 * Summer Assignment AP US History**

Over the course of a year we have to study from the formation of the North American Continent all the way through current times. The summer assignment serves to give you an idea of the level of work which will be expected throughout the course of the year, as well as allows for us to cover more material in class. Although these chapters will be briefly reviewed we will begin our study of American history with the Revolutionary War.
