AP US HISTORY 2011-2012

Course Overview:AP US History is designed as a college level history course with corresponding academic expectations for high school 11th graders. Chronologically, AP US History covers the vast expanse of our nation’s past from colonial beginnings in the 1600s to the present. Several themes of American History will emphasized for students to be able to think conceptually about our nation’s past. Such themes will include American diversity, culture, identity, economic transformations, politics and citizenship, reform, religion, and war and diplomacy. While students do the bulk of their study into America’s past using standard texts and historical interpretations, original source materials too provide students first hand insight into understanding our nation’s history. The course is taught in a “traditional” manner by means of textbook readings, primary source analysis, lecture, and cooperative group-work emphasizing critical thinking. Student evaluation is facilitated through weekly quizzes, unit tests, free-response essays, and daily writing journals. Two weeks are devoted to review for the AP Exam in May 2011.

Course Objectives:Students will:

master a broad array of historical knowledge

demonstrate an understanding of historical chronology

use historical data to support an argument or position

differentiate between historiographical schools of thought

interpret and apply data from original documents, including cartoons, graphs,letters, etc.

effectively use analytical skills of evaluation, cause and effect, compare/contrast

work effectively with others to solve problems and construct products

prepare for and successfully pass the AP U.S. History Exam
