The student is expected to do daily reading outside of class. This course is offered with a dual-credit option. Please note that the durations are estimates only; they are suggestions originally based on expected AP exam distributions. Also, the durations / expected class times are designed for an alternating split-block schedule from August to May. 5 Week(s) 6 Week(s) 4 Week(s) 1 Week(s) - the United States was & is shaped by the people which make up our nation, the ideas that those people bring (including, but not limited to, social, political, economic, intellectual, religious, and technological ideas), and conflicts between those ideas. - those ideas have been both causes and effects of significant changes in the growth of our nation as well as the relationship our nation has with specific groups within and outside our borders. - the United States is a land/people of law and of liberty (of security and of freedom) searching for ways to explain, define, and ultimately expand what those terms mean. - Words have meaning and ideas have consequences.
