May 7-11, 2018

AP Human Geography
Mon. 5/7 -- Review the Urban test from last week.  Go over the test basics.  How to study, where to focus your time.  Material to bring (pencils, and blue or black pens, layers of clothing).
Tue. 5/8 -- 2016 Practice Test for multiple choice questions.  I also handed out a scoring guide to estimate your AP score.
Wed. 5/9 -- Review of the 25 most missed questions on the practice test.  Culture review powerpoint with questions -- it is posted on our google classroom page.
Thur. 5/10 -- Culture Jeopardy day.
Fri. 5/11 -- FRQ scramble.  We looked at about 10 FRQ essay questions from previous years.  Students wrote essay outlines and then we looked at the questions.  I recommend students go to AP Central and look at the AP Human Geography Exam.  They can see past questions, scoring guides and sample essays.
One week until the AP test :)

Economics
Mon. 5/7 -- Review notes on the national debt (p. 417-422) and take the open-note National Debt quiz.  In 6th period we had a brief amount of time to review the material from the tax truths assignment.
Tue. 5/8 -- Fiscal Policy worksheet.  Part 1 -- Watch Crash Course Economics #8 on Fiscal Policy and answer the questions. Part 2-3 can be found in the text.
Wed. 5/9 -- Worksheet on the structure of the Federal Reserve.  The worksheet covers the parts of the Fed and the major responsibilities for ordinary operations. Watch EconMovies Despicable Me, which will review the role of the Federal Reserve. 
Thur. 5/10 -- Monetary Policy.  I have a lot of notes to review the Fed and go over the tools of monetary policy.  The notes review the structure and cover the duties of the Fed chair, Board of Governors and FOMC.  Know this.  We also went over the three tools of monetary policy.  We finished in class with the Fed Chairman Game -- easily searchable.  It is good review, but there is nothing to turn in .  Unless you get reappointed and then you get candy!
Fri. 5/11 -- Collected Notebook #5.  Watched Crash Course Economics #10 on monetary policy.  Then we played Table Games -- a review for the unit.  Nothing specific to make-up, but I need notebooks.  Good luck APUSH people.
