1238 Advanced Placement United States History
Grade 10-12: 1 Credit Advanced Placement
What does it mean to be an American? To what extent is America a land of opportunity? How can an individual make history?
Students will focus on a combination of themes, historical thinking skills, and eras. By weaving themes, eras, and skills into a very challenging but supportive curriculum, students will practice critical thinking, analyze evidence and interpretations presented in historical scholarship and interpret a wide variety of primary and secondary sources. After taking the AP exam in May, students will conduct original historical research to produce a National History Day project.
