Monday Sept. 15, 2008

In class today:

1. Mr. G passed back our graded summaries of Federalist 10 and 51.
2. Mr. G passed back our graded Chapters 1-3 Quiz
3. Mr. G passed out a Chapter 4 Free Response Question Worksheet which is due next Monday Sept. 22
4. We discussed the format of the AP US Gov. test. It consists of 60 multiple choice questions and four short answer questions. For the four questions, they shouldn't be written in a narrative format (different than AP History last year!). These questions are awarded "points" for the student convincing the reader that the student really knows the material. The format of the AP US Gov test is different than the format of the AP Comparative Gov test, but we will discuss the Comparative Gov test later this year.
5. Also, Mr. G stressed the importance of really reading the text book.
