At the start of the period, the instructor passed back the Unit 9 AP Chapter Questions Homework (graded) and the results from Friday's Unit 9 AP Exam (80 multiple-choice questions). The high score in Period 2 was a 66 out of 80 and the high score in Period 3 was a 68 out of 80. Remember...the goal is to reach above a weighted score of 48 out of 80 to be consistent with achieving a "potential" 3 out of 5 on the AP Exam (dependent upon written DBQ and Free Response questions).
Following the debrief regarding Unit 9 exam, the instructor passed out the AP Chapter Questions for Unit 10 (Chapters 30-33) and began the lecture and discussion over the Causes of World War I (review from World History and AP Euro...last year). The information focused on the growth of Nationalism, Imperialism, Militarism and Alliances in Central Europe and how the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand sparked off the war (analogy: like a lit match on kindling soaked with Lighter Fluid).
Tonight's Homework: Begin reading in Chapters 30-33 in American Pageant and begin AP Chapter Questions for Unit 10.
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!
