Group Jigsaw Assignment - Resources

Hello, APUSHers:

When we return from break, we will have some serious ground to cover, and a lot of hard work.  We have a serious challenge coming up, in the way of a 100 question exam, tentatively scheduled for January 13th.

Listed below are some of the resources that you will need to have in order to complete these assignments.

American Pageant - Chapter Summaries.   It would be a good idea for you to print out the summaries, so you can highlight and outline them.   We will be working on chapters 17-22.  While you are only responsible for your team's chapter, it wouldn't be a bad idea to print them all.

American Pageant - Chapters 

GRQ's Chapter 17-22 - In Google Docs form.

Details to follow shortly regarding teams, and assignments.  Good luck!

Winter Break - On Time Bonus!

Hello, APUSHers:

Here's the breakdown on the assignments.

If you hand EVERYTHING on Tuesday - You will receive a 10 point bonus.  In other words, an 80 becomes a 90 (a B becomes an A)

If you hand Everything in on Wednesday - You will receive a 5 point bonus

Thursday - 2.5 point bonus

Friday - No bonus, but no points taken away either!

HW 12/21: The Unfinished Nation - Master and Slave

Hello, APUSHers:

Here is the video we viewed in class today.  Review it, and answer the questions that follow on the worksheet.   You may complete the questions directly on the worksheet if you choose to do so.  Please note that this assignment will be collected at the start of class on Thursday, and graded.

Please note that you should utilize outside sources, other than the video, to help you complete the assignment.  The presentation, as well as your GRQ's, ID's, and outline notes should come in very handy.

In addition, if you haven't the Ch. 16 "Green Book" Assignment, or you haven't finished the Chapter 16 GRQ's, you must complete them!  Here is a link to the post with the links for those assignments.  Each assignment is worth two grade points.

APUSH Winter Break Assignment 2011

Hello, APUSHers:

While I am well aware of the upcoming break, nonetheless, we must forge onward in our quest.

Here are your break assignment(s). Please note that I am not expecting you to finish this in one day. I have given you the assignment with more than two weeks to complete it. It is more than ample time to complete the entire assignment.

Furthermore, I am hopeful that by this time you have created study groups, and are utilizing the people in class to help you work through the material. Above that, I would also suggest using this link to post information, and really cooperate! Additionally, you should make use of the Facebook page to coordinate information.

Please note that all assignments will be turned in on the day we return from winter recess, as you enter the class for second period. Please staple all of the written work together, or place it in a folder.

As previously stated, unless you are legally absent from school, late work will not be accepted. "Technical Issues" are no longer acceptable excuses for the failure to complete assignments.

It should be further noted that each assignment is weighted, and will count towards your second semester GPA.

Assignment #1: Weight 2.25 Points Listen to the following Lectures. You are expected to complete a thorough and detailed podcast/lecture sheet for each lecture. Each lecture summary should be the equivalent of a handwritten page of text.

Here are the lectures:
Manifest Destiny

The Approaching War

Secession

The Civil War

Abolition of Slavery

Ramifications of the Civil War

Presidential Reconstruction Plans

The End of Reconstruction

Assignment #2 - Key Terms: Weight 2.25 points. Based on the lectures, complete the list of Key Terms
