Welcome to Advanced Placement United States History (APUSH)! This next year will be challenging so here are some summer suggestions to get you ready. Assignments follow. Electronic Copy: 1. Enjoy your summer. Yes, you have summer assignments, but they should not consume all your free time. Go to the movies, take a swim, or stroll the mall with your friends. You will wish for that free time during the school year! 2. Explore history. If you take a vacation, stop at an historical marker along the way. If you don’t go on vacation find history in Houston. Take a selfie with a historical marker in Houston or on vacation. (this selfie will go on your binder cover) Take the time to start thinking historically. 3. Read. Read several books over the course of the summer. You will do a lot of reading in this class next year and if you are not in the habit of turning pages, it will be more difficult to adjust. Sure, read fiction, but try picking up a historical book as well. Fill out book review form.4. Write. Keep a journal for the summer, or try to write a short story. The more you write, the easier it is to write well. You will do a lot of writing in this class. The more comfortable you are with writing the more successful you will be. 5. Become an informed citizen. Read the newspaper. Watch CNN. Listen to NPR. Try to keep updated on world events. Develop an opinion (based on fact) about the country and the world that you live in. Fill out current event form.6. Learn your geography. Geography is going to play an important part of this course. The more you know about geography the farther ahead you will be. Be sure to study (memorize) your maps upon completion.7. Watch history movies! Do you really need to watch Game of Thrones season 7 again? Well, maybe… but when you have a free evening watch something historical. Write movie review.8. Explore your family history. Stuck for a conversation starter at dinner? Ask your elders what it was like growing up during a major event in US History. History is a compilation of people’s lives, their experiences, and their decisions; we are simply a product of those things and so much more. Use Family History Interview form as a starting point.9. Ask Questions. Studies show the more you exercise your brain, the longer you will live. Continue to challenge yourself and resist the urge by taking the easy way out when posed with difficult challenges. The more you ask questions the more you will understand and the more knowledge you will gain.
