High School       Advanced Placement US History Class
    -Baltimore-                          A Pattern (Semester 1, Sophomores)                                        
                                        G Pattern (Semesters 2 and 3, Juniors)






The  Advanced Placement United States History course is designed to provide students with the analytical skills and enduring understandings necessary to deal critically with the events and patterns in the history of the United States. The course also prepares students for college by making demands upon them equivalent to those made by introductory college courses.

Students should learn to assess historical materials such as first hand descriptions, documents, and opinion pieces as well as following the text. Students should learn all the components of historical scholarship, including analysis of events based on an informed knowledge base. Students should also learn how to write clearly and quickly, and how to make persuasive arguments based on evidence. Lastly, students should discover themselves as active learners who seek information rather than passive consumers who expect all the material for  a course and its assessments to be presented to them.

Projects and Research Papers

First Semester Research Project




I. DESIGNED LEARNING OUTCOMES AND EVIDENCE FOR ASSESSMENT

  1.  To express verbally or in writing an awareness of our nation's past and present 
  2.  To understand current issues and how to reason towards solution.
  3.  To analyze and interpret primary sources, including documentary materials, maps, statistical tables, and pictorial and graphic evidence of historical events 
  4.  To write essay examinations and analytical papers 
  5.  To express themselves with clarity and precision and know how to cite sources and credit the phrases and ideas of others 
  6.  To understand the causes and effects of major events such as the American Revolution, Civil War, Great Depression, the World Wars, and The Cold War
  7. To see trends in areas such as politics, diplomacy, and social reform
  8. To understand significant historical controversies concerning each period in American History
  9. To understand the complexity of American backgrounds and problems and develop a tolerance toward differences among Americans and American ideas
  10. To express an appreciation of the student’s own identity, his own worth, and his place in the society in which he lives


II. INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS
  1. Students are expected to keep a notebook on the material covered during class lectures, discussions and presentations.
  2. Students are given regular reading assignments in their text, The American Pageant.
  3. They are expected to do these assignments since the reading directly relates to the class discussions.
  4. For each class, the students should construct several discussion-based questions pertaining to the reading assignment. Through these questions, the class can discuss those things that were unclear in the reading as well as explore opinions and implications to other topics not mentioned in the reading.
  5. Each semester, the students are expected to give a brief presentation on one topic mentioned in the readings. On his assigned day, the student must be well organized and interesting. He must present the topic as well as provide stimulating questions to help direct the class discussion.  Each presentation/discussion should last about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Since a constant effort is made to relate historical topics with what is happening in the world today, each class will begin with a brief discussion on a current event topic. Each student will be expected to keep abreast of events taking place in the world today by watching the news, reading the newspaper or listening to a news-based radio station.
  7. Class discussions are a daily item. They are based on the text reading and the daily presentations. Each student is expected to participate in the class discussions. During each lesson several students will be called upon to provide brief summaries of the reading assignment.
  8. Each student will write a research paper on a topic agreeable with the instructor.  More information on these will be given at a later date.


III. METHODS OF EVALUATION

  1. Occasional quizzes will be given to ensure that reading assignments are being done and that students are aware of current events. These quizzes will be small (10 – 15   questions).
  2. Tests are given every 3-4 weeks. They will consist of multiple choice/true-false and essay questions. The tests will count for approximately 60% of the student's semester average.
  3. Topic presentation is worth 40 pts. Students will be evaluated on their organization, knowledge and creativity.
  4. The semester paper will be worth 200 points (two test grades).
  5. At the end of the first semester, a comprehensive examination is given. This exam counts as two test grades.  


IV. TEXTS AND MATERIALS
  1. .
  2. Handouts from current articles.
  3. Relevant readings from books, articles and the Internet.
