Wiki wiki! Mr. Knight

Quick reference to studying for the multiple choice section:


 * Brinkley's American History** (your textbook) multiple choice questions (each edition has a different set of 25 questions):
 * 12th Edition:** []
 * 11th Edition:** (your edition) []

I'm even more ENTHUSIASTIC about having access to the **American Pageant** (your Honors text) multiple choice questions online. The first dozen questions are core concepts asked in a true/false. Then the multiple choice questions are probably the highest quality of the three resources I have given you. Make sure to work this into your self-quizzing regular routine! []

 * Online APUSH DBQs & FRQs** - Regular and **FORM B**, with grading: []


 * Plan ahead!

Don't go away over Spring vacation! You will have only one last week after the break before the AP exam on Friday. Many of you will have another AP exam earlier in the week! I will provide you with several MONSTER PACKETS to guide your intensive last-chance studying.

The class of 2008 had a collective study party over Spring vacation. Here was how they felt:

Notice the AP flash cards, highlighted Amscos, and essential supplies - the Cars movie, water, goldfish...

** Notice the last-chance review packet (one of 4), and the bulging AP binder...

The happy, stress-free faces...

And the gallows humor:

You will be stressed. But the more you study now, and throughout the course, the better you will feel as the test approaches.

http://knighttime.wikispaces.com/01EarlyColonialSettlement http://knighttime.wikispaces.com/02transplantations// What is a Wiki? Think of a WIki like a web page that can be edited like a word document. Our class is going to be using Wikis frequently for group authoring of review sheets. Anyone can view our pages, but only members of our wiki (students from the course) will be able to edit the pages. As administrator, I receive information about exactly what content each students adds or changes, and web-based homework assignments will be graded accordingly. Never plaigarize. Always be respectful and contribute positively. We're all working together //to rise above the tide.//
