AP United States History is available to those students who are interested in a more in-depth course in the historical development of America from Colonial times to the present. Students will work with more complex materials and at a quicker pace than in a standard high school class. Course work will be geared toward developing and practicing skills that are required at the college level. Students will learn to locate relevant and trustworthy sources and how to organize evidence to support their arguments. Focus will be placed on cause and effect relationships as well as the climate in which opinions were formed and decisions made as historical events and issues are explored. Both primary and secondary sources will be used.
