AP U.S. HISTORY

Ms. Taylor

General Course Description and Expectations: AP U.S. History is an introductory college-level U.S. history course. Students cultivate their understanding of U.S. history from c. 1491 CE to the present through analyzing historical sources and learning to make connections and craft historical arguments as they explore concepts like American and national identity; work, exchange, and technology; geography and the environment; migration and settlement; politics and power; America in the world; American and regional culture; and social structures.

The work done in this course is college-level, and it is expected that all students will treat it as such. In order for students to perform well on the AP Exam, students must meet the high expectations for the course and share the responsibility for mastery of the course objectives. A significant amount of coursework will be done outside of the classroom. Students are expected to participate fully, both in class and out, and to work diligently to get the most out of the course.
