Advanced Placement/Dual Credit U.S. History Summer Assignment
Book Analysis for THE AMERICAN COLONIES. By Alan Taylor
Directions: Students are to carefully read the book by Alan Taylor. Each chapter will have a set of questions/list of topics for which short answer responses will be asked to probe for understanding. Each student currently enrolled in either Advanced Placement or Dual Credit U.S. History is receiving a hard copy of this assignment. Additionally, the assignment may be found on the websites of both Mrs. Shaunfield (Advanced Placement) and Ms. Duke (Dual Credit). Since this assignment is done in MICROSOFT WORD, the student need only to load the file on the computer and then bring it up on the computer screen where they can provide answers in paragraph or bulleted form based upon what is asked for in the question. If preferred the student may answer by hand. The goal is not to fish for a specific answer(s), but to ask the student probing questions for a critical understanding of what the questions are asking. Short analytical quotes are permissible; however, we do not want the student to copy the material directly from Taylor’s book. It should be written in the student’s own voice as a summary of understanding. A reader could expect the student to make three to five points on each topic listed here below.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
There are approximately 10 weeks in the summer. There are 19 chapters in the book. Students should strive to complete two chapters per week.
DO NOT WAIT until the last minute for this assignment. It will be impossible to complete in a short amount of time.
Quizzes and a major grade assignment in the beginning week of school will be based on this reading.
Books are available for purchase at Barnes and Noble in the Woodlands (about 50 but they can order more). They may also be ordered through Borders or purchased on-line at Amazon.com.
