While you are on break, you need to complete the last of the book/movie projects. Same format as it has been all year. The list of books is linked up here.
If you are interested in what we discussed today in class, the material is contained in chapter 35.
When we return, we will cover chapters 36-40 in a very abbreviated format. We will skim over World War II, as you have all discussed it before, and certain elements of the Cold War will also be omitted. Please feel free to read on your own over vacation any or all of the upcoming chapters. We will have our final test on May 3, and we will begin to review for the AP exam (which is May 16th in the morning) on Monday, May 6th. Please note that many of you will be missing days of class for other AP exams, so be aware that your review will be more or less complete depending on the days you miss for other AP exams and various field trips.
I strongly encourage you to begin to organize your materials over the course of this vacation. One suggestion is to go back through your blog of this class for the year. Tag or label each post for time period and/or geographic region. This will allow you to search for information easily, and put information within your reach far easier. I also recommend the creation of a google spreadsheet, either by theme or by region, and go through the time periods and locate and write down information that is important or relevant to the themes or regions for that time period. Both activities will force you to confront the material we've covered, and give your brain a chance to demonstrate what it does or doesn't know.
Have a great vacation!
