In class today, Mr. G passed back our quizzes from Friday, and we went over the answers. He made a strong point of how important it is for us to read the book, because it will greatly help us on tests and quizzes.
He also handed back our federalist paper summaries.
We turned in our AP Government essay that was due today, then, Mr. G passed out a free response sheet due next monday. We went over how AP Gov essays are a lot different than AP US History essays. AP GOV essays do not contain an introduction, thesis, or a conclusion. They are essentially, get straight to the point and answer the question. They are more like short answer questions than an actual essay. Each question is assigned a different point value, and in order to gain all of the points, you have to totally convince the reader that you know what you are talking about. Mr. G said that a straight to the point and shorter essay will often score higher than a really long, but not very clear essay.
Our assignment tonight is to read pages 95 to 103 in janda.
