4/21 and 4/22 3rd and 4th Period APWH

We filled out our AP packets in class today.  We took notes on the rest of Chapter 28.  The video for the second half of chapter 28 will be posted below so if you need to watch it to finish the notes you can (ignore the class periods I mention in the video because the video was made last year).  Students were given a definition sheet for Chapter 29 that needs to be completed before next class for a HW grade.

4/19 and 4/20 3rd and 4th Period APWH

I collected def. from chapters 26 and 27 for a HW grade.  Students took notes on the first half of Chapter 28 (WWI) in class.  We will finish WWI next class, read second half of chapter 28 before next class.

*4th Period add this to the end of your notes from today.
1. Civil War in Russia lasted 3 years longer than WWI, in 1922 USSR was created.
2. In 1923 Lenin introduced the New Economic Policy (NEP) in which he relaxed government control and allowed some free market just to get the economy going, then the government would take back over.  The long term plan was to make an industrialized nation with no private ownership.
3.  After Lenin died in 1924 Stalin took over.

***The TEST for chapters 28 and 29 will be Friday 4/29 for 3rd period and Monday 5/2 for 4th period***

AP Mock Exam

Coach Dragone and I would like to hold an AP Mock Exam on Saturday April 30th from 8am-11am in CafĂ© 3 at Menchville.  We have had great success with this the last 5 years.  The students have always said it really helped them with practicing time management for the actual AP Exam.  If a student can't make it, it would be helpful if we had a note explaining why, even if the note says "I don't have to explain why, but my kid is not coming."  We are trying to avoid giving up our personal time on a Saturday if the majority of the students aren't going to take advantage of this opportunity.  Again this is not mandatory but we would love to have a note if they can't make, that ensures you as the parent knew about it and elected for them to not participate.  This exam is an actual AP exam from several years ago so it is as close to the real thing as we can get.

4/15 and 4/18 3rd and 4th Period APWH

We played a definition game for chapters 26 and 27 today in class.  Then we started notes on Chapter 28.  Chapter 26 and 27 definitions are due next class for a grade.
