AP United States History

Essential Questions What is History? Where should the story of U.S. History begin? How do we evaluate the importance of events and people in history? What are the themes of this course?

With a partner, use the text book to investigate the importance of the following dates: 1491 1492 1517 1588 1607 Using this information, explore possible answers to the question “Where should a course in U.S. history begin?”

Read the essay “Where does US History begin.” Summarize the points the author makes.

Theme 1: American and National Identity The emphasis of this theme is the formation of American national identity and values. How and why did each of these concepts develop in the way that they did? You must be able to explain how cultures, identities and values have been preserved or changed throughout different time periods of US History. Gender, race, class and ethnicity all play a role in this theme, so make sure you pay attention to these subgroups.

Theme 2: Politics and Power The focus of this theme is on how varying social and political groups influence society and government in the United States. How have political beliefs and institutions shifted over time? Think also about why changes have taken place and what concept was catalyst to each change.

Theme 3: Work, Exchange and Technology This theme focuses on factors that led to development of systems and economic exchange. What role did technology, economic markets and government play in this development? How did this shape the development of American economies? You must be able to discuss ways in which labor systems, advances in technology and government policies help shape American society.

Theme 4: Culture and Society This theme looks at the social aspects that led to the cultural shaping of the US. What ideas, beliefs and customs change the way we view ourselves as a nation? What cultures and values have prevailed or were modified? Consider each of these ideas across different contexts of US History.

Theme 5: Migration and Settlement The focal point of this theme is how and why various people moved to and within the US. How were these people transformed by their new social and physical environments? How and why have they adapted? Think about how both newcomers and natives transform the US with their beliefs, traditions and ideas.

Theme 6: Geography and the Environment This theme takes a look at geography across the United States. How have natural and human-made environments helped shape US social and political developments throughout history? Think about the historical contexts of environmental interactions such as preservation, exploitation and management.

Theme 7: America in the World This theme focuses on the interactions between nations around the world, and what role they play in North American history. Specifically study the colonial period for this one! Also look at the influence the United States has on world affairs, both in the past and currently.
