Halftime DBQ Extravaganza

Damon Mollenkopf — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 17:08:10 +0000

Remember to check back here, or at the APUSH page at mr-mo.com, during half-time of the Super Bowl (probably around 8:15), for the DBQ prompt we’ll be working on tomorrow.

APUSH DBQ

Damon Mollenkopf — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 16:33:53 +0000

We only have 45 minutes per period. On the DBQ portion of the AP exam, you will be given 15 minutes to read/pre-write, and 45 minutes to write. As we scaffold the skills for this question, in order to give you a little time to read/pre-write, but not all weekend, I will be posting the DBQ on the class webpage at halftime of the Super Bowl.

You don’t have to check it out, but it’ll be there if you want it.

Tomorrow, 4th and 8th periods will be attending the Enlightenment Fair in the Aux. Gym. 1st period…we’ll figure it out tomorrow – perhaps some review if you’d like.

We’ll finish CSA – the movie on Monday. As promised, you’ll not be held immediately accountable for any of the reading until the Unit 4 exam. However, it is imperative that you keep up with it over Thanksgiving Break. Click on the syllabus link on the APUSH page and check Unit 4 for the page numbers.

Also, don’t forget that ID’s are due the Monday we get back.

Website Updates

Damon Mollenkopf — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 13:42:39 +0000

Because the program I use to update the website is located on my laptop and I am not allowed, per district policy, to plug my laptop into the school’s network, I have to update things from home. Unfortunately, as long as Westerville teachers are observing “Work to the Rule” conditions, I will not be updating the website. I apologize for the inconvenience this may be causing.
