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)

Erin Goad- The President Calling

 I chose to listen to President Lyndon Johnson's phone call to Jackie Kennedy, Richard Russell, and Robert McNamara. By listening to these phone calls, one is able to determine that Johnson was very influential. When talking to Russell, Johnson flat out told him that he was now part of the commission despite what he said to decline. After talking Johnson is able to convince Russell that he will do a good job based on the fact that he is an American. Another phone call to Jackie Kennedy shows Johnson skill in talking to people and interacting with them. To me, this is a very important quality in a president, to be able to speak to a crowd and make them believe you.
