Advanced Placement United States History Information PacketMrs. Dunn 2014- 2015

GENERAL INFORMATIONThis course will be treated, to the extent possible, as a typical college survey course in United States History.

Course Description: AP US History is a college level course designed to provide students with the analytical skills and factual knowledge necessary to deal critically with the problems and materials in American History. Students will learn to assess historical materials – their relevance to a given interpretative problem, their reliability and their importance – and to weigh the evidence and interpretations presented in historical scholarship. This should develop student skills necessary to arrive at conclusions on the basis of an informed judgment and to present reasons and evidence clearly and persuasively in essay format. The survey of American History provides extensive chronological coverage and readings in a broad variety of topics that include economic, cultural, intellectual, and social history in addition to political-constitutional and diplomatic history.

This course is equivalent to a college survey course. It is demanding, rigorous, fast-paced, and challenging. It is designed to prepare students for the College Board Advanced Placement Examination, which will be given Friday, May 8, 2015. Students will be responsible for extensive reading, essay writing, primary source analysis, as well as in-depth projects. Skill Expectations: APUSH STUDENTS SHOULD BE ADVANCED READERS, WRITERS, AND THINKERS. Additionally, APUSH students should:- be able to deal with setbacks- accept and respond to critical feedback - have strong time management skills - consider the number of other honors and

AP classes they take on

- be willing to put in extra effort - be organized and responsible - have good attendance

AP Test: All students are required to take the test on Friday, May 8, 2015. The exam is 3 hours and 15 minutes in length. The first section contains 55 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 55 minutes and is worth 40% of the total score. The essay section includes a set of 4 short-answer questions (SAQs) to be completed in 45 minutes. Some of these questions will have a stimulus such as an image or a quote. Next is the document-based essay (DBQ) which will include a series of excerpts, images, graphs, cartoons, or other sources that must be interpreted. The third section requires students to answer one long-essay question (LEQ) within a 35 minute time frame. The essay section is worth 60% of the total score. Students receive results from this national exam in July. The scores they receive will determine if they receive college credit for the course. The cost of the AP Exam last year was $95. In order to receive AP credit on your transcript, students are required to take the examination.

READINGRequired Textbooks: American Pageant, 13th Edition, Kennedy, Cohen and Bailey, Houghton Mifflin Company, 2006. A People’s History of the United States, Howard Zinn, 2003. (available online for no charge)

Supplemental/Optional Texts: American Spirit, Vol. I & II, 11th Ed., Kennedy & Bailey, Houghton Mifflin, 2006. (class set)A History of the American People, Paul Johnson, 1999. These supplemental sources are of college caliber, and will provide a well-rounded perspective on the content presented in Kennedy. These books are also available for check-out at the school library.

Other Primary or Secondary Source Documents:In addition to the readings from the textbook, students will be asked to read other documents, either during class or for homework, as they relate to the units covered. GRADING POLICYGrades fall into one of these categories: Tests, Essays, and Other. Grades are weighted – each category is approximately one-third of your overall grade. NOTE: There will be no changing of grades based on AP scores. Your grade in the class will be based on your in-class performance. Your score on the AP will most likely closely reflect your efforts in class.

Tests: Please be aware that there is a test and essay almost every week. Since you know this ahead of time, I will not accept the excuse that you didn’t know there was an exam or that you are not ready to take the exam. It is not necessary to use a review book or other materials to study for the unit tests, but there are a couple of resources that I could recommend; these will be discussed in class. For the most part, Kennedy, lecture notes, KIDS, and handouts will prove to be sufficient, however. Please do not schedule vacations on test days.

Essays: There are three types of essays: Short-Answer Questions (SAQs), Document Based Questions (DBQs), and Long-Essay Questions (LEQs). All DBQs and LEQs will be graded on the AP 1-9 rubric and will be given an equivalent score out of 100. All SAQs will be graded on a point system with each question being worth 3 points and being given the equivalent score out of 25.

