Guidelines for Chapter One-Pagers AP US History
This exercise is simply a response to your reading that should help you organize information from each chapter and clarify your understanding of the key ideas presented in the textbook. These will be helpful study guides for exams and for the AP exam, so hold on to them throughout the year. These are designed to be brief and spark your critical thinking skills.
Formatting Expectations: Handwritten – no typed one pagers will be accepted. Ink – blue or black, please. Pencil will not stand the test of time, and all AP exams are
written in ink. Notebook – Must be attached/written in notebook. No loose-leaf one pagers will be
accepted. Name must be on or in notebook. Length – a one-pager means one page…front and back. Title – chapter number and title must be written at the top of each one-pager.
Grading: One-pagers will be checked at the beginning of the period on quiz days. One-pagers will be graded and stamped at that time. Students who have not met the
expectations for the one-pager and/or do not have it with them will not receive credit. One-pagers not completed by the due date (beginning of the period on quiz days) can be
made up for partial credit during available tutorial times. Late one-pagers completed outside of tutorial times will not be accepted.
One-pagers will be entered into the gradebook as a summative assessment (major grade) at the end of the period of study (exam day).
Content Expectations: Title: The chapter number and title Main Ideas: Using the red and blue headers provided within the chapters, summarize
(not plagiarize) in your own words the main ideas of each section. These must be written in complete sentences – no bullet points or fragments allowed. Be sure that these are ideas, not simply facts. For example, “George Washington was the first president” is not a main idea. Below each main idea, list and highlight two to three examples that are connected/related to the main idea.
Objectives: List the three objectives (BAGPIPE) you found most evident/important in the chapter. For each one, explain why you chose it and provide some support and evidence from the chapter. These can be brief and connect to your main ideas.
Historical Tweet/50 Word Statement: Create a tweet with a hashtag to provide a concise, clear overview of the chapter you just read. Your response should be NO MORE than 50 words. Easy, right? This will help you write with more clarity and improve your ability to GET TO THE POINT.
