Good Morning,
I hope everyone had a good weekend, I know it can be difficult given our current situation, but please try to have some fun when you can. The first thing due this week is our 3rd Google form, again this helps me confirm that you know what the assignments are for the week so please fill it out by tomorrow 3/31. The second assignment for this week is that students will be logging on to our online testing service and take a practice two question test to make sure they can access the program, I will provide instructions below on how to access the program and test. Finally, this week we will be taking our test over Industry and Manufacturing online. I will post instructions below on how students can access the test. The test opens at 12:00pm Friday and Closes at 3:00pm Friday. Students will not be able to submit their test after 3pm. To review for the test I have posted numerous videos under the Unit 6 tab on the website. There are a couple of quizlets and Kahoots as well. Also, if you go to the AP review section and download the study guide there is a whole section covering Industry and Manufacturing which should be very helpful. In the google form there is also a survey question asking if you want me to host a zoom meeting to help you review for the test, which I am happy to do. If anyone needs any help with anything please let me know via email or through remind. You guys have done so great so far despite all of this craziness, I am so proud of how hard you have all worked. Here is the google form, due Tuesday: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfXGfi2y7fuLK_a8JmhxRrSyUY3Ix1zSHstEDg80nF0dDarIA/viewform?usp=sf_link Here are the instructions on how to access the online practice test and our test on industry and manufacturing.

Miss you guys, be safe Good Morning Everyone,
Yesterday I had a virtual department meeting and wanted to give everyone an update. It appears that students will no longer be taking the EOC this semester. So because of this a couple of things are going to change with digital learning. Since there is no EOC, we have longer to cover the material so I can spread out some of the information a bit more. To start, the Unit 6 Test is going to be pushed to next Friday. What I have done is created a 1 question quiz on Quia to just make sure that everyone can log in, so please do that “quiz” by this Friday, if you are having any problems logging in please email/text me so that we can get it fixed by next Friday and the test. The vocab for Unit 6 is still due this Friday, thank you to those that have already turned it in. I am also working on creating online make-up tests for people that need to make up or recover a test. A couple final things/reminders:
Mr. Crooks Good Afternoon Everyone,
I just got out of our department meeting and I wanted to share some of the updates to our course going forward. To start we will be finishing all of the Units in the course which is finishing Unit 6 this week and then starting and finishing unit 7. As we are working on these materials I will be providing review materials for all the content that will be covered on the AP Exam and on our Final Exam. As for the work this week the only thing I am adding to your workload is that you take the MYAP quiz on Changes and the World Economy Digital Learning by this Friday. To prepare for this I would please read chapter 12 in your textbooks and chapter 16 in your AMSCO books (these will help with the quiz). Because of this change you do not need to worry about completing Unit 1 of the grand review this week. Don't worry if you already did, it is still for a grade and will still be assigned. I am working on getting some more EdPuzzles/Videos/Quizlets/ for the rest of the content and to help us prepare for our exams. For those that our missing tests I will be creating assessments for you to take an alternate test. For those that need to do recovery for a previous test please email me and I will set up a recovery assignment for you as well. Thanks for being so flexible guys I really appreciate it. Good Morning Everyone,
Good Morning guys, I hope everyone is staying safe and trying to make the best of this situation. I have a “virtual” department meeting this Tuesday afternoon which will go over the changes being made to the AP Test this year, as well as digital learning overall. To my understanding the test will only be one FRQ this year that students will be able to take at home. The test is supposed to only cover Units 1-5. Again, I am waiting to confirm this with my department on Tuesday. Due to this new information, I am going alter the assignments that you are working on this week. Digital Learning Week 2: 3/23-3/27:
Miss you all, Mr. Crooks Good Morning Everyone,

This week we will be finishing up with Unit 6 which covers Fiscal and Monetary Policy. You will be taking the test over Unit 6 online this Friday. I will outline the process below, along with your other due dates. Week of 3/23-3/27:
