Please have your rough draft (aim for 3 pages minimum) printed out for class Monday. You will peer edit and I will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Bring your computers so that following the peer edit, you may make the revisions suggested to you.
I felt that as a class, you have picked really interesting topics and have developed some solid thesis statements- nice work! Keep it up!

Due Friday May 17th
Tomorrow, printed out, please bring your thesis statement and introduction to class.
If you are someone who works better independently with headphones, please feel free to bring them. I will have the classroom organized in such a way that your backs are to the front of the room and your computers are facing me. This is to help you stay on task. I will be spending time with each of you, reviewing your introductions/thesis statements and giving you suggestions.

Due Monday May 13th (or Tuesday)
You have received a take-home test labeled "AP Practice Exam #2". By the time of our review session Tuesday night, at 8 PM in our classroom, you should have shown me that you have completed 2 out of the 3 sections of the exam. This could mean any of the 3 following:
- Multiple Choice & DBQ.
- DBQ & Free Response (2 essays!).
- Multiple Choice & Free Response (2 essays!).
If you have thoroughly completed 2 of 3 sections of the practice exam, then I will award you a 20/20 quiz grade. If you do 1 section, you will earn 10/20. If hypothetically you complete the multiple choice section and only 1 free response essay, then you will earn 15/20. See how it works?
Those of you taking AP Bio, feel free to stop by Monday when you are done if you would like to see your first practice exam or need questions answered. I will be around! Good luck!
Remember:
- Thesis statements are MOST important. One sentence that can stand alone, answers the question and makes an assertion.
- No first person! No vague words like seems, appears, things, stuff, various etc.! Avoid cliches!
- Do NOT refer to documents in the manner of "In Document A...". Instead, introduce the document by author and title. Use parentheses (Doc A) following the quotation if you must clarify.
