1 AP United States Government & Politics Syllabus Syllabus The AP Government course will be taught as a second semester course with about twenty-four students. Students will enroll during the second semester and will meet every other day for eighty two minutes. The course relies primarily on the developmental lesson, daily homework, quizzes, multiple-choice and free-response questions. Teaching Strategies The course is evenly divided between lecture and Socratic seminar and some periodic guest speakers from local government officials. Students are responsible for keeping up with events in the news. Each class begins with a discussion of current events (public policy, international relations, etc.). The current events provide concrete connections for each lesson. The Deseret Morning News and The Salt Lake Tribune are delivered daily to our classroom. Course Overview/Description This course explores the political theory and everyday practice that direct the daily operation of our government and shape our public policies. The express purpose of this course is to prepare students to take the AP Exam for U.S. Government and Politics. The course is for all intents and purposes taught on a college level and it requires analysis of how our government works. Students will develop a critical understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the American political system, as well as their rights and responsibilities as citizens. Course Readings There are two required texts for this course: Edwards III, George C., et al. Government In America: people, politics, and policy. 12 th Edition. Pearson Longman, Woll, Peter, ed. Amercan Government: Readings and Cases. 16 th ed. New York: Pearson Longman, These readings will be supplemented with classroom handouts throughout the semester in addition to our classroom subscription to the Deseret Morning News and The Salt Lake Tribune. These two papers have historically had different viewpoints on many issues. Grading and Course Requirements Grades are figured on a cumulative point basis. Each test, quiz, homework assignment, etc., is worth a given number of points
2 according to the quality and level of completion of the work. At the end of a marking period, a grade average is determined by dividing the total points possible by points earned. The following are some of the assignments that will be graded according to competency: Tests, quizzes, public meeting attendance and essay, homework, current events, Woll reading reviews, analytical free-response questions, etc. Current Events Students are responsible for keeping up with the daily events in the nation and the world. Students will need to skim both daily Salt Lake papers, listen to NPR or another radio news program, watch a TV news station such as FOX News and/or CNN, or access a reliable online source. Using Graphs, Maps and Charts Students are tested on their understanding of quantitative and visually presented information (maps and graphs) at regular intervals in the quiz assignments.
