This summer assignment has four parts.  \n1) You are to read Carl Becker’s “Everyman His Own Historian,” a speech he delivered as the president of the American Historical Association. The speech can be found online at:  \n[www.](www.historians.org/info/aha_history/clbecker.htm)[historians](www.historians.org/info/aha_history/clbecker.htm)[.org/info/aha_](www.historians.org/info/aha_history/clbecker.htm)[history](www.historians.org/info/aha_history/clbecker.htm)[/clbecker.htm](www.historians.org/info/aha_history/clbecker.htm)  \nThe speech is also found via the link from Wikipedia’s “Carl L. Becker”:  \nYou are to answer the following questions about doing history:  \n1. Why does Becker say that we can never be sure of the past?  \n2. What is the only way, according to Becker, to test the past?  \n3. What two histories are there, according to Becker? What is Becker’s point?  \n4. What place does anticipation of the future have in the writing of history?  \n5. What does Becker mean by saying it is impossible to divorce history from life?  \n6. Why do you think Becker says history changes from generation to generation?  \n7. Why is it more important for history to be useful than true, according to Becker?  \n8. By what are all historians limited?  \n9. What is the illusion of present day historians?  \n10. Why can man and the world be understood only tentatively? Do you agree with Becker? Why?  \n2) Read the first chapter of Kennedy’s The American Pageant, 15th edition, Ch. 1 “New World Beginnings.” or, read [online at](online at www.americanyawp.com/text)[ ](online at www.americanyawp.com/text)[www.americanyawp.com/text](online at www.americanyawp.com/text), 1. The New World and 2. Colliding Cultures  \n3) Fill in the Pre-Columbian Indian Chart. If you Google “Comparison Chart Native American Tribes” or “Native American Charts” or “Native American Comparison Charts” you will get lots of information.  \n4) Fill in the chart “European Colonization of the Americas.” The information is found on You Tube under Tom Richey APUSH Review Playlist. Watch these episodes: “Spanish Colonization of the Americas,” “ French Colonization of the Americas,” “ New Netherlands,”“English Colonization of the Americas.” Your quiz will be to fill this chart out by memory on first day of class.  \nThere will be three quizzes upon your return from summer break: 1) “Every Man His Own Historian” ,2) regional differences between Native Americans, and on “European Colonization of the Americas.”  \nAd Majorem Dei Gloriam!
