APUSH Final Project Alternate Assignment - the Electoral College paper

If you are choosing NOT to do Epic Rap Battles as your final project in APUSH, you must complete a 1,000-word essay on the Electoral College as described in the attached assignment.  The due date for this assignment is the same as that for ERB - Tuesday, May 24 at 7pm (submission via turnitin.com).

Please let me or Ms. Pettigrew know if you have any questions.

Epic Rap Battles - Assignment Sheet and Sign-up Form

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 9 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 Return of the 1920s

A long but fascinating comparison of America in 2016 with America of the 1920s from The Atlantic - just in case you needed something to read this morning (or were in the mood to prep for your upcoming essay).

Happy New Year! [and also you have a DBQ next week]

Hi everyone.  Hope you're all having a lovely break and preparing for a fun and safe New Year's Eve.  Just a quick reminder that you have a DBQ at the end of next week (Thursday, Jan. 7 for B-day and Friday, Jan. 8 for A-day).  In case you want to get in a little prep this weekend, the topic for your DBQ will be society, culture and politics in the 1920s.  I don't want to get much more specific than that, but if you're preparing, think about how those three topics intersect with each other and you'll probably have some productive study time.

Enjoy the rest of your break, and we'll see you next Tuesday!
