Week of Sept. 18

This week we will begin to practice some skills that we need to develop for the AP exam. We will start with the two FRQ essays; the "comparative" and the "change-over-time." We will also start to compile a body of knowledge that we can draw from when preparing for the exam this spring. Please bring to class some kind of folder in which to collect this information. For now, just a simple paper folder will suffice. As our collection grows you may want to move up to something more intricate. Here are the reading and homework assignments for the week:
  • Monday, Sept. 19
    • Read: Strayer 24-29; Reilly 10-16
    • DUE: Reading question (1 type-written paragraph)

  • Wednesday, Sept. 21
    • Read: Strayer 29-32; Reilly 1-9
    • DUE: Comparative outline
