Period 2 Map and Timeline
We're going to do our best to see what we know, what we don't know, and what nobody ever needs to know about the era 1607-1754.
Step 1: Map- We'll focus largely on grouping each of the 13 colonies into regions based on their social and economic makeup. We will also take a look at the proximity of the British colonies to French and Spanish empires as well as major American Indian societies.
Step 2: Timeline- Since we are dealing with a span of nearly 150 years, we are looking for turning points as well as first glimpses of ideas that become foundational elements of American democracy. We will also examine a few continuities throughout the era.

Our Original Example:
The Stamp Act, a tax on legal documents during the colonial era, united the colonies in protest against British policy.
Causation:
The Stamp Act, a tax on legal documents during the colonial era, caused the British North American colonies to unite in protest against British policy.
Comparison:
The Stamp Act, a tax on legal documents during the colonial era, caused the British North American colonies to unite in protest against British policy more so than previous legislation such as the Proclamation of 1763.
Continuity and Change Over Time:
The Stamp Act, a tax on legal documents during the colonial era, caused the British North American colonies to temporarily unite in protest against British policy as they wished to remain part of the British Empire.
Contextualization:
The Stamp Act, a tax on legal documents to recoup financial losses from the French and Indian War, caused the British North American colonies to unite in protest against British policy and eventually led them into the American Revolution.

Meeting of the Minds
We will do one of these in just about every unit to examine the major developments of each period from a number of different points of view. You will be asked to conduct research (and perhaps write a paper) about a figure from history's perspective on major events of the era. On the day before the test, we will hold a meeting to share and debate ideas.
For the first one, you will work with a partner. Selection of characters will be on a first come, first serve, beginning at 7:00 am tomorrow morning. There will be a sign-up sheet on Coach Jacobson's board. You must sign up in person.

LEQ Exercise
In this unit we will work on the following elements of writing an APUSH LEQ:
1A Prompt: Compare and contrast the development of labor systems in Spain’s North American colonies and Great Britain’s North American colonies in the time period before 1700. (Skill: Comparison)
3A Prompt: Compare and contrast the ways in which religion shaped the development of colonial society (to 1754) in TWO of the following regions. (Skill: Comparison)
3B Prompt: Although New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled largely by people of English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies. Why did this difference in development occur? (Skill: Comparison)
- Writing a thesis that makes a defensible claim and answers all parts of the question
- Providing specific, factual information (SFI) to support the claim
- Writing strong topic sentences

3A Prompt: Compare and contrast the ways in which religion shaped the development of colonial society (to 1754) in TWO of the following regions. (Skill: Comparison)
- New England
- Chesapeake
- Mid-Atlantic

The AP LEQ rubric scales from 0-6, so they will need to be converted to fit the 100 point scale. Grades will be determined as follows:
6: 95-102
5: 86-93
4: 77-84
3: 68-75
2: 59-66
1: 50-57
0: 0-40
Scores in the higher end of the range will be awarded for sophistication, while scores in the lower end of the range will be penalized for factual errors or significant grammatical errors.
