“You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks”......Winston Churchill...
I am always looking for NOTEBOOK PAPER, PLASTIC FORKS/SPOONS, PAPER TOWELS, HAND-SANITIZER & KLEENEX TISSUES, and SMALL BITE-SIZE CANDIES for the class.    
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

EOC PRACTICE

I've explained why students taking AP US HISTORY should take the Florida END-OF-COURSE EXAM.  Why?   If an APUSH student DOES NOT PASS THE NATIONAL EXAM, they will not get the EARNED CREDIT for graduation of 10th GRADE US HISTORY.  However, if the student FAILS the NATIONAL EXAM, but takes and passes the FLORIDA EOC [10th Grade US History credit], all is well in the world.

Mr Drake [GUIDANCE] is aware of our APUSH students taking the exam.  I've been encouraging all my students over the past 4 years to take the exam.  It will be on April 25th.  In my four years, I've only had a couple of students not pass the EOC, and it was more related to a language issue.  Each took it the following year, and passed with flying colors.

We NEED assurance that each STUDENT TAKING THE EOC has completed the PRACTICE EXAM. 

Once completing if a parent can email me that  your son and/or daughter completed the practice - all is well.

To ACCESS the EOC PRACTICE TEST which 100% of those taking the EOC must complete.  There are only 6 QUESTIONS.  

Please HYPERLINK on the EOC logo .  Simply follow the procedure to get to the test.
Please note that FOCUS has  been updated throughout this past week [check the grades in the chart above] to include accuracy.

On TUESDAY, APUSH STUDENTS take a FORMATIVE/SUMMATIVE TEST [EVIDENCE BASED].

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...
