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.

Biography Paper


1.    Obtain a biography of anyone who was born after 1500CE.  Clear your choice with Coach Chappell by May 2nd or 3rd for a HW grade.

  1. Paper must be 3-4 pages long. 12 point font Times New Roman. Double spaced. Your cover page and bibliography page don’t not count in total page count. So a three page paper will end up being 5 pages total with a cover page and bibliography.

  5. I am willing and able to stay after school to help, as you are working on your research papers, just ask!
