AP US students, your site is ready for me to move content. Slowly but surely your slideshows and other information will be transferred and hopefully will make finding information easier. Other classes, yours is coming.

What is Culture? How does it define who we are? How does where we live define our culture? What impact does government have on culture and society?
Evaluate what you know of culture and what has been mentioned in class. Use any notes or information you have to discuss the above questions. You will be graded on your response based on use of class discussion and information presented. You will be graded on your language and quality of writing. You will be graded on your ability to present your view point and support it with examples.
20 point essay with some room for subjective grading.
Is anyone going to be offended if we wait until Monday for the International Relations test?
Great…then let’s do that.
Several students created PowerPoints to go along with their presentations. Rather than embed all of those here I am linking you to my slideshows on slideshare.net. Simply click and view the one’s you need.
I know you guys are concerned about your upcoming test and I know you are very concerned about the speed in which we covered the first four chapters. If you have been reading most of the information should not be new. If you have not been reading, this is your first issue. You must read!
I am linking a PDF document, a copy of what you will be given in class, for you to use as a guide. This is a guide ONLY, not a strict promise of testing material. When reviewing my notes, these were the items that “stuck out” to me. It is a topic list to help guide you, simply identifying each item with one sentence will not be enough to guarantee your success. Remember, history is much easier to learn and understand when you view the concepts as pieces of a much larger puzzle. Focus on the big picture.
Hope this helps…
Students, I’m finding it difficult to keep track of questions so I would like to ask that you put them all in the same place. If you have a question about class, want to discuss something extraordinary in the world, or just want to talk about school stuff with each other then click to the forum. Even non-registered users should be able to post topics and reply to topics. (Be aware it does require simple math to post. It’s just so the site can be certain you are human.) Put questions in the appropriate place please.
Again, you can find the forum in the page links or click here.
