Today's class was spent reading the article, "Black People in a White People's Country."  The article questions are due on Friday.

I also updated the calendar for the next couple of weeks so you can see where things are headed.  Upcoming reading homework is included below.  These are the pages you will have done when you enter class on the given day.

Thursday - 84-89
Friday - Article & Questions Done
Monday - Chapter 5 finished
​

Class time today was spent taking the Chapters 1-3 test with remaining time to work on tonight's reading.  The assigned pages are 62-69 (you may skip 65-67, an article next week will get in depth on those topics).

The tests have been graded and we'll go over the tomorrow.  The high score was 62/63 which is extremely impressive.  After that, the next highest score was a 57 (of which there were 3).  So the test will likely go in as a 57 point assessment.  See you tomorrow.

Class time today was spent reviewing for tomorrow's test. The review guide is included below.

Class time today was spend discussing the article, "From these Beginnings."  Remember that you need to finish Chapter 3 tonight.  Tomorrow we will review for Thursday's test. 

Today we had a type 2 writing over the end of Chapter 1.  We then spent the majority of class on a group chapter outline activity.  The idea was to get an idea of what type of notes might be helpful while reading and also to review Chapter 1.  Assigned reading for tonight is p. 25-29.  See you tomorrow.

Today in class we had a type 2 over last night's reading and then talked about the historical skill of Periodization.  Specifically, we discussed the significance of the College Board selecting 1491 as the starting point of Period 1.  We then read a primary source expressing the harsh view on Native Americans held by some Spaniards.  Tomorrow we will read a second source and compare the two.

Tonight's reading homework is pages 11-15.  See you tomorrow.

This site will be used throughout the year to help you stay up to date in AP U.S. History.  I look forward to a rigorous yet fun year!
