DBQ and Synthesis

I thought this article might be interesting for those who have already taken AP US History.

Last Rhetorical Terms

These are some terms either very obscure or simply not covered over the course of the semester. Have a look if you weren't in class this week.

Study?

It'd be a good idea to know 98% of the terms on this list. We've covered all of them. In addition, see the extra special terms for our 70 question MC exam.

MIAP

For those of you that are Missing in AP Exams or are MIAP, make sure you follow up on missed classes.

Of particular importance is our class Wednesday and Thursday. These will be review days for the AP exam and for the AP 70 question multipe choice exam.

Reminder: Multiple Choice exam, 70 questions, summative is on Friday or Monday, depending on your section.  If you will not be in class for whatever reason, you need to email me about it. If not, it counts as missing an exam day. This is a key practice exercise for test day. After 70 questions, 55 will feel like a breeze.

The Tempest Performance

While Seniors will be on an exam scheduele, in order to have everyone present, we will meet on May 20th at 2:15pm in the theater. Every group will have a chance to present. We should be finished at 4pm the latest. I will announce the day, as soon as I have a date. This will be a summative assessment. And our class´s send-off for the 12th-graders.

Be aware you will also be graded on your participation as an audience member.

Exemplar Hot Topic Blog

I wanted to share with you Mateo´s blog, as it does a great job summarizing, then evaluating various positions on one topic.



Take a look.

Also, check out "In the Mind of an Adolescent" for a great hot topic blog on organ donations.
