Please add these two readings to those you received in class this week. There will be a quiz over all four of them on the 28th/29th.
Welcome to Mr. Allard’s APUSH blog! Get used to looking at this site over the next nine months, for it is here that the readings and assignments and PowerPoints will be located for our class. You will be accessing this site for the materials needed for class and homework, and it will also provide information about the class activities. The first link is an opening letter that will better explain my expectations and procedures:
AP US History Letter to the Student
The following are the grading guidelines for AP classes:
Lastly, here is an information sheet I would like for you to have filled out when you come to the August 12th registration (which I HIGHLY encourage you to take advantage). Those students who bring it to me on that day, or email it completed by August 24th, will receive ten extra points on the first quiz.
AP US History Information Sheet
That first quiz, by the way, will be on August 31st, on these readings:
Indian Encounters With the Dutch
These are pretty brief readings, so don’t freak! You can take notes and use them, like it explains in the letter.
Also, I remind you that the summer assignment will be due September 2nd. I will be available on the 12th if you are having difficulty or need clarification. Let me be clear: I expect full answers, not brief two word responses, in most cases. I look forward to seeing you very soon.
