Cram Packets

Here are some great online resources for one last cram....
the basic version
the detailed version

Good Luck!

Today in class 4/27

Today we took notes on the Post 1875 Civil Rights movement.
Be prepared for a quiz on the Supreme Court cases sometime before the AP test. Flash cards are recommended.

Today in class Thursday 4/23

Today we took our 1-10 test, reviewed with our groups, and received a packet of important Supreme Court cases.
I'm re posting the reading guide below... keep on reading!

REVIEW READING PLAN

Here is a suggested guide to reading the review book (beneath is a list of testing dates). Spacing it out is important. If you try to read 3 chapters the day before they are due you will not retain as enough information. I know some of you are die hard fans of cramming, but that method only works when the test questions are directly based on a lesson/reading. The AP test questions and essays are not something for which you can cram. These questions require a synthesis of knowledge from many chapters that can only be found when we have a good, solid, deep memory of the information.

My best suggestion is to keep pace with the reading timeline. Bring you book with you to school everyday. You will be surprised by how man "nothing" minutes you have throughout the day. You don't have to finish a chapter in one sitting. The reading is divided into very short little sections and as long as you reach the end of a section, you're fine. Remember to highlight (see the guide below) and, most important, reread and double check you knowledge again post reading. If you pace with timeline and highlight, you can do the reread and double check the day of class.

Multiple encounters with information is the only way to learn this stuff. We've covered it once. Cramming will only get you one more encounter (totaling 2). Following my suggestions will get you four to five encounters. (our first lesson, reading the review book, thinking about what to highlight, skimming or better-rereading the highlighted parts, quizzing yourself).

Good Luck!

Suggested Reading Timeline:

Over Spring Break- CH 1 & 2

4/6- CH 3

4/8- CH 4

4/10- CH 5 & 6 *extended weekend

4/13-CH 7 & 8

4/15-CH 9 *so you won't need to read over prom weekend

4/21-CH 10

4/23-CH 11

4/27-CH 12 & 13

4/29-CH 14

5/1-CH 15

Set-In-Stone Test Dates:

4/8- anything up through chapter 3

4/15- anything up through chapter 7

4/23- anything up through chapter 10

5/1- anything up through chapter 14

In between the test dates, you can expect other assignments/essays/quizzes in class BUT the will only be on chapter you have already covered. For example, on 4/22 you can have an activity on anything through chapter 7 even though we should have read through 10 by that date.

Reminder

Follow the reading plan. Some of you are still operating in the "I'll do it before it is due" mindset. That is going to be a large reading assignment on Sunday night. S-P-A-C-E it out!

Pre Gridding

AP pre-gridding will occur on Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday in the Food Court.
The sessions are grouped alphabetically by last name.
You will receive a pass on Monday.
It is VERY important that you attend your scheduled session.

Today in class

Today we worked in our review groups. If you missed class, you'll want to either get with your group or come after school sometime this week. We also took our first test of the review sessions. If you missed the test, it must be made up before you can take the next test.
READ & HIGHLIGHT!

Today in class

Today we worked in our review groups. If you missed class, you'll want to either get with your group or come after school sometime this week.
Please keep up with the reading. When you get a free minute in other classes, pull out your book and skim you highlights. Remember, the more you cover it, the more likely you'll retain it.

Highlighting Guide

Pink- social or religious information

Blue- Laws and Bills and Treaties (and wars.)

Green- $ (tariffs or panics or recessions

Orange- People and 

Names

Yellow- general highlig

hting, extra info about another color

... never more than a few words at a time!

Remembering, highlighting a review book  is different than normal reading.  In a review book everything is important and you may be tempted to color whole sections.  Don't! Think about highlighting as making flash 

cards.  

I also like to write short notes or summaries in the margins.

examples: 

1.

2. 

3. 

4.

Review Book

Please begin to order your review books. We need them by the end of March and they often take a week or so to arrive. I cannot require you buy one (due to the budget freeze I cannot use our AP money to buy books for students in need). But, I highly recommend it. It is the best way to pass the AP test. Our assignments will be from the review book in the coming months but, if you elect not to buy one, the information is all in the Pageant book. (Just WAY more reading as compared to the review book.) I cannot stress the importance of this book if you want to pass the test. I still use my worn copy at home.

Please leave a comment on this blog when you order/buy/find one within the next 2 weeks. I need to know who is using the review book versus who is using Pageant in order to assign review groups.

The book is available through amazon.com. If you want to save on shipping, order together. An order of 2 books on Amazon will qualify for free shipping. Don't bother ordering used offline. By the time you pay shipping you're out more than a new book double ordered. BAM in Lakeside normally stocks one or two, but they quickly run out. Another option is to purchase the book from last year's students. (Don't let them con you...The book only costs $14 new, so don't pay anymore than $10.)

REA AP United States History~7th Edition~ by J.A. McDuffie
http://www.amazon.com/AP-United-States-History-REA/dp/0738602183


(The book pictured is the one to order. If it has a rainbow cover it is OLD. Like Ms. Weaver old. If it has a flag cover you've wasted your money on the $70 CD edition.)

Don't forget...

Test next class over the 1920's, the Great Depression, and the New Deal.

We read 32 & 33 and the beginning of 34. The rest of 34 was covered during our in class work on Tuesday.

Our notes on the 1920's

We additionally read 2 short pages on general life during the New Deal.

After school movie fun

Tuesday-Thursday this week I'll be running a 3 part movie in the room after school.  It is about Ellis Island.  It covers a broad time period so, while it won't give you any answers on the next test, it is a good piece for the AP test.

Stop in, bring some popcorn, and enjoy.

The fun starts promptly at 2.

Goodness

Ms. Weaver doesn't teach you all by merely printing out worksheets. She attempts to find (based on data/research) the best ways to get the information stuck in your brains while still keeping pace with the AP course. In the same way, she doesn't test you by merely printing out some random book-published test. She attempts to analyze the test to make sure there is a variety of difficulty present. Every test you take is analyzed before you even receive it. Ask, she'll show you. The tests have all the questions categorized according to Bloom's Taxonomy and then tallied. She even figures out the percentage of the various levels in each test.

Your midterm was created in the same fashion. Second Period's test was marginally simpler. But, only in accordance to the fewer days of studying the class received. In turn, Sixth Period's was marginally more difficult. The study guides were identical. The questions were just different phrasings and a different balance of the various Taxonomy levels. 2 students from Second tried their hand (with only a 1 day study time) at the Sixth test. The results were almost exactly the same.

Some of in Second have complained about the points added to Sixth Period's test. First, all students received 5 points for no other reason than Ms. Weaver is a softy. Sixth received 5 more due to construction that disrupted the test. Again with the dorkiness, Ms. Weaver reviewed her test analysis and calculated the approximate time the noise started in order to remove the higher level thinking questions made more difficult by the racket. If the question asked you to simply recall a fact, it stayed while those that required application of knowledge were waived.
