A.P. U.S. History

February 11-14, 2008

Industrial America

 

1. Read:  Read chapter 20 and complete the study guide.  Take notes on the chapter—study and learn its contents.  Take the online quiz for chapter 20.  (Due February 21).

 

2.  Something Lovely and More:  Read Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: A Slave.  Write a response essay in which you explain the subject of the book, the author’s purpose and method, and treat some of his major themes.  (At least 750 words, due February 21).

 

3.  Test:  You will be taking home a test next week on chapters 17-20. 

 

4.  Something More: Those of you who read Paul Johnson’s book this summer would do well to return to his lucid pages and read his section on industrial America.  He gives clear and thorough coverage to the years and issues of 1860-1900.
