APUSH Summer 2014 Assignment

Welcome to Advanced Placement U.S. History! The 2014-2015 academic year will be a very

busy one as we prepare for the Advanced Placement exam in May 2015. APUSH is a rigorous college-level course that will require extensive background knowledge in U.S.

History and well-developed historical analysis skills. Due to the nature of the course,

much of the burden of learning the content will be placed on you, the student—we will not

be able to accomplish everything during class time alone and it is important that class time

is spent focusing on the development of AP Skills. As a result, being a student in APUSH will

require a great deal of outside work coupled with effective time-management skills, as many

of you will be very busy with other courses and activities as well.

To demonstrate your abilities as a self-directed learner, every APUSH student will be

required to complete the following summer assignment that will be due the first day of

class. The summer assignment is broken into four parts:

Part 1 Guided Reading & Review (31 points)

Part 2 Guided Reading & Review (35 points)

etc.) will receive a grade of failure on the assignment and the school’s academic

6. Explain the reasons behind the voyages of Columbus and early Spanish encounters with the peoples of

the Caribbean, Mexico, and South America.

European ideas about how best to settle and govern America.

Some Final Words of Advice:

1. Enjoy your summer. These few assignments should not consume all of your free time this summer. Go to

the movies, take a swim, or go shopping with your friends. You will wish for that free time during the

school year! 2. Explore history. If you take a vacation, see if you can stop at an historical marker along the way. Or, do a

little research about the place you are visiting. Take the time to start thinking historically. History is all

around you if you allow yourself to see it!

3. Read. Try to read several books over the course of the summer. You will do a ton of reading in this class

next year and if you are not in the habit of turning pages, it will be much more difficult to adjust. Read

fiction, if that is your choice, but try picking up a historical book as well. There are some real page-

turners about American history. Ask at the library and they will be delighted to steer you in the right

direction.

4. Write. Keep a journal for the summer, or try to write a short story. The more you write the easier it is to

write well. You will do a lot of writing in this class. The more comfortable you are with writing the more

successful you will be.

5. Become an informed citizen. Read the newspaper. Watch CSPAN. Listen to NPR. Try to keep updated on

the world’s events. Develop an opinion about Obama’s successes and failures as a president.

6. Learn your geography. Geography is going to play an important part of this course. Do you know all 50

states? Learn them. Can you find the major mountain ranges of the US on a map? What about rivers,

oceans and lakes? Memorize them! How about other continents: do you know the locations of countries in

Latin America? Europe? Asia? The more you know about geography the farther ahead you will be.

7. Watch history movies! Do you really need to watch Captain America 2 again? Of course not! If you have a

free evening – try to watch something historical. Visit http://www.historyplace.com/films/index.html for

suggestions, or type “good history movie” into Google and see what comes up!

8. Memorize the Presidents and their major accomplishments. This will help you prepare for the AP

exam in May, so you may as well get a jump start. Try to do them in blocks of 3: Washington, Adams,

Jefferson (pause) Madison, Monroe, Adams …

9. Explore your family history. Stuck for a conversation starter at dinner? Ask your elders what it was like

growing up. Do they remember any significant events in American history? How were they affected?

You’ll be surprised how interesting people’s lives really are.

Essay Planning Guide Directions: Complete the planning guide below for your assigned essay AFTER completing the

corresponding guided readings- a zero will be given if you fail to complete the correct essay. Please

handwrite in your own words referencing ideas learned from the text using complete sentences for each

part of the planning guide. Note: You may not copy from the textbook or use other sources to complete

this response. Make sure you read each direction carefully and your response is complete.

Some Reminders:

1. Maintain PAST TENSE and write in THIRD PERSON (no- I, me, we, us, you, etc.)

2. A proof is SPECIFIC EVIDENCE- think key terms, people, and events. Do not

provide a broad generalization and try to pass it off as a proof. For example, if

writing a paragraph on the impact of technology on World War I a broad

generalization would be mentioning that there was chemical warfare used; a piece of

specific evidence would be a discussion on poison gas referencing the use of mustard

and phosgene.

3. When providing analysis remember that it must tie back to that portion of your thesis

statement being discussed in your body paragraph- if you are unable to do that you

are not making the proper argument.

Essay assignments- if your LAST NAME begins with…

A-G: Analyze the similarities and differences in TWO of the following American Indian

cultures on the eve of their encounter with Europeans: Pueblo people of the

Southwest; Tribes of the Mississippi Valley; Aztec, Mayan, and Inca Empires.

H-N: Some historians have described Native Americans during the sixteenth to the

eighteenth centuries as occupying not the “frontier,” but the “middle ground.”

Support, modify, or refute this contention using specific evidence.

O-Z: Some historians have argued that the settlement of the English colonies was

undertaken in haphazard manner, with little regard to geography, climate, peoples,

or practical demands of the New World. Support, modify, or refute this contention

using specific evidence.
