Part I: HIPPO
Choose a primary source document from a time period in U.S. history that most interests you. Analyze the document using the HIPPO strategy, which is outlined below.
What primary source did you choose?
Identify the author, title, format and date. Please include a link to your document, if possible.

INTENDED AUDIENCE. Identify a person or groups the author expects to inform or influence. *
POINT OF VIEW. Who is the author? How did the author's gender/race/economic status impact their written perspective? *
PURPOSE. Why did the author create the source? *
ORGANIZATION/USE IN AN ARGUMENT. Put together the first four and think about how this primary source could be used to support an argument. *
Hint: How could you use this document to develop the thesis of an essay?
Part II: Personal Motivation
I might not know your name, but I do need to know a little bit about you!

The questions below are NOT formal essays; they're an opportunity to show what makes you tick. Spelling and grammar are still important, though, so make sure you check everything before you click submit.
Why do you want to take AP U.S. History? *
Seriously, be honest. I need to know what motivates you.
Why do you think you should be accepted to take this course? *
Again, be honest. I want to know what you think your strengths are.
