AP U.S. History
Welcome to the Bolton High School AP U.S. History home page!
In AP U.S. History, students investigate significant events, individuals, developments, and
processes in nine historical periods from approximately 1491 to the present. Students
develop and use the same skills and methods employed by historians: analyzing primary
and secondary sources; developing historical arguments; making historical connections;
and utilizing reasoning about comparison, causation, and continuity and change. The course
also provides eight themes that students explore throughout the course in order to make
connections among historical developments in different times and places: American and
national identity; work, exchange, and technology; geography and the environment; migration
and settlement; politics and power; America in the world; American and regional culture; and
social structures.

Class Information
AP U.S History is designed to be the equivalent of an introductory college or university survey of American history. While AP U.S History is a high school class, students are expected to treat it as it were a college class.
There are no prerequisites for AP U.S History. Students should be able to read a college-level textbook and write grammatically correct, complete sentences.
Students are expected to join and be active in both Google Classroom and AP Classroom.
This class can be quite challenging and I have high expectations, but hard work and dedication are rewarded.
