Welcome to our AP US class blog! We will cover the inception of the United States, the building of this nation by founding fathers and mothers, and the trials, tribulations and triumphs leading Americans up to present day. Our blog will serve to keep us up to date on assignments, as a forum for survey and discussion, and as a launching pad to the rest of the web which will help aid our research as historians. Enjoy!

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.
