A.P. UNITED STATES HISTORY 2018-2019 READING SCHEDULE Text: James A. Henretta, et. al. 2008 America s History. Sixth Edition. Boston. Bedford/ St. Martin s Kevin J. Fernlund ed. Documents to Accompany America s History, Vols. 1 & 2 In order to keep up with this reading schedule, students will need to plan on 7-8 pages of reading a night. This is typically one chapter a week. Students will benefit by reading ahead during the week so that they come to class prepared to ask better questions and engage the material at a higher level. This schedule is for the textbook reading only. Reading primary sources and other supplementary sources will also be part of coursework. I will assume that the reading is taking place according to this schedule. Quizzes based on the reading assignment will be given periodically. If the class falls behind schedule, for whatever the reason, the balance of the work will be made up independently. For example, if we postpone a test one day, it will mean one less day for the next chapter. Should we find ourselves multiple days behind schedule, independent work may be assigned over vacations or long weekends.
