Class introduction
AP Prep Class for AP United States History (APUSH) is a course that aims to help students review and master the content and course objectives outlined in the APUSH curriculum. The class will focus on several critical elements of the APUSH exam, including writing long essay questions (LEQ), document-based question essays (DBQs), and short answer questions (SAQs). Additionally, students will have the opportunity to practice their historical thinking skills by answering stimuli-based multiple-choice questions and through their written responses. The class will provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed on the APUSH exam and prepare them for college-level coursework.
Outcome
- Pass the AP United States History exam with an overall score of a 4 or higher (5=highest score)
- Increase their individual scores on the DBQ, SAQ, and LEQ writing portions of the final exam compared to their practice exam scores
- Increase their multiple choice question accuracy on the final exam compared to their practice exam scores
- Articulate a deeper comprehension of United States History through verbal and written reflections at the end of the course.
