APUSH Regents Week TAKE HOME MID-TERM

Hello, APUSH'ers:

As you may be aware, next week begins Regents week for HS students.  To that end, HS classes will not be in session.

While classes may not be conducted, this is by no means a vacation.  There will be an assignment for this class during Regents week.

You will have a take-home midterm exam.  The exam will be structured exactly like a US History/Government Regents exam.  It will be based on the material we've covered from 1825-1865; from the age of Jackson to the Civil War.

You will be responsible for completing
1. Multiple Choice questions
2. Thematic Essay
3. DBQ Short Answers
4. DBQ Essay

Normally, you have three hours to complete this exam, in one sitting.  You will have from now, until Wednesday, January 30, to complete it.   Additionally, you have your notes, as well a host of materials on-line.  Look below to a link for some really good stuff!

All APUSH students will receive an email containing the materials for the exam.

You will be responsible for turning in
1. The multiple choice answer sheet (included in email)
2. The Thematic/DBQ Essay
3. The DBQ short answers.  You may elect to complete the DBQ's on looseleaf, or directly on the documents themselves.
4. Rubrics for both essays.

Please make sure all work is STAPLED, and SIGNED by a parent.

Good Luck.
