AP UNITED STATES HISTORY SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT

Advanced Placement United States History is designed to teach students to think critically about the issues that have confronted and influenced the United States through a process that integrates the examination of factual knowledge, the development and application of analytic skills, and the assessment of primary and secondary sources. This class is the equivalent of an introductory college survey course in U.S. history, and its content spans the “discovery” and settlement of the New World to the present. To accomplish this task, the APUSH Summer Assignment must cover the first 200 years of history during the summer. Below you will find your summer reading assignment. If you have any questions, email me at jdean@teaneckschools.org.
