These are the schedules I used the last year I taught APUSH, and I leave them here so that you can see one way to pace yourself so you do not get behind. Falling behind is deadly in APUSH, especially, since it is content dense, regardless of recent tweaking by the College Board. So here’s a resource for you.

The Scoop on History-APUSH and more

What is the OI for the DBQ Draft? Just an outline?
Posted by LittleEep on September 14, 2008 at 5:59 pm
What if we already typed the 3 body paragraphs?
Posted by steve on September 15, 2008 at 6:55 pm
are there any meeting for either Mizzou, Colorado State School of Minds, or UMSATR
Posted by Pixie on September 19, 2008 at 2:08 pm
yeah there is a meeting for Mizzou on Oct. 16 at noon. It’s just not listed, so just go and ask at the counselors for it.

If you guys want a good website for quizzes over each of the chapters, go to:
http://college.cengage.com/history/us/kennedy/am_pageant_brief/6e/students/ace.html
It’s the official website for the sixth edition of our book (we have the thirteenth edition). It has 30-question quizzes for each chapter that are very useful for studying. Even though it’s for the sixth edition, it reviews the same material.

Hey
Posted by Mnky on October 23, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Hi, Scoop! I wrote you the code for the days counter. You *should* be able to copy-paste this in place of the actual number–leave all the surrounding text like ” DAYS to the EXAM!!!!!!!!”. If all goes well, it’ll work automagically and require no more updating:
function showdays(){
var today = new Date();
var testday = new Date(‘May 8, 7:30 AM ‘+(today.getFullYear()));
if(today>testday)
{
testday.setYear(today.getFullYear()+1);
}
var diff=testday-today;
var daysleft=Math.floor(diff/(1000*60*60*24))//msecs*secs*minutes*hours;
document.write(daysleft);
}
showdays();
Posted by Mnky on October 23, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Aargh! The text box ate part of the code. You just need script tags around what I have above. Cheers!

looks like we don’t have any term check on
friday
Posted by Rhian_Rochelle on January 17, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Hey Scoop,
Umm…. on this you say we have a test on Feb. 13th, but I’m pretty sure we don’t have school that day b/c the elementary schools have a report day. Unless that’s just the elementary schools that get off…
Posted by student on March 12, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Can you post a link to Peacot’s flow charts?
i can’t find them anywhere…
thanks!!!
Posted by tieler on April 20, 2009 at 9:58 pm
Hey did you know that the test is scheduled for prom and we don’t have class that day?
Posted by student on May 9, 2009 at 8:06 am
