1 AP United States History Syllabus Mrs. Tipton Course Description: AP United States History is a course designed to be the equivalent of a freshman college course and can earn students college credit by taking the AP Exam. This course is a comprehensive survey of United States history beginning with the colonial period and ending with the post World War II era to the present. This is not intended to be a course that details what happened, but rather it will ask why and how and study the consequences of actual events. Course Objectives: After completing this course, the student will be able 1) to master a broad body of historical knowledge 2) to enhance critical thinking and analytical skills 3) to interpret and apply data from original documents 4) to use historical data to support an argument or position 5) to prepare for and pass the AP Exam Major Themes Covered in the Course: 1) American Diversity 2) Culture 3) Demographic changes 4) Globalization 5) Reform 6) War and Diplomacy Required Texts: 1) The American Pageant 12 th Edition by Bailey, Thomas and Kennedy 2) The Jungle by Upton Sinclair 3) Night by Elie Wiesel 4) 4 novels will be chosen from the list provided * The student is responsible for the novels. Recommended Text: 1) A People s History of the United States by Howard Zinn Expectations: 1) AP United States History will be taught as a college level course. Therefore, diligence and quality work are expected. 2) Students are responsible for all material presented in class, whether present or not. It is up to the student to get or make up any work missed. 3) Students must come to class prepared for lecture and discussion. The students will be assigned daily readings and these must be completed before coming to class. Due to the limitations on time, we will not be able to always cover all of the details outlined in the readings, but the student is responsible for all of the material covered in the assigned readings. Ask, if there are any questions. 4) Students can expect a bell ringer on any of these readings at the beginning of class each day. 5) Respect and Christian Fellowship are expected of all students at all times in this class. 6) The computer lab is a privilege, not a requirement. Required Writing Assignments: 1) Students wishing to take A.P. United States History will have a summer assignment consisting of the following requirements: read Founding Brothers by Joseph J. Ellis and write a book review and choose one book to read from the list provided and write a personal reaction to the book. 2) Each month students will be asked to write various article reviews on issues pertaining to the subject matter of the time period studied. Each student will have to critique the author s argument and presentation of material, provide a background of qualifications of the author and express a well-informed opinion on the subject and whether or not they agree with the author on the matter. 3) A.P. students are required to write one research paper on a topic of their own choosing. 4) Students will be required to read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and Night by Elie Wiesel and complete separate writing assignments for each analyzing the events of the time period and contents of the novels. 5) Students will have a take-home DBQ assignment as well as in class DBQ questions.
2 Late Work: All assignments must be turned in on the date specified on the students calendars or on the date announced in class. Late work will not be accepted except in the case of an absence. In the case of an absence, it is solely the student s responsibility to get any work missed or make up any work. Cheating: Cheating is absolutely unacceptable. If you are caught cheating in any way, your parents will be notified and you will receive a zero. Grading Policy: Take-home tests are worth 30% of your grade, In-class essay tests are worth 40%, quizzes are worth 5% and homework is worth 25%. I will drop your two lowest quiz scores, one for each semester. Extra Credit: Extra Credit will not be available. Odds and Ends: - Be prepared to write - Be prepared to read - Develop good time management skills - Do not procrastinate *Important: It is the student s choice to take AP United States History. It is the student s responsibility to stay on task, keep up with the assignments and turn in homework on time. It is also the student s responsibility to maintain above a C average for this course. If a student s grade is at a C or below for semester, the student will be moved into a regular United States History class. *Note: The student will receive a calendar for each month, laying out specified readings from the text and outside sources, as well as test days and homework due dates.
