Happy Spring Break!
I hope you guys are getting some good rest and enjoying your time off! This post is for some quick reminders for you all.
AP Exam
Spring Break is a great opportunity for you to start studying for your AP Exam! This week allows for you to have a long period of “uninterrupted” time to plan out how you want to study and to start doing so! Half the battle with studying is PLANNING - so use your time wisely! Check out our page on the website here for how to buy one of my most recommended resources - study books - HERE.
Spring Break Assignments
And with that.... a week to take advantage of getting ahead on some content. On Schoology, there are four Crash Course videos and accompanying questions for you to complete. This is SOOO doable - and I know you guys like being able to view our history concepts in a different way. The final due date is Tuesday, March 20th to account for those who may be traveling.

Have a great break - stay safe and get some rest!
Spring Break is coming y'all!
This is the BEST time to start studying for your AP Exam ... I know, what a bummer. But you you won't have this static, periodic time period of being able to use your time to study for something again until Easter (and that's even shorter).
If you haven't already, I would try to buy one of the top test prep books I've shown you in class before. You can find them on my "Preparing for the AP Exam" page on this website HERE. These are EXCELLENT resources to use for exam prep with practice exams, great review info, and pre-made study plans for you if you need one!
