1 ADVANCED PLACEMENT U.S. GOVERNMENT & POLITICS/economics Teacher: Mr. Dan Reiford Room: C-130 Contact info: school phone ext cell Course Overview: The goal of the AP U.S. Government and Politics course is to prepare students for success on the AP exam in U.S. Government and Politics. The course spans two semesters and is taught as a college level course, therefore is extremely demanding for students. Students are asked to develop an understanding that goes beyond the basics of how the U.S. political system operates. Students are expected to think analytically about the three branches of the U.S. government as well as the impact the participants in the political system play on public policy and the government as a whole. **It is my discretion to remove a student from AP if the student exhibits repeated sub-par effort in the course. It is a privilege to be here so I expect a certain work ethic. **Students are required to take the AP exam in May. If a student chooses not to take the exam, the Advanced Placement distinction will be removed from the student s transcript. Course Objectives: Students will Further their knowledge of U.S. History and Government and expand their understanding of politics. Interpret and apply historical data from a variety of documents, including graphs, cartoons, etc. Use historical data to support their argument or position on a given issue. Effectively use higher level thinking skills to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate data relating to U.S. Government and Politics.

New York: Longman Publishing Group, Serow, Ann G. and Everett C. Ladd. The Lanahan Readings in the American Polity, Fifth Edition. Baltimore, MD: Lanahan Publishers, Inc, Matthews, Chris. Hardball. NY: Free Press, Supplemental texts: Diulio, John J. Jr, and Meena Bose. Classic Ideas and Current Issues in American Government. Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin, Brudney, Kent M. and Mark E. Weber. Critical Thinking & American Government, Third Edition. Belmont, CA. Wadsworth, Supplemental articles from The New York Times, The Huffington Post, The Economist, and Foreign Policy Magazine. Reading Requirement: Due to the level of the coursework, students will be required to complete a substantial amount of reading outside of class, in preparation for class discussion, and come to class on a consistent basis. Student engagement is dependent on completing required reading and assignments prior to each class. It is the student s responsibility to practice class concepts and vocabulary outside of class in order to successfully complete the AP U.S. Government and Politics course and score well on the AP exam. Writing Component: Students will also be required to answer a number of free-response questions by creating essays that demonstrate their interpretive and analytical abilities in explaining the structure and major players of American government and politics. The essay assignments are to prepare you for the essay section of the AP U.S. Government and Politics Exam. Essay assignments will vary between an in class and take-home format, and will be assigned approximately twice a month. Some example assignments include:
3 1. Structured (Timed) Writing: In The Federalist paper number 10, James Madison expressed concern over the possibility that both majority and minority factions would have too much power over government, and he presented ways of minimizing that danger. The United States Constitution established a democratic government but also contained several provisions that limited majority rule. Throughout the next two centuries, the role of majority rule in the United States government and politics continued to change. (a) Identify the part of the national government that was originally most closely tied to citizens and explain how it was tied to citizens. (b) Explain two ways the United States Constitution limited majority rule. (c) Choose two of the following twentieth-century developments and explain how each moved the United States from a less democratic system to a more democratic system. Primary elections The Seventeenth Amendment Expansion of suffrage 2. Transactive Writing: Write a letter to your senator or representative urging support or opposition to amending the tax code in the United States. A transactive piece is successful if it is clear, well organized, and is written in language appropriate for the intended audience. 3. Book Review: Each student is required to read one book on modern politics. Students with a conservative outlook must read a book written by a liberal author. Students with liberal leaning ideologies must choose an author who is more conservative. Your book review needs to be approximately two pages in length and should include the following: a. short summary of the book, include specific examples taken from the book b. your analysis of the author s purpose in writing the book, provide evidence you used to determine the author s intention c. evaluate the validity of the arguments presented in the book- are they convincing to you and does the author make a sound case for their argument? d. To whom would you recommend this book and why?
4 Current Event Connections You will learn to critically analyze the mainstream media in this course which is essential for success on the AP exam. You can accomplish this by watching a TV news program, skim major newspaper headlines, listen to NPR or another radio news program, or access reliable online sources. Throughout every unit of study, you will be responsible for keeping track of connections you make between information presented in class and events occurring in the world. Every time you hear of a current event that reminds you of an issue, event, or idea that we have studied in class, write it down, copy it, or cut it out (your list can include pictures, cartoons, podcasts, video clips, articles, blogs, etc.). You must thoroughly explain your connections. On each due date, you need to turn in 5 detailed and well-explained current event stories as well as how each article connection with class topics. Details of this component will be given out in class. Grading Policy: Grades are determined using a cumulative system where each test, quiz, homework assignment, project, etc., is worth a set number of points. At the end of a grading period, a grade is determined by dividing the total possible points by points earned. For example: Assignment Points possible Points earned In-class discussion Homework 10 9 Chapter quiz Current events Essay Group presentation Unit test Current events Totals Tests, Quizzes, and Projects: Tests will be given upon completion of specific units i.e. (Introducing Government in America & The Constitution, Federalism, etc.). Tests will include: free-response questions from past exams, multiple-choice questions, and data based questions. Quizzes will be given throughout the year and will focus on vocabulary and important topics presented in class. Some quizzes will be announced, some will cruelly be unannounced. Projects will be assigned throughout the course and will reflect major topics from class.
