AP Government and Politics
Summer Assignment
The Book:
Matthews, Christopher. Hardball Revised. Simon and Schuster, 1999. ISBN 0-68-484559-8
In addition to the summer reading and accompanying assignment, all students will be
expected to participate in class discussions about the book.
The Assignment:
*First, read and outline the book. Your outline must be hand written.
- This will be due the first week of class.
* Second, choose TWO chapter titles and for each find an appropriate situation from
current politics that you feel captures the spirit of those titles. Write a short analysis for
each describing the current situation and showing how it connects to the title. You will
have to go through a newspaper or surf the web to find a “reputable” site such as CNN,
NPR, CBS, NBC, etc. . . to complete this part of the assignment. You will also need to
include a copy or printout of your source when you turn in the write-ups.
*Third, you will have an open-note test on the reading that will occur the first week of
the course. Your outlines (once again, hand written) from Hardball will be collected
when you turn in your test.
