free response skills.  I think you can manage the short answers with a good

knowledge base.  You may feel you know the elements of a DBQ and have to apply them.  So far....we all need to work on the Long Essay.  This requires

both a good understanding of the rubric and a good grasp of the periods, and the significant events, people, and concepts of this period.

Review your plan, post it where you can see it, follow a time schedule.  Study

when you get up in the morning for two hours...and find time later in the day....an hour here and there..............Good Luck!!

we have studies.

 

Print it out.  Come ready to share and compare.  Play some Presidents games online!!!!!!!!!!!1

Its time to get very serious about planning and beginning your study plan.  You will not succeed (3, 4, 5) unless you become invested in your own success.  The more you study for this test, the more confidence you will  have, and the more knowledge you will have----this will beget more interest in learning this subject material.

Check out these practice test resources:  Tests by Period

 

 

 

Go to Khan Academy; find APUSH; look at instructional videos; explore this resource as Val suggested.

 

Now, READ Ch. 39 and take notes only

What period will you start with?  What materials will you use?  How much will you study each day?  How will you evaluate what you are learning after you study each period?  Do you have a list of Presidents and their relevant events?  Supreme Court cases?

 

 

Annotate Chapter 38 using 5 Steps; then answer Applying:  #2,3,4,5

I am thinking that we should begin to review by Periods.  In other words, have a review test on each period, emphasizing recall of facts.  THis would improve your ability to bring in outside information and context to your essays as well.   You would study from a list of people, terms, events, timeline.   You should already have much of it in you Decades Papers.  There are several websites that provide comprehensive lists of the above.  We could begin next week.  We could create and complete a schedule to do so.  Perhaps we would have one period on Monday, and another test

on Thursday for the next three weeks.  We can discuss on  Friday.
