Welcome to our AP US class blog! We will cover the inception of the United States, the building of this nation by founding fathers and mothers, and the trials, tribulations and triumphs leading Americans up to present day. Our blog will serve to keep us up to date on assignments, as a forum for survey and discussion, and as a launching pad to the rest of the web which will help aid our research as historians. Enjoy!

Due Upon Return from Spring Break

Work on those flash cards! Plenty of dates left and time to proves that you are a master of events of precise historical meaning.

In addition, check out your final recitation for the year: In Flanders Fields (due Saturday by lunch).

For Wednesday, April 3rd, I recommend that you do a little review before we get right into WWI. In your AMSCO AP prep book (stars and stripes on the cover), please read starting on page 430 with "Political Reform in the Nation" through the top of 436. Take a few notes- this will help you brush up on Roosevelt, Taft & Wilson.

Finally, check out this PBS article "Theodore Roosevelt and the Panama Canal" (you don't need to print it out, but do read closely as we will discuss). Think back to what you learned about the Teller & Platt amendments, and the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. How might your characterize American diplomacy during this era?

Fun fact: How the Bull Moose Party got its name.
