Review for AP Exam

 

 

·        If we can stick to this schedule, we will have time for review at the end and not require any additional sessions during winter/spring break.

·        It is up to you to keep up with the reading as we will not have the time to go over every item in the book.

·        Factor into this schedule essays & DBQs

·        I expect some side-tracking in class, but it MUST be kept to a minimum.

·        If anyone continually interrupts class it hurts EVERYONE and will not be tolerated.
