Assignments for April 12-20 2010

Apologies for not updating this blog as quickly as I needed to last week.  When in doubt about an assignment,  alway ask me.  If confusion is general, I will change a due date.  Please note:  At this point in the game, you need to TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO REVIEW AND FOLLOW ALL REVIEW GUIDELINES IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE YOUR AP PERFORMANCE.   What does this mean?  Keep up with your reading, do all optional review assignments, and see me weekly at my review sessions.   DO NOT TRY TO CRAM FROM REVIEW BOOKS INDISCRIMINATELY.  Review certain themes and do practice questions the way we do them in class.  Please see my AP site link for practice exam materials.  If you cannot come to ask exam questions on your review evening, feel free to come Monday through Wednesdays to ask any exam related question.  Just remember, I can lead you to water, but I cannot make you drink.  You need to look at your schedules and decide how much time per week you need to review for the AP exam.  All review sessions will take place in the classroom where we normally have class.  11A for  World History and European History,  12A for Art History.  I can stay as late as 6:00 p.m. for anyone wanting extra review on any review night.
