    Welcome to AP US History
     
     
    Read like a historian  
     Get ready for a busy and exciting year!  Our curriculum challenges you to think like a historian.  This class is not so much about memorizing historical detail, but being able to use the details to understand the deeper meanings and patterns in history.  The course involves constant class participation, lots of writing, and consistent reading! 
     
    Over the summer:  Follow all instructions under the Summer Reading Assignment, including formatting guidelines.  Be prepared for a quiz on Devil in the White City. 
     
    Supplies:
     
    •  large ring binder
    •  looseleaf paper
    •  printer paper 
    •  colored pencils 
    •  AP Review Book (Kaplan is a good choice)
     
    This is a discussion based class. Be prepared to participate during each session! See
