1 ADVANCED PLACEMENT UNITED STATES HISTORY Mrs. J. Pratta- SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT 2018 THE ABSOLUTE FINAL MOMENT TO SUBMIT THE ASSIGNMENT: 7:59 am Sept 10, turnitin.com QUIZ DATES- Sept.10 th or 11 th (depending on a/b day) POINT VALUE- 50 PRODUCT POINTS (assignment), 25 PRODUCT POINTS (quiz) Students are to read Tony William s book America s Beginnings, The Dramatic Events that Shaped a Nation s Character (published in 2010 by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc) and complete the following tasks. The book can be purchased through Amazon.com or a variety of book store websites. The book can also be purchased electronically- students will not be expected to bring the book to class, only the assignment. I have used this book for the past few years, you may find former students who are willing to loan you the book or sell it to you at a discounted price. I. 50 for 50- CLASSIFICATION ASSIGNMENT (90% of the assignment) Students must read the 50 events that Tony Williams identifies as dramatically shaping our nation s character during early United States history. Students will classify each event using the MAGPIE acronym discussed later in this document. Students must summarize the significance of each event in a 50 word summary. Each summary must be exactly 50 words and will be evaluated on whether or not the summary does address the impact of the event on the development of our nation s character. Students should only categorize each event only once, some assignments may fit in a few different categories but students should choose the best fit due to their comprehension of the event. Students can set up the categories however they would like- some students prefer charts, others may want to keep each category on separate pages. Some students do the summaries then provide a 1 page chart with the events listed under the appropriate categories. Events should be listed in chronological order within the categories. Not every category is going to have the same number of events- one of the purposes of this assignment is to evaluate what type of events have had the greatest impact within our history so
2 do not become concerned if you are noticing that some categories have an overwhelming number of events. Every category should contain events. II. SAQ (10% of the assignment) In APUSH SAQs are Short Answer Questions. Each part of the question (A, B, C) should be answered using a few sentences, avoiding quotes and referencing historical evidence to support your answer. This is not an essay! Students are expected to answer SAQs in less than 13 minutes. This is an expectation that AP students struggle with at the beginning of the year and we will regularly address in class throughout the year. That being stated- I would like students to write this SAQ within that approximate time frame. SAQ The citizens of the United States are responsible for the greatest trust ever confided to a political society. If justice, good faith, honor, gratitude and all the other qualities which ennoble the character of a nation and fulfill the ends of government be the fruits of our establishments, the cause of liberty will acquire a dignity and lustre, which it has never yet enjoyed, and an example will be set, which cannot but have the most favourable influence on the rights of Mankind. If on the other side, our governments should be unfortunately blotted with the reverse of these cardinal virtues, the great cause which we have engaged to vindicate, will be dishonored and betrayed; the last and fairest experiment in favor of the rights of human nature will be turned against them; and their patrons and friends exposed to be insulted and silenced by the votaries of tyranny and usurpation. James Madison, Address to the States, 1783 Answer A, B and C A. Briefly explain Madison s viewpoint on character and government as established in his Address to the States. B. Briefly explain, using a topic from the book, an event/movement that would support Madison s viewpoint. C. Briefly explain, using a topic from the book, an event/movement that would jeopardize Madison s view of character and government.
3 General statements about the assignment Assignments must be submitted through turnitin.com. This also means that assignments must be typed. Students will receive the password to submit their assignments on the first day of class. ALL ASSIGNMENTS MUST BE THE WORK OF THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT SUBMITTING THE WORK! Any duplicate assignments will be issued a zero. Students are not to split to work or share their assignments with others. Keep in mind- I have used similar assignments in the past and they have all be submitted through turnitin.com. There is a record of all previous assignments and, instances of plagiarism will me flagged. SUBMIT YOUR OWN WORK OR YOU WILL RECEIVE A ZERO! Students can contact me via throughout the summer if they have questions or if they would like me to review their assignments. Keep in mind, I do not check my every day so please allow time for me to respond. NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED AND THE ONLY WAY THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL BE GRADED IS IF IT IS SUBMITTED THROUGH turnitin.com! The due date for the summer reading is at the top of this assignment. Please feel free to submit the assignment prior to the date but this is the last day I will accept it from any student. Once turnitin.com is locked no assignments will be accepted. If you have concerns about using turnitin.com you can see me during the school day any time during the week prior to the due date. Technological issues will not be accepted as a reason to submit work late. Students are encouraged to submit their work several days early to guarantee successful submission of work.
4 MAGPIE CLASSIFICATION Below are the historical themes that we will be covering throughout the year. Classify the 50 topics in this book under these categories. I have provided guiding questions to assist you in classifying the topics. You may do this in a chart separate from your summaries or you can place you summaries under the historical theme. YOU CAN NOT SIMPLY LABEL THE EVENT WITH THE HISTORICAL THEME, YOU MUST CATEGORIZE THE TOPICS FROM THE BOOK. APUSH COURSE/UNIT THEMES: MAGPIES Migration and Settlement What caused migration to colonial North America and, later the United States, and how has immigration affected U.S. society? What were the causes of internal migration and patterns of settlement in what would become the United States, and how has migration affected American life?

How have relationships among different regional, social, ethnic, and racial groups developed, and how have these groups' experiences related to national identity?

How have patterns of exchange, markets, and private enterprise developed, and in what ways have governments responded to economic issues?
