Today in class, students received back their results from the Unit 1 AP Quiz...Mr. Gull is very happy with the results!!! In addition, students received back their AP Chapter Questions from Chapters 1-4. During the instruction period, students were given copies of the new AP Chapter Questions for Unit 2 (Chapters 5-7) and some information about the Rubric Grading criteria for DBQ and FRQ questions for the AP Exam. The students used the rubric as they had a discussion with the instructor about the Essay portion of the exam and some early examples of DBQ formats. Near the end of the period, students were given a copy of an earlier DBQ question from the 1993 exam to evaluate and brainstorm (information from Unit 1 instruction).
Tonight's Homework: Begin completing the AP Chapter Questions for Unit 2 (Chapters 5-7)...in addition, review 1993 DBQ documents and begin formulating ideas for essay structure (we will use this in class on Tuesday).
About Me
- Mr. Gull
- Before I became a high school history teacher, I spent 14 years in the corporate world where I specialized in Healthcare Administration. In addition, I spent 3 1/2 years participating in professional sports (Satellite Professional Tennis Tour and Professional Golf Mini-Tours). In 2005, I found I really loved working in the classroom, so I returned to graduate school to earn my Masters degree in Education. I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE...I LOVE WORKING WITH MY STUDENTS!
