questions in this packet. Once you select an answer for the Multiple Choice portion, you must provide a detailed analysis that supports why you chose that specific answer. For the Short Answer portion, you must use the information you’ve gained from the Summer Reading (Chapters 1-3) and write a brief (4-5 sentence) response. This entire packet is to be turned in on the first day of school.

Dear Parents,

Righetti High School requires parental permission for your student to view movies in our curriculum, which are rated PG-13 or R. In social studies I believe showing your son or daughter excerpts or full showings from movies such as The Patriot, Schindler’s List, Michael Collins, Killing Fields, Saving Private Ryan, etc. enables your child to have another medium as a resource in their study of current events and history.

Movies, along with our hands on activities, reading, research projects, etc. give your son or daughter the fullest opportunity to discover the world of history. Movies go beyond just dry facts and help bring events “alive” to students.

You can be assured I have previewed every part of any movie I will show and that, as a parent myself, I will use the proper discretion with your child.

Student Name

____ Yes, I give my son/daughter permission to view PG-13 or R-Rated movies for educational purposes.

____ No, I do not give my son/daughter permission to view school-appropriate excerpts of the types of movies mentioned in this letter. I understand alternate learning experiences for my child will be provided while the movie is being watched.
