Summer Assignment

.Advanced Placement United States History (APUSH)
Summer Assignment Information


Welcome to APUSH!! I’m happy to be working with motivated, hard-working, goal oriented students!  Your level of effort will determine your level of success in the classroom and your success may lead to college credit.


You are being given a summer assignment that will be due on the first day of school (Wednesday, September 3, 2014).  The purpose of this assignment is to give you a head start and background knowledge before school starts.  There is a great deal of material to cover in order to be prepared for the College Board exam in May.


Since you will not be purchasing your copy of Amsco’s “United States History, Preparing for the Advanced Placement Exam” (2010) until the first week of school, (the front office one will order one for you.) I will share a copy with you through Google Apps. Please check your school gmail account often.


Assignment:
1.  You have been given a map of the original 13 colonies.  Please print and label these.
2.  You have been given a map of the United States.  Please print and label these with accurate state initials (i.e., Washington = WA, Florida = FL and so on...)


Read Chapters 1-6 of the American Pageant 12th edition. I will share these first six chapters with you through Google Apps.


Read Chapters 1-5 of the AMSCO book which I have shared with you through Google Apps..


Also...have a fantastic summer!!!
Ms. Niles
