Great job getting through the first quarter!! We have completed our review of ancient history and have introduced most of the components of the AP exam. Looking forward, we will now transition into the early modern period. Our first major writing assignment of the second quarter will be the document-based question. We will begin to talk about the various components of those essays this week, and the first essay will be due sometime next week.

Week of October 16th
Great job on the exams last week. I will hand these back on Monday and discuss them briefly. Thanks for the feedback you shared with me last Thursday. I feel really good about where we are with the process of ancient history review. Over the next week or week-and-a-half we will bring our review up to about 1450 and begin to transition into the modern period. Our pace will slow a bit and we will be going into greater depth with some of our subjects. I think this marks an important transition for us, and I hope you share my confidence in your abilities. I think we have already laid a substantial foundation of skill-sets around which we can build our body of knowledge.
Here are the assignments for the week. I know this is a lot of material to cover in one week, but that's the nature of review. Try to get through the reading before class, and assemble the id terms as you go as best you can. I will not collect them each day, but rather collect the entire set on Friday. I'll touch base with you as the week progresses and depending on how you're feeling we can push our schedule back if need be.
