Industrial Revolution

Team Euro,

Just as we had summer reading, we also have work that infiltrates our Christmas vacation.

We will be tackling the Industrial Revolution (chapter 22). The good news is the chapter is fairly short and very straightforward.

Here is the assignment:
  • Read the chapter thoroughly
  • Choose what will serve you best and do EITHER an outline OR the study packet (on Drive)
  • Read through the PPT resource on Drive
Monday, January 6th, when we return, we will use the first part of class to field questions and then take a MCQ on the unit.

Tuesday - FRQ

Friday - DBQ

You are free to email me over break to ask questions as they arise.

Congratulations!

Team Euro,

You did it! You conquered the first semester of AP Euro! Well done! I am proud of you!

And you have improved in your work along the way. This will only increase exponentially next semester.

Now it is time to relax and get some sleep!

[Though note the unfortunate reality of covering Ch. 22 on the Industrial Revolution during break. See the next post.]

Final Weekend Reminder of 2013

Team Euro,

This is our last weekend before the final exam. Consequently it is a time for focused and purposeful work. Be sure to spend substantive and focused time reviewing each unit focusing on the details but all the while maintaining the large picture:

  • Review the hub dates
  • Review the chart with centuries and countries
  • Look back at your old outlines and unit packets
On Monday and Tuesday we will continue our focused review. Wednesday is the big day. 80 MCQ and one FRQ (you will have a choice of three prompts). The MCQ will be 60% and the FRQ will be 40% of your final exam grade. Remember the final itself is 20% of your semester grade.

Bring questions to class as they arise.

Shall we do a study session after school on Tuesday to prep for the exam?

Weekend Reminder

Team Euro,

We are so close to the end of the quarter/semester!

This weekend study hard for your French Revolution MCQ and FRQ.

Monday I will field questions for as long as you desire before we take the MCQ. Tuesday we will take the FRQ.

Wednesday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday will be dedicated to reviewing for the final exam.

On Wednesday you will be required to submit the first semester Hub Dates study guide (on Drive). The idea behind the Hub Dates is there are particular important and driving dates in European history through which the recent surrounding history can be understood and categorized. Here is an example:
