Summer Assignment 2017
Advanced Placement United States History
Ms. Krall Room 347
2017-2018
Welcome to APUSH! You have chosen to experience American history in a challenging and fast paced environment. It is imperative that you understand the following: you will get out of this class what you put into this class. Advanced Placement United States History is a College Board approved course, and covers a college level curriculum. In order to prepare for the AP exam in May, you need to prepare yourself to move quickly through our nation’s history so that we may remain on track throughout the year. I have high expectations of you, including that you complete some preparatory work over the summer so that we may begin the school year ready to go. Please develop a plan of attack for the summer assignment so that you are not scrambling to complete the assignment with only a few days left.
What to do before the end of the school year and over the summer:
· Read this course description paper and the class description online at: http://www.krallhistory.com/course-description.html with your parents/guardians. Sign and return to me by May 31st.
· Visit our class website at: http://krallhistory.weebly.com/ap-united-states-history . Familiarize yourself with the website, visit the tabs, and familiarize yourself with the resources posted. There will be a copy of your summer assignment posted on the page.
· You may follow the class twitter account (@KrallAP) for updates over the summer, however this is not required. If you follow the class account, do not use twitter to communicate with me. Use my email address (krallk@sgasd.org).
· Purchase a 3” three-ring binder in which to organize your assignments. You will need it.
· Purchase a composition notebook for class notes. You will need it.
· Complete the summer assignment. I will not accept the assignment late.
If you have any questions regarding the course or the assignment, feel free to email me at krallk@sgasd.org. Manage your time wisely! I suggest you do not wait until the last remaining week of summer to start your assignment. Pace yourself. This will allow you to enjoy your summer much more.
