Summer Work for Students In

APUSH SUMMER HOMEWORK INFORMATION

Directions: Below are the assignments you are expected to complete and turn in to the APUSH Summer Homework Box in the CVHS Main Office and to turnitin.com by 12:00 noon on Friday, July 30th. You will not be given a receipt by the main office. Do not request one. Your receipt is your online submission to turnitin.com.

Assignment #1: Read chapters 1-4 in The American People and complete the reading questions.

Assignment #2: Complete Maps 1-3 and the accompanying questions.

Assignment #3: Read chapters 1 and 2 in Readings In American History and respond to the questions.

Students generally find that completing the work in the order presented above is easiest. The readings from The American People prepare you to understand the maps and the primary documents from Readings In American History.

If you are having problems with the assignment or turnitin.com please E-Mail Mr. Batchelor at [email protected], Mr. Goldstein at [email protected], Mr. Kim at [email protected], or Mr. Mladinich at [email protected]

Other Information: The work you complete over the summer will be graded and will be included as part of your First Quarter and Semester grade. The assignments are to be completed by each student individually. This is NOT group work with the work to be divided between students. Students who share answers or copy answers will receive no credit for work turned in and WILL face further disciplinary action. Aside from the disciplinary ramifications for cheating, you will be setting yourself up for failure later in the year. Contrary to what some students may believe, APUSH is not about getting an “A” and earning an extra grade point. If you approach the course with that mentality you will not have success. APUSH is about preparing yourself to pass a comprehensive college level U.S. History exam in order to earn college credit. Any time you fail to complete an assignment or copy off of a classmate you are doing yourself a disservice.

Students will not be permitted to drop APUSH this year; if you do not complete the Summer Homework you will begin the year substantially behind in both curriculum and in your grade.

1. Textbook Reading and Reading Guide: Please use complete sentences and include the questions in your answers. You are not expected to provide quotes for your responses. Do not simply quote large sections of the textbook. Show us that you understand the reading by explaining things in your own words and way. There will be a multiple choice test shortly after you return from summer on chapters 1-4. The textbook reading is dense, to say the least, and the multiple choice tests in AP United States History are comprehensive.

2. Map Topics: The textbook should provide you with the information necessary to complete the maps and to respond to the questions; some inferences will need to be made on some of the questions. Many students have found the maps provided are too small in their present size to complete legibly and accurately. In the past, some students have enlarged the maps. Some of you may find this necessary, others will not. You must be neat and use colored pencils or pens to make your maps easier to read. It is not possible (nor required) to upload the maps to turnitin.com, but you must upload your responses to the questions with your other work.

3. RAH Readings: These primary sources are more easily understood after having read the textbook. Complete the “Discussion and Analysis: Chapter Questions” on pages 17 and 33. There are other questions in the readings, but you only need to answer the Discussion and Analysis questions at the end of each chapter. You must cite the authors of the documents in your responses and it may be necessary to provide brief supporting quotations. Do not over-quote. Your responses must be in your own words; those which are mostly long quotes will not receive credit. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE READING QUESTIONS
