APUSH+Summer+2012

Greetings! Hopefully you found this website without much hassle. Your first step is to sign up with wikispaces (create a username that is indentifiable). After becoming a member, you now have the power to edit pages with information (for now, the only unlocked pages are Ch 1-4). Please go to each page for the individual chapters. Your summer assignment is two fold. If you have any questions along the way, and cannot figure it out on your own, please email me. thaddeus.fennig@calvaryschools.org or tfennig@mycceagles.org (will be checked more frequently).

You will have a test covering chapters 1-5 on day 2.

 * 1) You must read each chapter and answer the prompt on the wiki for each chapter (APUSH Ch 1, Ch 2, etc). Read the question on the appropriate wiki and when you are ready to respond, click "Discussion" tab and start a new discussion with your answer. You must not only create your own answer, but also comment on at least one student's answer for each prompt.
 * 2) When you return to school you will submit the five packets of questions* to be graded for accuracy. On the second day of school, you will be given a multiple choice exam covering the first four chapters of material.
 * 3) You may find them on the individual chapter pages in .pdf format. Download them, print them, and answer them.

You will receive a grade in the ESSAY category for your responses to the five prompts throughout the summer (as well as your responses to other students). You will receive a grade in the QUIZ category for your HW Packets that will be turned in one the first day of school. You will receive a grade in the TEST category for your performance on the MC Exam covering Chapters 1-5.

Because the APUSH Ch 1, Ch 2, etc. wikis are "open source" you may edit information on them. When you are reading, you may choose to put some information up there for all to gain. Be sure to not post answers to the HW packet or your opinion on certain issues, but only objective information from the text or other credible sources (I have given an example on APUSH Ch 1 wiki of information that you may add). If you are found guilty of tampering with the wikis for this class in an unprofessional manner, you will be subject to disciplinary procedures.


 * NOTE: The homework packets are not AP caliber questions, but are a great tool to guide your reading through each chapter. You must complete these on your own.
