AP U.S. History
2015-2016 Review Packet
Starting in mid April we will begin reviewing in class for the AP exam. To help you dedicate time to studying and be prepared for the APUSH Exam,
I am requiring you to complete the following review packet, and turn it in on or before May 6. While I realize you are juggling a lot of different
assignments, trying to complete a couple units each week is in your best interest.
Directions
1. Timeline- For each unit, fill in 5-8 significant events (e.g. Civil War, Revolutionary War, Constitution) during that era on the timeline. Within
each unit, label the Presidential terms—remember terms typically begin in odd numbered years. Label any events from the list of terms.
2. Terms- For each unit, choose at least 8 of the terms you do not already know and define them in this packet, on notecards, or on a separate
sheet of paper. Please identify which unit each set of terms belongs to. You are still responsible for all the terms for the unit, but should focus
on the ones you don’t know.
3. Themes- Based on the timeline, your terms, and your notes for the unit, identify 1 political/diplomatic, 1 social, and 1 economic theme for
each unit. The theme should be a general, big picture statement that describes that era. For example it may describe a change or shift that is
happening (e.g. expansion of the role of government), a conflict or tension that is prominent (e.g. sectional tension, tension between
modernism and traditionalism), a description or characterization (e.g. conservative, liberal, conformity, seeking change)
For example, for Unit 4, the Political Theme might read as follows:
During the Jacksonian era, society became increasingly democratic with the expansion of voting rights, as well as the growing
involvement of the public in politics and reforms.
4. Free Response Question- For each unit, choose 1 Essay Question, and very briefly outline your answer by brainstorming 6 pieces of SFI
you would use to support your answer, and then write a thesis statement.
