AP US History (APUSH) Summer Assignment, 45 points

Summer E-Mail assignment, 5

E-mail me and introduce yourself by an e-mail two weeks before the first day of school. Tell me things like what name you prefer to be called, sports and extracurricular events you participate in, job if you work, what you do in your free time, who your favorite President was in US history, and what your favorite subject is to study in US history.

Vocabulary: Please use a dictionary or on-line resource to define the following list of words. I imagine doing this assignment on-line would be much less time consuming. When you define a word, you need to do three things:

1. List the part of speech

2. The definition of the word (If there are multiple definitions to a word, pick the one that seems most relevant to this course.)

3. Use the word intelligently in a history related sentence

For a few select set of words grouped together, like race and ethnicity, you do not have to do the three steps above. Rather you only need to only explain the difference between the words.

All vocabulary words must be numbered

Example: 4. Era: 1. noun 2. Aperiodoftimeinwhichaneworderofideasprevails; astageofhistory; anepoch. 3. American history is so long and complex that it is divided into eras, like Colonial and Revolutionary.

Or: 46. Suffrage vs. disfranchisement: Suffrage means to grant the right to vote, while the other means to prevent voting rights

*There will be a vocabulary quiz on these terms the 2ndor 3rd day of school so make sure you learnand understand these words when you do this assignment.
