2012 Winter Break Assignment

Hello, APUSH'ers:

Listed below, are the resources, and the requirements for your winter break assignment.  I've done the best I can to make the assignment as "painless" as possible.  In addition to the assignment, I've also set up some opportunities for you to gain some extra credit.  The extra credit assignments are optional; it's your option to further your knowledge of US History on your own.   There will be separate links to those assignments .

So, What do I have to do?  

OK.  There are two packets, which you are responsible for completing.  When we return from the Winter Break, we're going to use the information in these packets to create review posters (a.k.a. "Pretty Posters".  More details when we get back).

Here are the two packets.  I'd suggest strongly working with a study group, to divide the labor.


Packet #1 - Key Questions 1700-1825
Packet #2 - Key Questions 1826-1876 - through Question 13

To help you complete the questions in the packets, I've enclosed a link to a listing of one-page-outlines (OPO'S).  CLICK HERE FOR THE LINK.   Packets 1-12 will be very helpful for you! Don't worry!  They're very short (only ONE page).

Here's some other great resources to help you!  Please note that you do not have to use all of the resources.  They are there to help you if you need them!

• Textbook - Through Chapter 
• Review Book - 
• Lectures: CLICK HERE - Units 2-4 are very helpful.   
• America: The Story of US - 
• Video 3

What Does America Mean to Me?

“What does America Mean to Me?”
Due Date:  9/16/2013 

Introduction:
It's been called the Land of Opportunity, the Land of Liberty, a melting pot and a great experiment. For more than 280 million people today, the United States of America is quite simply "home" -- a place of beauty, comfort and memories as well as a source of pride, strength and stability in an ever-changing world.
What does America mean to you? For this assignment, you will express those ideas in a written and visual form.

What do I Have to do?
1. Based on your experiences, in both school and “the real world,” consider what America means to you (Examples: Freedom? Opportunity?)
2. Brainstorm, and make a list of all the different things that America means to you. Then, narrow that list to the two or three most important things (in your opinion).
3. Once you have those ideas in mind, think about what those ideas would look like. What pictures, or images do these ideas create in your mind?
4. Using those images in your mind, draw, or download pictures that best express what America means to you in a visual form.
5. After you’ve selected your pictures or images, write a one-page composition that expresses your feelings in a written form. Try to make it clear to the reader what you are trying to say with your visual. Please make sure your composition is either typed, or neatly written in ink. IMPORTANT: There’s no right or wrong answer. However, you must be able to explain your answer.
6. On a piece of poster paper, attach those pictures, or images, as well as your composition. Try to use a colored piece of poster paper if possible. Arrange them in any manner you like (a collage, cut-outs, etc.). Make your presentation eye-catching and appealing; something that you would be proud to present to your classmates, parents, etc.
7. BE CREATIVE. WORK HARD. HAVE FUN.
8. Write your name, and class on the back of your poster board.

How Will I be Assessed? This assignment is worth 100 points. You will be given a rubric in class for this assignment.

Failure to meet the above deadline will result in a grade of ZERO for this assignment.

• 6. What did the French and Indian War reveal about Britain’s fundamental attitudes toward its North American colonies. How did the British view of the colonists differ from the way the colonistsunderstood themselves and their identity?
• When the Seven Years’ War (French and Indian War) began, most American colonists were extremely proud and happy to be British citizens, part of the world’s greatest empire. When it ended many of them no longer felt that way, even though the British Empire was more powerful  than ever. Why?

Warren G. Harding
To many, Warren G. Harding was an ineffective philanderer whose presidency became entangled in scandal. Fred Nielsen's guest, John Dean, sets the record straight, arguing that Warren G. Harding was a far better president than popular opinion allows. John Dean served for three years as White House counsel in the Nixon administration. His new book, Warren G. Harding is part of The American Presidents series, edited by Arthur Schlesinger Jr. Airdate: December 13, 2004. 
The Tulsa Riot
In 1921 a black man in Tulsa, Oklahoma was accused of sexually assaulting a white woman.
