APUSH Final Assignments!

Here is some information about the final assignments for APUSH.  You MUST choose one of these two assignments - one is the Epic Rap Battles of History project, and the other is a 750- to 1,000-word paper, based upon three related reading and research assignments.

If you are choosing Epic Rap Battles, please download the assignment sheet below (hard copies will be available Monday in 274), and read the directions carefully.  You might also want to watch some of the ERBs on YouTube (warning: there is explicit language in several of them!) to get an idea what's happening.  Once you're ready, you should fill out the Google form linked below to verify your group (three to five people in the SAME period of APUSH as you) and pick your subjects.

Whichever of these assignments you choose, it will count as 2/3 of the 'Essay' category for the sixth six weeks (about 26% of your sixth six weeks grade), AND 1/2 of your Final Examination grade for those not claiming the AP exemption.  Each assignment will be due on Wednesday, May 28.  I will post the login information for turnitin.com for those doing the paper in the next few days.
