This week we will be focusing on research papers and making up any missing work. Remember, your research papers are due on May 23rd and are worth 200 points. Please make sure that you get these papers turned in to me on the due date. You can also turn them in before that date if you wish. We do not have the grades for the EOC yet, but we are waiting patiently. You may view your grade on IC right now, but know that the research paper will not be included until May 23rd. Then, your EOC will be averaged in with the rest of your nine weeks’ grades and your semester grade.
Hang in there and keep working hard!
Important Items for the APUSH exam
This is a list of items that you may neglect to study, but should really pay attention to when you are reviewing for your test because you can be sure that the writers of the exam will. The best thing to do would be to study this list, see how many you know and look up any that you do not know, concentrating on those. Do NOT substitute this as a study guide and only study this. You will still need to know basic concepts and study your notes.
