Dear (hopeful) Advanced Placement United States History Students:
Congratulations on the successes of the school year now coming to a close. At this point, worrying
about next year isn’t likely to be high on your list of priorities. I don’t blame you a bit. That being said, I
have some important information to convey:
One of the interesting challenges associated with the United States Advanced Placement program is
the amount of material we are expected to cover and the amount of time in which to do it. Simply put,
we are expected to cover forty (40) chapters in approximately thirty-three (33) weeks. The entire school
year is only 36 weeks, so this letter is to help you understand the need for commitment, the high
academic standard associated with the course and, how fast we will cover material.
As preparation, you will be expected to do a few things over the summer to make the process a little
more doable. I fully understand the dynamics of holding you accountable for things prior to the school
year beginning, but simply offer this advice, the better prepared you are, the greater chance of
success once we officially get under way.
th
You will need to check out the text (American Pageant 14 edition), it will be available via the
library or through the secretaries in the main office. Each student is expected to go through
Chapters 1-6 in the text so as to fill comfortable with the material. You will be held accountable
for that material and it is expected you will complete the following items:
1)
Become familiar with the attached (in packet) vocabulary words pertinent to
this time period. Nothing will be turned in, but a quiz-test will be given in the
first week to assess your knowledge of these materials.
2)
Complete the accompanying Chapters 1-6 exam, ready to hand it in on the first
day of school. (It is available at the end of this letter.) Feel free to treat it as a
worksheet more than a test. That means you can use your books and friends.
(Yes, you can even find them via Google.) Past experience has demonstrated
that simply getting the work from someone else does not adequately prepare
for the class.
3)
Essays are a big part of the AP curriculum. To that, also bring with you a
complete essay (typed) to the following prompt:
In what ways did ideas, and values held by Puritans influence the political,
economic, and social developments of New England colonies from 1630
through the 1660s?
Length of the essay should be what you could write in a 40 minute window
assuming you already knew the information—that should put it in the
neighborhood of 2 to 3 pages.
4)
As you read, particularly chapters 1-5, look for patterns or themes. From those
chapters, pick three specific themes and provide five specific pieces of
evidence or support of those themes.
Example of a theme: Importance of education. In colonial New England, the
development of schools and universities was very much valued. Evidenced by
the creation of schools like Harvard (est. 1636) and Yale (est. 1701), etc. Other
evidence of education’s importance is conversations had in the book of the
establishment of youth schools for the training of religious clergy. As you read,
the book makes it clear education was much more a part of the lives of those
living in colonial New England than it was in other parts of the colonies.
Theme packet is also due on the first day of class.

Last, but not least, you may have heard about the infamous presidents’ test.
Yes, you are expected to memorize the presidents, their political party, and the
years in office. Within the first month or so will be the first presidents’ test. This
is an all or nothing exam; meaning you get 100% or nothing. Don’t panic yet,
you will also have the opportunity of taking the test over again if you don’t pass
the first time. (I will explain details in class) Listed below is the presidents’ list

In addition to your text, listed below are websites very helpful in learning about the AP program and
specifically AP U.S. History.

Now that I have prompted you all to drop the class, let me back up by saying that is not necessary. I
simply hope you will realize this course is designed to be college level and you need to make a
commitment to work hard. On the other hand if that doesn’t sound like something you are willing to
do, it might be time to reevaluate why you are taking a college level course. You can receive concurrent
credit (3 college credits) for the course as well as up to five (5) more college credits depending on your
level of success on the AP test.
I love teaching AP U.S. History for a lot of reasons, one of which, is the quality of student in the class. I
am looking forward to another great year. If you have any questions regarding the course and/or
related expectations, please feel free to come see me, or send me an email.
Sincerely,
Gary Miner
