AP Points – All non-event point activities are due on Monday, October 10 (both classes)

EVENT: 1) Last of the Mohicans night. Tuesday, October 4 at 5:45 PM. We’ll start with a potluck and start watching the film about 6:15. Come enjoy the camaraderie, high spirits, and one of the best films ever made. One point for attendance and one point with a parent’s participation. These points will go on the first six weeks.

2) Monticello. Before it gets too cold, get a group of friends and visit Monticello. This is a four-point possibility: Two for going and touring the estate. One point for putting together a tourist pamphlet (blown up to poster size) advertising what Monticello has to offer – include at least five pictures of your group viewing the grounds. One point can be earned for writing a 750-1000 page – er, I mean word – essay describing how the docents at Monticello deal with one of the following controversial topics: Jefferson and slavery, Jefferson and ugly partisan politics, or Jefferson and Sally Hemmings. What do the docents say about each topic – is it downplayed or explored? How do they respond to questions about the topic?

3) Find examples of how versions of “Give me Liberty or give me death!” have entered pop culture/commercial advertisements. Discuss in a 750-1000 word essay how the historical facts have been modified for pop culture or commercial reasons. 4) Write an essay (750-1000) explaining how the ideas of the Great Awakening and Enlightenment helped lead to the Boston Tea Party.

5) We looked at how “The Crucible” was shaped by the politics of Arthur Miller’s world. Prepare a 750-1000 word essay explaining how Cooper’s tale of the French and Indian War was influenced by his time period. You do NOT have to read the book – there are many literary criticism sources online.

6) Art analysis. Find three cartoons protesting British tax policy that appeared in the colonies. Analyze how each cartoon’s portrayal of the American and British policy was designed to persuade readers.
