US History, Gale Group Database HISTORIOGRAPHY: ***The American Political Tradition, by Richard Hofstadter Lies My Teacher Told Me, James V. Loewen, 1996 Touchstone Publishing. ADDITIONAL SOURCES: ***United States History Preparing For The Advanced Placement Examination, by Newman and Schmalbach, 2004, AMSCO Publishing, New York. A History of the American People, by Paul Johnson, 1999, Harper Perennial, New York. American Heritage Magazine (school library has every issue published) Released US History Exams from the College Board Course Assessments: Student s grades based on the following: Daily homework pages of reading with questions. Class participation Essays (Students write an average of 20 essays per year) o Extensive use of Released AP US Examination Free Response Questions from the College Board s website which includes Document Based Questions and Thematic Essays o Thematic Essays Reading Quizzes (weekly) Timed In-Class Essays (monthly) Comprehensive Multiple Choice Tests formatted to the AP US exam (one per quarter) Course Overview and Outline Essay-Writing Skills A large amount of class time is devoted to essay writing. Students begin the year writing 5 paragraph essays with an emphasis on thesis development. Once that has been mastered, students write thematic essays to a DBQ without the documents. Students then write a second essay (same question) referencing the included documents using the complete DBQ. (This reinforces the requirement that all DBQ essays provide substantial outside information.) As the year continues, students write both thematic and document based essays using the 6 paragraph format, which requires students to acknowledge the opposing viewpoint and evidence presented in history generally or as specifically identified in the DBQ. Essay question are taken from released College Board exams, teacher-generated (based on the course themes detailed above), and other sources.
3 Primary Sources Throughout the school year students study a variety of primary sources. The Zinn reader, A Voice of the People s History of the United States, is used continuously with the textbook to elaborate and expand events presented in the textbook. In the beginning of the school year, students are taught to identify the following characteristics of all documents: date, author, source/type, intended audience, and the presence of bias. EXAMPLES: TEXTS: Sinners at the Hands of an Angry God, The Federalist Papers #10, Abraham Lincoln s contradictory letters discussing his view of slavery IMAGES: The cartoons of Thomas Nast, World War I and II propaganda posters, various maps, charts and graphs illustrating historic events and demographic changes AUDIO: Recordings of Ragtime and Big Band, Elvis, James Brown VIDEO: Documentaries such as The Fog of War, Ken Burn s Civil War, Eyes on the Prize Historiography Attention is given to historical interpretation throughout the year. Students read Richard Hofstadter s American Political Tradition, which analyzes and critiques various schools of thought in American history including, among others, American Exceptionalism and the Marxist interpretation of history. Students are challenged to agree or disagree with Hofstadter s analysis. Students also read Thomas DiLorenzo s The Truth About the "Robber Barons", a libertarian reinterpretation of Gilded Age industrialists. Additionally excerpts from Paul Johnson s History of the American People, include analysis of historians such as Frederick Jackson Turner, Charles and Mary Beard. Care is taken to include both left (Zinn, Loewen) and right (Johnson) perspectives of history. After the AP exam, students write an essay using historiography that answers the question, Who was the Best President of the United States? Supreme Court Case Summer Project Students research 50+ historically important Supreme Court decisions. [Abridged Primary Sources of Decisions] Each decision is summarized and categorized chronologically into various areas of the law in order to see the significant role of the court in U.S. history (attached) Pre-Columbian and Early Colonial America Enduring Vision Chapter 1.
