Vanderburg Phone: (817) X thomas.vanderburg@birdvilleschools.net Website: Tutorial/Office Hours: Mondays and Tuesdays from 7:00-7:25 and 2:45-3:15 in A244 Course Description: History 1013 (or dual credit U.S. History part 1) is a survey course designed to familiarize students with major developments in United States history through Reconstruction while creating informed consumers of information who can apply critical thinking skills. This course will, among other things, cover Native Cultures, Early Colonization, Empire Building, Colonial Development, The French and Indian War, The Revolutionary War, From Republic to Democracy, Jacksonian Democracy, Manifest Destiny, Prelude to War, Secession, the Civil War and Reconstruction. After Thanksgiving, we should be starting the Gilded Age followed by the Progressive Era. Technically, these two periods occur after Reconstruction but are important for your STAAR exam. Course Objectives: Analyze the effects of historical, social, political, economic, cultural, and global forces on the United States. Comprehend the origins and evolution of U.S. political systems, with a focus on the growth of political institutions, the Constitution of the U.S., federalism, civil liberties, and civil and human rights. Identify and understand differences and commonalities within diverse cultures. Analyze the development of the American national identity. Evaluate the evolution of rights and freedoms throughout various periods in U.S. History. Interpret and analyze primary and secondary source materials. Prepare students for success on the state-mandated STAAR end-of-course assessment. Required Texts: Tindall, G. B., & Shi, D. E. (2013). America: A Narrative History, 9e. New York: W.W. Norton. Supplementary Sources: Axtell, J. (1987). Colonial America Without the Indians: Counterfactual reflections. The Journal of American History, 73(4), Bohnstedt, J. (1971). Why Study History?

2 Selected visual and audible media as assigned Reading Assignments: This will be a reading-intensive course. Expect several hours of reading per week (usually due on Fridays unless otherwise indicated by the instructor). Please note: It will be extremely difficult to succeed in this course without completing the reading assignments by the due dates. Grades: Assignment Points Point Range Letter Grade Test A Test B Test C Final Exam D Chapter Outlines 100 <539 F Primary Document Analysis 100 Class Discussion 100 Daily Participation 100 Tests: There will be four tests along with a final exam. I will count your highest three test grades. The final exam is required and will not be dropped. Class Discussions: Discussions will be judged based on your preparedness, your ability to reference the reading materials, your ability to address the question(s) posed, and your ability to be respectful of your classmates as they speak. Daily Participation: This portion of the grade includes assignments that would normally be considered daily work in a classroom environment, such as quick reflection writing, timelines, simulation activities, video quizzes, etc. Retests & Extra Credit: This is a college course, and extra credit will be very limited. There will be no retests. Attendance Policy: In order to succeed in this course, you must be present, be prepared, and be engaged. As such, attendance will be taken and reported in accordance with BISD and TWU mandates. Excessive absences will not only reduce your ability to learn, but it could result in a No-Credit situation in which your credit for the course is withheld until make-up hours are completed. TWU Semester Ends: December 15. All assignments are due by this time.

3 Semester Break: TWU s fall semester ends approximately 2 weeks prior to the end of BISD s fall semester. You will be expected to attend class for BISD even though TWU is not in session again until January. EOC Understanding: Even though you are taking a college course through TWU, you are still required by the State of Texas to pass your U.S. History STAAR exam in May in order to graduate. This course is designed to help you achieve success both in developing crucial higher-level thinking skills necessary for college and to succeed on your EOC exam.
