Week of April 25th.........

Well....it has arrived!  Our very last chapter test!  Starting Tuesday, we will be conducting intense review of all materials from the beginning to present-day.  Just a reminder that this weekend (Sunday, May 1st at 9:00am) we will be conducting a practice written exam.  This will include all three essays (DBQ, CCOT and C+C) in a time period (2 hours) that is true to the actual testing period.  Remember, this session is optional but highly recommended if you are taking the AP Exam.  Starting on Monday (May 2nd), I will have previous tests in packets that can be viewed before, during and after school during the week in preparation for the final exam on May 10th.  We will also have some time a couple days leading to the exam to look over these previous tests for our review.
