1 Page 1 of 6 Advanced Placement United States History Syllabus Rappahannock High School Course Design and Purpose: The Advance Placement program in United States History is designed to provide students with the analytical skills and factual knowledge necessary to deal critically with the problems and materials of United States history. The course prepares students for intermediate and advanced college courses by making demands upon them equivalent to those made by full-year introductory college survey courses. It is a two-semester survey of American history from the age of exploration and discovery to the present. Solid reading and writing skills, along with a willingness to devote considerable time to homework and study, are necessary to succeed. Emphasis is placed on critical and evaluative thinking skills, essay writing, interpretation of original documents, and historiography. Students will learn to interpret and evaluate the relative significance of primary and secondary source material, and to present their evidence and conclusions clearly and persuasively in an essay format. Introduction: In a world that is changing with great rapidity, experiences in school that relate to what students see happening around them must prepare them to function effectively in a future world that promises to require each person continually to make choices in expanding alternative possibilities. Therefore, realizing the study of man s relationship to his fellow man is more important than ever before. The course of study is designed to increase the socio-political awareness and contribute significantly the ability to handle the critical requirements before mankind. At the same time it will provide a framework in which students may perceive the relevance of what they are studying to their own needs and abilities to control the future. Student Objectives Students will: 1. master a broad body of historical knowledge; 2. effectively use analytical skills of evaluation, cause and effect, and compare and contrast; 3. demonstrate an understanding of historical chronology; 4. use historical data to support an argument or position; 5. differentiate between the multitude of historical interpretations on events, movements and individuals in American history representing conflicting points of view; 6. interpret and apply data from original documents, including letters, cartoons, graphs, pictures, maps, etc.; 7. work effectively with others to produce products and solve problems; 8. understand material presented through lecture, small group discussions, audio-visual aids, and studentresponsible classroom periods; 9. write essays on the validity and reliability of various historical interpretations in light of historical evidence; 10. take useful notes from both printed materials and lectures or discussions, write essay examinations, and write analytical document based essays, with the ability to express themselves with clarity and precision and know how to cite sources and credit the persons and ideas of others; 11. prepare for and successfully pass the SOL Test and the Advanced Placement Exam. Organization: Unit assignment sheets will be provided every 2 to 3 weeks. Daily reading assignments and Discussion Questions for outlining will be included. Quiz and test dates will be noted. Pop quizzes are to be expected. Students are responsible for keeping up with the reading assignments and being aware of, and ready for quizzes and tests. Class will be a combination of lecture, group work, coverage of discussion questions, answering student questions, and Internet research. Periodically student essays, reports, or presentations will be required.
2 Course Texts and Readings: Basic text The American Pageant, David Kennedy and Thomas Bailey Page 2 of 6 Secondary texts - The American Spirit Volumes I and II, David Kennedy and Thomas Bailey Davidson and Lytle, After the Fact Outside readings The Federalist Papers (selected sections) Frederick Mack, Manifest Destiny (selected sections) Kenneth Stamp, The Peculiar Institution (optional extra credit reading) Frederick Lewis Allen, Only Yesterday (optional extra credit reading) Students may find it helpful to take notes in, highlight, or otherwise mark in the text. They may do so if they agree to purchase the text at cost at the end of the year. Study Techniques: The reading load, especially in the first 6-10 weeks, is considerable. In order to cover the maximum amount of material with the least amount of stress, sharing is definitely encouraged. While each student is expected to read all text material, outlining discussion questions and supplemental readings may be shared with group. You are responsible for understanding all of the material for testing. The amount of time required for homework for this class will vary with your reading speed. Assignments vary in length. Watch your weekly assignment sheet and plan ahead for long assignments, supplemental readings, take-home essays, etc. Time management is an essential skill for this class, and you must take the responsibility for budgeting your time. As you become accustomed to the course format and tests, things will fall into place and become easier. It is important to not get discouraged. The Key to Success: The most important grading factor in this class is consistent effort and improvement. Do not be discouraged if your grades seem low in the first grading period. If you knew the material already, you would not need the course. Effort and improvement are weighed in grading. What you will learn in terms of writing, thinking, and study skills will be worth the effort! Attendance: Attendance in this class is essential. Much or the material for success is provided through lecture/discussion. Missing class can create problems. Advanced Placement Exam: The AP Exam is given in May. Registration for the exam takes place in February. Taking the exam is a course requirement and can earn you college credit and/or advanced placement.