Make-up Policy: Make-up tests and essays will be given at the end of the semester. Make-ups will be cumulative and will be given for every missed test and/or essay.

Other: This is the “catch-all” category. Any homework, pop-quizzes, presentations, etc. fall in this category. Class participation will also be a part of this category.

Key Ids (“KIDS”): You will be given a list of key identifiers for each unit. The Key Ids are intended to help you understand the material, prepare for the weekly exams, and provide “money in the bank” for the AP Exam in May. If you do a good job now, reviewing in May using your Key Ids will be very simple.

3

For each term on the Key ID list, you must include a definition and the significance of each term. The significance explains why this term is important; it answers the questions “So what?” and/or “Why do I need to know this?” Sometimes this will become more obvious as you continue to read the chapter. Use bullet points and/or phrases. It is suggested that you also include dates where applicable.

All Key Ids must be done in YOUR own handwriting. It is not acceptable to share information or work with other students while doing the Key Ids. Information for the Key Ids comes mainly from reading the textbook. Occasionally you may need to consult another source if the textbook is not clear. Also, be sure to look at photo captions and quotes when completing your Key Ids.

Key Ids may be done on index cards or on 8.5x11 paper. If you choose to do it on paper, please number and highlight each Key Id. Color coding based on the new APUSH themes: Identity-PINK; Work, Exchange, & Technology-GREEN; Peopling-ORANGE; Politics & Power-RED; America in the World-YELLOW; Environment & Geography-BLUE; Idea, Beliefs, & Culture-PURPLE.

Presidential Election Chart: This is a long term assignment.

Quarter and Semester Finals: These are cumulative. They will be 55 multiple choice question tests. The Semester Final will also have a Presidents Test. You will be asked to identify the presidents’ first and last names, years they served, and their political party, in order.

Helpful Hints for History Essay Writing by Mrs. Tootell

Suggested Construction of Persuasive Essays

Introduction should include:General intro statement on the topic which gives context3-4 sentences which introduce the subject and paragraph topicsParameters (time and place) and define terms as necessary. Thesis statement

Thesis Guidelines: Thesis is answer to the question and will guide the entire essay.

The thesis statement is not a fact; it is an informed interpretation of the facts. Do not merely restate the question; you now must be more sophisticated. The thesis should:

i. Fully address every aspect of the questionii. Take a debatable position with regard to the question

iii. List the paragraph categories

Body Paragraph Format1. Topic statement/sentence: Includes topic of paragraph AND connection to thesis2. Evidence (relevant historical fact that you will use to support the topic statement and support the thesis, explained in detail) (SAY)3. Explanation: What do these facts mean in relation to the paragraph topic? (MEAN)4. Interpretative Commentary/Analysis: What do these facts mean in relation tothe thesis? Explain in detail how and why—that is, give reasons for your reasons(MATTER)5. Repeat b, c, and d for each piece of evidence in your paragraph. You must have atleast 2, but preferably 3 pieces of evidence in each paragraph. 6. Transition sentence: Moves the essay to the next major topic sentence in theessay.

Once you have this down, you can then move on to adding in a concession statement and an “opposing viewpoint” paragraph. Again, a concession indicates that you are aware of the complexity of the question and that there is an opposing viewpoint to the one you are taking. So, not only do you need to prove your point, but disprove the other point of view. A good spot for this paragraph is after the introduction. Avoid the 50-50 essay. Your argument should not be perfectly balanced. Think 75-25.

Concluding Paragraph should:Reinforce the thesisSummarize the main points of the body paragraphsAddress “So what?” (historical significance)

15

HOW TO ANALYZE A PROMPT

1. UNDERLINE key terms/words that will need to defined/clarified in order to answer the prompt correctly.

2. CIRCLE the parameters. If they are not specifically stated, you can determine your own parameters.

3. NUMBER the parts of the question. Be sure you are answering the prompt correctly, and that you are covering all aspects. Remember, rarely is the prompt as simple as it looks!!!!!!

