Final Project - Epic Rap Battles information and group sign-up

One of the two options for your final project is our own APUSH version of Epic Rap Battles of History.  If you are choosing this assignment, please note the following -

1. Read the entire assignment sheet before you pick group members or subjects for your rap.

2. You must form a group of three to five people, all of whom MUST be in your class period of APUSH (with the exception of 0A split and 1A, who are allowed to work together).  No two-person groups OR groups of more than five people will be allowed.

3. As soon as you have determined your group members AND the two subjects who will appear in your ERB, please fill out the Google form linked below.  All groups and subjects must be selected by Monday, May 8 at 4pm.  If you are not part of a group by Monday afternoon, you will be required to complete the alternate (i.e. research paper) assignment.

Please email Mr. Flowers or Ms. Pettigrew if you have any questions about the project, and remember to fill out the form once you've settled on your group and subjects.

The Review Packet!

Here is a link to the PDF file of the APUSH review packet. If you would like a hard copy please feel free to ask either Mr. Flowers or myself know and we will print off a copy for you (you should really ask Mr. Flowers because he loves to make copies). [JK - you should ask Ms. Pettigrew for copies of the packet, because her room is much closer to the copier.] (No really Mr. Flowers finds making copies relaxing I would never want to take that away from him so you should ask him.)

The APUSH exam is next Friday so make sure you are studying!
