7 Some Final Words of Advice: 1. Enjoy your summer. These few assignments should not consume all of your free time this summer. Go to the movies, take a swim, or stroll the mall with your friends. You will wish for that free time during the school year! 2. Explore history. If you take a vacation, see if you can stop at an historical marker along the way. Or, do a little research about the place you are visiting. Take the time to start thinking historically. History is all around you if you allow yourself to see it! 3. Read. Try to read several books over the course of the summer. You will do a ton of reading in this class next year and if you are not in the habit of turning pages, it will be much more difficult to adjust. Read fiction, if that is your choice, but try picking up a historical book as well. There are some real page-turners about American history. Ask at the library or look on line to steer you in the right direction. 4. Write. Keep a journal for the summer, or try to write a short story. The more you write the easier it is to write well. You will do a lot of writing in this class. The more comfortable you are with writing the more successful you will be. 5. Become an informed citizen. Read the newspaper. Try to keep updated on the world s events. 6. Learn your geography. Geography is going to play an important part of this course. Do you know all 50 states? Learn them. Can you find the major mountain ranges of the US on a map? What about rivers, oceans and lakes? Memorize them! How about other continents: do you know the locations of countries in Latin America? Europe? Asia? The more you know about geography the farther ahead you will be. 7. Watch history movies! Do you really need to watch Ironman 3 again? Of course not! If you have a free evening try to watch something historical. Visit for suggestions, or type good history movie into Google and see what comes up! 8. Memorize the Presidents and their major accomplishments. This will help you prepare for the AP exam May, so you may as well get a jump start. Try to do them in blocks of 3: Washington, Adams, Jefferson (pause) Madison, Monroe, Adams 9. Explore your family history. Stuck for a conversation starter at dinner? Ask your elders what it was like growing up. Do they remember any significant events in American history? How were they affected? You ll be surprised how interesting people s lives really are. Enjoy your summer and get ready for a challenging and rewarding year in AP U.S. History! Ms. Owens & Mr. Wierzbicki