4. LIST information to be used in the essay. This can include laws, treaties, events, court cases, etc. With a DBQ, as you read the documents, add to your database.

5. WRITE your thesis.

HOW TO INTERPRET A PROMPT

To what extent: How much, to what degree, quantity

Analyze: Separate, breakdown into parts, show relationships

Evaluate: Judge, place value on, rate, rank, show relationships

Assess the validity of: How true is the statement?

Types of Thesis Statements Direct: This is a straightforward statement that clearly and directly answers the question. To a remarkable degree, Jacksonian democrats succeeded in implementing their vision of American society.

Compound: Use this approach when trying to prove two main points. Use the word “and”. Jacksonian democrats successfully portrayed themselves as guardians of American ideals and did indeed achieve a remarkable degree of success in protecting these ideals.

Complex-Direct: This type of thesis statement acknowledges that contrary evidence exists and addresses the complexity inherent in most essay prompts. A well executed complex thesis offers students the best opportunity to earn a high score. Key words such as “although” are helpful in constructing this type of thesis. Although Jacksonian democrats truly believed that they were the guardians of American ideals, their actions betrayed other priorities and rarely lived up to either their rhetoric or intentions.

Listing: This thesis splits the thesis into several categories. In essence it combines the thesis statement with the plan of attack/themes of the essay.

16

To a large extent Jacksonian democrats were not effective guardians of the United States Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equality of economic opportunity.

Thesis examples

Bad: George Washington set many important precedents as president. This is a fact, not a position.

Good: The precedents that Washington set as America’s first president greatly benefited the American political system. This is a clear position that can be supported or opposed.

Weak: The Revolutionary War brought about change in American society. This is technically a position, but it is vague and not really debatable.

Strong: The Revolutionary War ushered in a slew of wide-ranging and permanent social changes in American society. This is a clear, strong, and debatable thesis.

DBQs

With a DBQ, be sure to use AT LEAST half + 1 of the documents in your essay. A minimum of 6 is usually safe.

Do not refer to the document in this way: “Document A says…” or “As stated in Document A….”. Instead, be sophisticated in your reference of the documents. You can do this by referencing the content of the document or discussing why the document matters.

ALWAYS cite the document parenthetically at the end of the sentence. (Doc A.)Documents should be used in body paragraphs, not the introduction or conclusion.

There is no maximum or minimum to the number of documents you use in a paragraph.

NEVER let the documents drive your essay.

TECHNICAL STUFFAWK – awkward, doesn’t flow or is

grammatically incoherent

WC- word choice, not the correct

connotation, inappropriate for APUSH

TS – topic sentence, needs to identify topic

and include reference to thesis

TR – needs a better transitional sentence

VT – verb tense, use PAST tense

? – this makes no sense whatsoever

ERROR – Historical or factual inaccuracy

OI – outside information

√ - piece of OI or strong analytical point

Studying With Notecards

The purpose of notecards is to gain a familiarity with the subject and keep it fresh over a long period of time. History is a subject, not unlike a foreign language, which must be relearned and used in order to be understood. Memorization will not be helpful on the essay portions of the exam. You need to create connections with notecards. Students who do well on notecards, keep up with them, take them seriously, and consistently study with them do well on the AP exam.

Steps1. Make sure the index cards that you use for Key Ids are of uniform size.

2. The front of the card should have the Key Id written clearly and boldly. You might also want to include the page number on the card.

3. The back of the card should contain the information that corresponds to the concept or phrase on the front.

4. While studying with the stack, you should make three piles. 1. Cards that you immediately recognize and can immediately answer. 2. Cards that you recognize eventually and can eventually answer. 3. Cards that you do not recognize.

5. Shuffle groups 2 and 3 and start over again. The idea is to get all cards into group 1. When that is completed, move on to another set of cards.

6. Do not use your cards for more than 15 minutes at a time. Take a break and do something completely different for another 30 minutes and then come back to the cards.
