Week of January 18 through 28th

We are really busy in AP Euro.

The chart on the different ideologies will be due on Monday, January 24rth.

All students have been given a hard copy of the test review. I made this LOOKING at the TEST, so kids, there should be very few surprises.

As soon as we return in February, we are going to Pause and take a week to work on Document Based Questions.

Please keep on top of your grade on INTOUCH as I put in these last few assignments.
