1 AP U.S. Government and Politics/Economics AP U.S. Government Summer Assignment Mr. Vasquez THE U.S. CONSTITUTION STUDY GUIDE Available at: (You can use other RELIABLE resources, but DO NOT use WIKIPEDIA) Welcome to AP U.S. Government and Politics. This will be the first year this AP course will go through the redesign curriculum set by College Board. DIRECTIONS: Read the U.S. Constitution and complete the following questions in complete sentences. You are required to get a 2- inch BINDER for this course. Make sure to write all your responses and include it in your binder. Please organize your binder according to the following: (1) DO NOWS, (2) VOCABULARY, (3) NOTES, (4) CLASSWORK/HOMEWORK, and (5) SUPPLEMENTAL READINGS. Your summer assignment should be under NOTES. The summer assignment SHOULD BE TYPED and PRINTED. This is DUE on Friday, August 10, I will check and grade your binder. Make sure it is organized according to the five sections mentioned above. You will also take an EXAM on the following sections of this summer assignment: 1. SEVEN ARTICLES OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION Under Part II 2. CERTAIN CLAUSES AND CONCEPTS/VOCABULARY THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT FOLLOWS Under Part III AND IV 3. ALL TWENTY- SEVEN (27) AMENDMENTS of the U.S. Constitution Under Part V 4. FIFTEEN (15) U.S. SUPREME COURT CASES Under Part VI The exam will take place during the first days of school (August 10, 2018). Make sure to read, understand, and analyze ALL sections of the U.S. Constitution, legal concepts, vocabulary, and court cases. This will serve as a brief introduction for the AP course. The AP U.S. Government and Politics exam will be administered on Monday, May 6 th, I believe every student has a chance to pass the AP U.S. Government exam, but it will take commitment, self- discipline, and hard work throughout your senior year. The AP U.S. Government and Politics class heavily focuses on American historical foundations, vocabulary, analysis of current events, application and analysis of major concepts and political themes, and debate on significant and political issues that affect many Americans. Also, there will be POP QUIZZES when I see it is necessary that students demonstrate mastery of the content. Make sure to follow academic honesty protocol. If there is evidence of academic dishonesty, you will receive an automatic 0 (ZERO) on your summer assignment, will be part of the Ethics Committee, get a parent call about this DISHONEST matter, AND will also receive a 0 (ZERO) on your first exam that is related to your summer assignment. So don t even try. If you have any questions, please ask me before summer break and you can contact me at evasquez@laalliance.org or stop by my classroom. Please ask questions. I m here to help you succeed and prepare for this AP course. See you on August 8, Good luck and enjoy your summer break! 1
