Name APUSH (2016-17) APUSH: Summer Reading Assignment Mr. Hess ± [email protected] Reading is fundamental for passing this course. Read everything including charts, maps, picture captions, etc. Following directions is just as important. As there are many aspects to this summer assignment, please read these directions carefully and contact me with questions. You can never ask too many questions! Please feel free to contact me via email over the summer. I will always try to respond within 24 hours. Part 1 ± Chapter Outlines & Identifications Read chapters 1-3 of the American Pageant, 16th edition. Outline the chapters while you read. Highlight each of the attached identifications in your outline. Focusing on IDs is vital for doing well in this course. Learning what to include in an outline and what to leave out is also a vital skill. The list of the IDs can be found at the end of this packet. When outlining, you should consider the following: 1. Read for true understanding. Do NOT just copy lines from the textbook. Do NOT copy the entire chapter in outline form. Put the textbook into your own words to show true understanding of and engagement with the text. An example of writing in your own voice might be making fun of someone you find to be ridiculous or giving a heroic nickname to someone you find to be heroic. Make sure your voice is clear in your outline 2. Read and outline for true significance. Consider and explain the significance of each ID. Consider: why did the authors include this information? As you outline, consider whether each ID is important or extremely important. Place special emphasis on those IDs you see as being more significant to the narrative of U.S. History. If you are unable to find an ID in your textbook or feel you need more information, please use the ABC-CLIO Database. Go to: http://databases.abc-clio.com/Multi/. The username is ³JUHDWYDOOH\´DQGWKHSDVVZRUGLV³OLEUDU\´. Access to this website is provided by the Great Valley Library. If you have any questions on how to access this site, please e-mail me. During the school year, you will be required to outline a chapter (or two) every weekend. We will spend the first week of school going over note-taking strategies to help you through this process. During the school year, your outline may be hand-written. Your summer outline, though, must be typed and uploaded to www.turnitin.com to be checked for plagiarism/cheating by the assigned due date. Finally, be prepared for an exam on the first Friday of the school year. It will cover: Chapter 1 ± The New Beginning Chapter 2 ± The Planting of English America Chapter 3 ± Settling the Northern Colonies
Part 2 ± Book Review While reading and outlining the text is one major aspect of this course. Another course is being able to read and understand content and then use that content to make a clear argument in writing. To that end, you are to choose a book from the attached list and complete a book review that responds to the following prompt: ,QZULWLQJWKLVERRNZKDWZDVWKHDXWKRU¶V argument/goal?
