Welcome to AP US HISTORY CLASS for the 2009-2010 school year

Hi everyone,

Welcome to AP United States History class...and to www.msrosenberg.com

Don't forget to have your parent/guardian read through the student agreement and sign it for homework tonight.

You will get the chapter reading from A People's History of the US tomorrow and HW#1 is to read the chapter and answer the following questions. DUE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14th

1. Write down the five most important things that Zinn says about Columbus and the two most important things about writing history (include pages #s)
2. Compare Columbus' log entries with Las Casas' entries.
3. If communities share common interests, did Columbus and Las Casas belong to the same community? If so, what are their common interests? What were the reasons for Columbus travels to the Caribbean? Las Casas? If not, what interests separated them into different communities? Did Las Casas have more in common with the Arawaks than he did with Columbus?
