Skills Development

The following section material focuses on developing historical thinking and writing skills.

SumHIPPOS: Document Set

Apply your understanding of all components of SumHIPPOS by practicing the skill on a variety of documents relevant to this period of study. The purpose of SumHIPPOS Document Sets is for skills development purposes to strengthen extended analysis in written responses.

This is intended to be a COLLABORATION skills development assignment. You are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED (but not required) to collaborate with your colleagues to analyze each document to practice these analytical skills. Each students will receive an individual copy; however, an Academic Conversation Team may decide to share one file with the entire group for collaboration purposes. These document analysis practice sets will not be formally submitted but may be reviewed for feedback or used in class discussions. Work smarter...not harder

A Google Doc file (image on right) of concise documents, similar to those used on the AP exam, covering AP Topics will be assigned to you through Google Classroom. The file is titled P0##SumHIPPOS. You will receive an individual assignment file. If you choose to collaborate, you and your colleagues will need to decide how you want to collaborate and document share. There are several options and you are able to make those decisions on your own. More details will be provided in Google Classroom.

Throughout the module, you will see a notice on some Topic pages indicating documents in the SumHIPPOS: Document set are aligned to that particular Topic. This is to provide benchmarks along the way to break up the work for those completing this individually or to guide collaborators to benchmark completion dates.

Please note: All of these documents have been extracted from previously used stimulus based multiple choice questions, SAQ prompts, and DBQ prompts. Sometimes documents are reused in a different question format. Additionally, this research provides potential outside evidence and/or perspectives on various topics.

Document/s aligned to this topic:

• Document/s 1

Save your work.

Academic Conversation

In a group of 2-4 colleagues, participate in an academic conversation focusing on the following topic/s:

• Topic Essential Question

Highly recommended. Work smarter, not harder.

Extended Research

The following activities are considered works in progress. Although progress checks will be completed and feedback provided, you will only officially submit them at the conclusion of the module or specifically identified dates.. This will provide you flexibility in completing them with accuracy, depth, and purpose. Completion of these activities promote long-term preparation for the course and AP exams.

Extended Research files will be provided through our Google Classroom as an assignment.

Review: Benchmark Review Questions (BRQ)

Log into AP Classroom, your My AP account, to access the assignment. These questions are designed to provide you immediate feedback. Use the feedback to determine if you are ready to proceed to the next topic, if you should review this topic, or revisit this topic at a later date.

Topic Assignment: Answer the Essential Question
