Taking it to the next level

My students have been incredible this year. Every time I throw something new at them, they accept and run with it. When it comes down to it, their engagement in an APUSH course has to be pretty intense in order for them to be successful on either the AP exam or the course in general. And still, no one has opted out of the class for the second semester. Here is your next challenge:

Throughout the next 18 weeks of this semester, your group will be responsible for posting information on this APUSH blog. Because it was created for this class. It must simply be a commentary in response to a conversation you have in class about the material, a reaction to how you feel about any subject covered the week that it is due, or any other measure in order to make sure that you interact with the information at another level .

There is a list of instructions that will follow in order to help you become engaged with the material.
