The above T-SHIRT is not the proposed shirt, but only to catch your attention 
This T-SHIRT order is OPTIONAL and voluntary.  However, students in both APUSH classes are interested in creating APUSH     T-SHIRTS for the end-of-the-year NATIONAL EXAM.   If interested, HYPERLINK on the BUTTON [above] and follow the directions on the FORM as well as from your selected peers putting this together.  
You will get the EOC#2 TEST on Monday, April 16th for  REINFORCEMENT of content for the EOC EXAM on April 18th.   The ANSWERS will appear on this WEBSITE tomorrow [4/16] after school.
EDLINE was updated Thursday, 12 April before I went on bereavement leave which I will be back on Tuesday, April 17th.  I apologize for the absence, but I had a death in my immediate family which required my absences.   However, I tried to provide quality, reinforcement material to help prepare the students for the EOC EXAM on Wednesday, April 18th.

Please continue to go over the GOOGLE CALENDAR for the up-to-date-schedule on HOMEWORK.   

Because of my absences, I pushed back all VOCABULARY QUIZZES [please note GOOGLE CALENDAR], by one session.  In other words, Monday's QUIZ is now Thursday's QUIZ, etc. 

Don't FORGET we needed the EOC CERTIFICATE turned in by APRIL 13th in order to take the EOC on APRIL 18th.  If you have forgotten, please ask your parents to just send me an email by this coming Tuesday [April 17th] to save time. 

Beginning upon my return AND after the EOC EXAM, we will hold [OPTIONAL] AP US HISTORY AFTER SCHOOL REVIEW SESSIONS every THURSDAY [3:40 - 4:30].

ePAT PRACTICE TEST

EDLINE.  Because of limited space, I use the terminology (above) of SHARING to represent ongoing daily class participation.  This column changes throughout the grading period and its elements are as follows:  asking questions, participating in class discussions, and taking daily class notes.  No student will receive lower than 70% throughout any grading period UNLESS the distractions of using cell phones improperly during class causes it.   However, it is critical to take notes and participate throughout the week.  If you are interested, under my MENU,  POLICIES & PROCEDURES covers just that and you can look at the RUBRIC.  In addition, XCREDIT is an ongoing category where students can earn available extra credit which "pops up" from time-to-time and is less than 10-points.  Anything 10-points or more receives a separate column in EDLINE.

Today's Holiday

South Korea Constitution Day

Constitution Day, July 17, is observed as a national holiday in South Korea on the anniversary of the date that the country's constitution was declared in 1948. Apart from the display of flags in public places, citizens and officials do little to formally celebrate the occasion, although events such as marathons are often held on the day. Constitution Day is no longer a free day for workers, but it is still observed as a day of commemoration. More...

Here is a video I found on YOUTUBE created by a former student at West Shore a few years ago.  You may enjoy taking a look.
Idiom of the Day

all bark and no bite

Full of talk that is more threatening or impressive than that which one can or will actually do.
Besides LECTURES, you are held accountable for any READ, REVIEW, REINFORCE or VIEW taskings which can show on QUIZZES, TESTS, or other EVALUATIONS. Any OPTIONAL resource is just that - optional and students will not be evaluated on that resource
