Welcome APUSH'ers
Hello AP US History Students of the Summer 2014e,
Many of you are aware that something happened to the blog and posting was disabled. I only just was able to correct the problems with Google this weekend. I have a How to to help those who haven't posted anything, or just need to submit your final comment. Please do so as soon as you can. Deadlines will be extended to Tuesday, August 19th at 10 pm for all the Summer Blog deadlines.
You can access the Help Sheet by Clicking Here.
You need to post comments three different times for your Summer Reading.
Every time you post, you must include your first and last name-- every time you post (get the idea that your name is important?). Without a name, grades cannot be assigned. Keep in mind that we do not know you by name other than from the legal roster, please put any given names not used in parenthesis).
It is IMPORTANT that you use the username and password included in your Summer Reading packet. (username: mcapush2 password: historyrules)
Lauren Stander - Wag the Dog
For my summer reading assignment I chose the book Wag the Dog, which talks about a conspiracy story that is entirely plausible. It shows what lengths people have or could go to in order to achieve what they want in politics. As a member of the generation which often hears about Operation Desert Storm, it's interesting to see how incorrectly it's history is told. The author integrates facts into this fictional past where Operation Desert Storm was actually a ploy, set up by a movie dirrecter. This forces the reader to question what we are told really happened.
