Week at a Glance 3/30-4/3

Hi all,

Wanted to give you an overview of what to expect and what to focus on during the upcoming week:
  1. Complete Khan Academy Unit 1 "Foundation of Democracy" Assignments by Friday (4/3) - Excellent job to those of you who have already finished!! These videos/assignments are preparing you for the Unit 1 Test
  2. Take the Unit 1 Test on College Board My AP Classroom (Links to an external site.) - For those of you who finish the Khan Academy early, I'll open the testing window on April 1st and it will close on April 5th at 11:59pm. The test is comprised of MC and FRQ questions. You need to take the test seriously but it is a practice test. It will take you a while (I believe it will allow you to take the test in multiple sittings). Incorrect responses will give you explanations that you can learn from (take notes!!). Seriously...this is going to help you assess where you're at at being prepared for the AP test. How you do will give you feedback on what topics you'll need to focus on during last minute review. 
    • When taking the test you are forced to use a Lockdown Browser by the college board. Be sure to install it on your device before starting. Here is a How to Guide (Links to an external site.) if you're having trouble.
  3. On Friday, the College Board is releasing the rest of the details about the revised AP tests. This will include information about how and when you'll take the test as well as additional resources that they will provide to help all students get better prepared. After I have a chance to review their update, I'll schedule a class Zoom meeting for next week and we'll chat through it all so we're all on the same page. 
As usual, send me an email if you have any questions

P.S. On a side note, next week will be very similar...finish Khan Academy Unit 2 and take Unit 2 Test.
