Mr. JaunalAdvanced Placement United States History Syllabus, 2007-2008

I. COURSE DESCRIPTION

The AP 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 in United States History. The program prepares students for intermediate and advanced college courses by making demands upon them equivalent to those made by full-year introductory college courses. Students will learn to assess historical materials- their relevance to a given interpretive problem, their reliability, and their importance- and to weigh the evidence and interpretations presented in historical scholarship. An AP United States History course thus develops the skills necessary to arrive at conclusions on the basis of an informed judgment and to present reasons and evidence clearly and persuasively in an essay format.

The major difference between a high school and college history course is the amount of reading and depth of focus. Moreover, the AP curriculum stresses higher order thinking skills within a rigorous academic context. Thus, the student will be required frequently to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate primary and secondary historical sources in addition to memorizing, comprehending, and applying facts. To succeed, students must be highly motivated and capable of higher level thinking. As in any college course responsibility for learning rests on the student. The APUSH course is meant to be college level course taught in a high school environment. In fact, it is harder than the average college history course since the textbook and all materials must be completed by late April (requiring a pace of 1.5 chapters per week) and because it culminates with a rigorous, comprehensive, nationally administered exam in May. With a passing score, many universities will accept the course for college credit. Indeed, statistics indicate that students who take AP courses stand a far greater chance of graduating from college then those who don’t.The goal of this course is prepare students to pass the AP US History exam which will be given on May 9, 2008.

II. ABOUT THE AP EXAM

The AP Exam is three hours and five minutes long. There are 80 multiple choice questions (five possible answers for each) which take 55 minutes to complete, and accounts for 50%of the final exam score. There is a free response (essay) section which takes 130 total minutes and accounts for the 50% of the final exam score. Within this free response section, there is a DBQ (document-based question) which takes 60 minutes and accounts for 45% of thishalf of the exam; and two sets of free response questions (two questions each) of which the students select one set to answer. These take 35 minutes each and account for 27.5% each, or 55% of this portion of the exam score. There is no way to know what type of questions will be asked on any portion of the exam. That is why it is important to conduct the AP experience as a broad survey course with depth on key points emphasized by the College Board.

III. ACADEMIC OBJECTIVES

The major goal of this course is to instill a deep understanding and appreciation for the American historical experience. To this end, elevated levels of scholarship are expected; including the analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of historical information. Student essays are expected to contain thesis statements and critical evaluation. Additional objectives include:

1. Students will be prepared for the Advanced Placement United States History Exam.2. Students will study selected historical themes and the context and significance of major

interpretive questions. 3. Students will analyze and interpret primary sources, including documentary material, maps,

statistical tables, and pictorial and graphic evidence of historical events. 4. Students will approach history critically and be able to analyze and evaluate competing sources of

historical interpretation (historiography). 5. Students will take notes from both printed materials and from lectures. 6. Students will demonstrate test-taking skills, including the successful completion of timed test. 7. Students will express themselves with clarity and precision as well as cite sources and credit the

phrases and ideas of others.8. Students will participate in topical discussions and class activities.

XIII. SOME FINAL THOUGHTS

By selecting to participate in an AP US History course, a student instantly becomes a member of what could be called the “two percent club.” Only two percent of all high school students (310,000 last year) in the United States take the AP US History examination, and for joining this small group of scholars, a student is to be commended. It is important to note, however, that the AP experience is designed to be a college-level, challenging course and that there are no guarantees with regard to grades. According to the College Board, it “is committed to the principle that all students deserve an opportunity to participate in rigorous and academically challenging courses and programs. All students who are willing to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum should be considered for admission to AP courses.” A student will not receive an A or a B in this course simply because he or she decided to take “the hardest

4

history course.” Taking AP US History simply to “bump up one's GPA” will backfire. A student must be dedicated to reading, note-taking, participating in discussions, and writing throughout the course of the school year in order to achieve at an A or B level. The AP program provides equal access to all students and the course is designed for those who are dedicated to the challenges of a rigorous academic course.
