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

We will be testing over chapter 10 this Tuesday and Wednesday. Also due on Tuesday will be the Key Terms for this chapter. To help student prepare for the test I have made a practice set of multiple choice questions available on the MYAP website, and I would recommend students look over the study guide on my website. Also on the website their is a quizlet review as well as review videos covering the material that will be on the test. If any student needs any help reviewing I will be available every morning this week, and also during Chatt Time. If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks and I hope everyone has a wonderful week.
This week in Economics students will be going over the unit 5 test, then beginning to work on unit 6 which covers fiscal and monetary policies. This week students will have their second review quiz on Wednesday which will be over the different types of economic systems. Also this week students will receive the rubric for the EOC Study Guide Project, which I will also attach to this email. This project is designed to help students prepare for the upcoming EOC in April. If any student needs any extra help reviewing I will be available every morning this week as well as during Chatt Time. If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks and I hope everyone has a wonderful week.
This week in AP Human Geography students will be participating in the Rostow Cup Development Tournament. Students have been researching the development statistics of several countries and today will draft those countries to their teams. Tomorrow their teams will be pitted against one another in our tournament, be sure to ask your student how well they did. On Thursday and Friday we will be continuing our discussion on development with a focus on Economic activities. I hope to be able to test over this chapter early next week. Please check in with your student to see if they have been completing the reading assignments for this chapter, as the pace of the class increases the reading assignments become more and more critical. If any student needs any extra help reviewing or recovery I will be available Thursday and Friday morning, and everyday during Chatt Time.

Students will be turning in their cooking show assignments today, and we will be viewing them in class. This week students should be focused on reading in their textbook and reading in their AMSCO review books.
