AP US History requires enrichment to be completed for the third trimester BEFORE you can complete any extra credit enrichment.
The books available for extra credit enrichment are considered alternate histories. They present a what-if scenario at a critical time in America History. The stories can include an sci-fi element, or change one pivotal event.

Seventh Son AND The Red Prophet by Orson Scott Card
The Year of the Hangman by Gary Blackwood
How Few Remain (Southern Victory) by Harry Turtledove

To receive credit for enrichment, turn in a written (typed, double-spaced, 12 point type, no odd fonts) review of the book before the last week of the Trimester. Most of your review MUST examine how the book measures up to what we have learned in class, why that moment in history was chosen, and your analysis of whether this situation could really happen.
