The Advanced Placement (A.P.) United States History class looks at U.S. History from approximately 1491 to the 21st century. Throughout the year we will try to achieve a balance between the study of historical facts and analysis of historical themes through the use of historical thinking skills.
We will strive to become well versed in America’s political, diplomatic, economic, social, and cultural history. We will also work to improve your ability to do analytical writing at the collegiate level. It cannot be overstressed that this is a college course. It will employ college-level texts and readings and move at a college pace. Students’ work ethic and perseverance must be of similar intensity.
Please use the resources on this site to support your learning; more importantly, please note that Ms. Medrano is available for office hours Mondays & Fridays at lunch, and always by email.
I believe in you. I will help you. YOU CAN DO THIS!
