You will also need to wait and watch a video on How to take notes in AP US history. You will be required to take Cornell Notes on the 3 chapters. Additionally, you will be required to take and pass a Geography test. You will be responsible for knowing all 50 states and major rivers, mountain ranges etc. A copy of the map for the test you will take when you come to school in your first week as well as the physical features you will need to know is provided below. (Note: You will be responsible for knowing all 50 states, even though they are not listed on the physical feature handout.) Should you have any questions on your summer assignment, please feel free to contact me through this website or via email at [email protected] . Under normal circumstances you should hear back from me within 24 hours.
How to take Cornell Notes Lesson
A couple of things to note in the video, the resolution is terrible because I couldn't figure it out. I'll be working over the summer to get a better resolution screen caster, if you know of where I can get one for free, please let me know. Also, I'm sorry for the dry way the material is presented, don't think that class will be this boring. It's my first time working with screen-casting, please be patient as we both work to get better.
