Welcome to the 2014 APUSH blog. Why blog? The purpose of having an APUSH blog site is to prepare you for what is to come in your educational life. Many college professors use online discussions as a regular part of their courses. The mission of LCHS is to teach, challenge, support, and PREPARE every student to be a productive member of society. I take the prepare aspect of our mission very seriously. With that in mind, this should be an easy way to prepare for what is to come... certainly easier than say... note cards, studying for tests, and reading the American Spirit!! :-). I have found that blogging is very helpful for preparing my students for the AP Exam... just another tool!
I will be posting questions each Friday and you are required to post an original blog response and a response to a classmates post by the following Friday. Think of the blog as a roundtable... you should respond with SFI and/or analysis. You will not be given credit for comments that are historically inaccurate or the same as those posted by others, so be sure and read what others have posted. You may add to the comments made, but simply restating in different words will not get you credit. Make sure I can identify you by your blog name, if I do not know who you are then I cannot give you credit for blogging! Make sure I know who you are!!
I am looking for... thoughtful, informed responses, so keep this in mind as you post.
Happy, informed blogging! :-)
