1.  Most Historically Significant Individuals That No One Knows Project.

• Individual or with partner

• Choose five individuals whose contributions to American history and culture have been considerable but about whom very little is known.  Avoid the obvious—no presidents, no first ladies!

• Explain who they are and what time period they lived in 
• What did they do? 
• Why do you think they are significant in U.S. History?

• Create a poster, a Power Point, or a film that presents your choices, fills in the little known details of their lives, and explains the significance of their contributions.

• You might want to focus on an area of history interesting to you and not dead center in the mainstream—medicine, engineering, art, music, video games, etc.

For a very cool example of this project, CLICK HERE 

2.  U.S. History through Comic Books (or other popular culture media): 

• Individual or with partner

• Explain if/how the superhero/popular culture icon impacted U.S. history 
• Why are comic books/popular culture icons significant in U.S. History

• Create a poster, a PowerPoint, or a film that presents your superhero, fills in the little known details of their lives, and explains the significance of historical events on their development and storytelling.

• Track the history of the superhero through the decades: 1930s-present 

• Significant Seven: the seven most historically significant superheroes include:
• Superman (June 1938) 
• Batman (May 1939) 
• Wonder Woman (Summer 1942) 
• Spider-Man (August 1962) 
• Captain America (March 1941)

Post APUSH Exam Assignments

Hello, All: 
The APUSH exam is over!  However, there is still much work to be done.  For some of us, that means preparing for the Regents exam.  For others, it's more in-depth, independent study of a variety of exciting, interesting topics in American History.  We will have time in class, and outside of class to work on these assignments.  

IF YOU STILL NEED TO TAKE THE REGENTS EXAM...
Assignment #1 - The Amendment Mini Project.  CLICK HERE for the link.  Follow the directions carefully.  Watch the videos, and complete the assignment as directed.  

Assignment #2 - Supreme Court Mini-Project.  CLICK HERE for the link.  

Assignment #3 - The Flash Card Project:  CLICK HERE for the link. 

DUE DATE: June 7, 2017.  

IF YOU ARE NOT TAKING THE REGENTS EXAM: Choose any THREE (3) of the following. 

Option #1:  Read the eBook, LEGACY.  Legacy focuses on Lt. Col. Norman Starr of the U.S. Army, his wife, Nancy, and his West Point buddy-turned lawyer, Zach. It’s the weekend before Norman is set to testify before a Senate committee looking into the Iran-Contra affair. Norman’s clean on Iran but not on Central America. If he speaks the truth when asked about his activities helping the Contras, Norman will likely do himself some serious damage. 

After reading the book, generate THREE guided reading questions (GRQ's) for each of the NINE chapters of the book.  Please provide answers to the questions that you develop. 

Option #2:  Write one of the final chapters for the Legacy novel. The novel  wraps up the Starr family's story in the late 1980's. Your task is to develop a chapter around a new Starr family member anchored in  key events from American history between 1990 and 2017

Get started: Character Sketches for Legacy and Timeline 

OPTION #3: Grand Expectations.    Click the link for the project information. 

OPTION #4: Images That Defined America.   

Since its invention, photography has provided a window into the events that have changed the course of our nation.  Images are seared into America’s collective memory and chronicled our nation’s progress and struggles during an era of rapid change. 

Your task:  Choose TEN images from The 50 Most Powerful Pictures In American History;  and then provide a 150 word summary explaining your choice. 

Here is a sample summary:  Burst of Joy 1.pdf
