The Summer Assignment is a required part of AP United States History at Staples High School. The essay of the assignment is due immediately upon return to school-on the first day of class. There are no excuses and no exceptions for late assignments: any assignments that are not turned in on the first day of school will be considered missing, and will count as a "zero" toward your first quarter grade.
You can see this assignment with all of the links at my website: http://shs.westport.k12.ct.us/mongirdas. Here you will be able to see Student Exemplars, Rubrics, etc. |

Step 2 |
|
Read your assigned book, Rise to Rebellion by Jeff Shaara. Please pick up your copy of the book at Mrs Evans' desk in the Social Studies office (2035). When we get back to school, you will be sharing your thesis, discussing the book you read, and teaching its themes to your classmates. However, you MAY NOT write in the book, unless you wish to buy it. ($7.99) § My suggestion is to get a post-it pad and make 1-2 notes per chapter about something relevant, significant or surprising.
