Yes, I told you so. There, I got it out of the way. I understand you feel burdened and overworked. But I have warned you and given you plenty of time to get things done. I keep getting requests for accommodations, especially asking for more time. At some point, too many accommodations remove any sense of standardization. You enrolled in AP Govt, which is supposed to challenge and prepare you for a standardized exam. You should be checking the Moodle (Folder 22) EVERY DAY for an article to read, and there is a forum for every week (Folder 23). You will have 2 this week, but plenty of time to get your comment(s) in. If you are planning on taking the AP Exam in May ($30 due next Weds), you should be preparing EVERY DAY. It is NOT an exam for which you can study 1-2 days before. Read the outline notes - 1 chapter a day. Read the article (5-15 mins. a day) on the Moodle. Participate in discussions - butt in while one of the louder voices keeps trying tio monopolize the time. Don't worry about being right - focus on thinking and sharing. And do not forget about the Court Cases/Amendments Exam...it is still lurking.
UPDATE: Kathleen K asked about the abortion policy change in the health care bill. Yes, we will discuss this in the future. Until then, familiarize yourself with this primer.

If we have time can we talk about the policy change for abortion tomorrow in or after class?
ReplyDeleteAre we going through/over concept maps tomarrow? Or did I miss hear you? What should we have done?
ReplyDeleteMaybe tomorrow, maybe Thurs, maybe Fri. All you HAVE TO HAVE are the 4 essays from Practice AP Exam 2 done by Thursday - and studying on a regular basis. Nice try.
