AP Macro Project

Yes, we did the AP exam and dim sum (not Rebecca).

Now we have some extra time, we will do a project.

I just borrowed some project ideas from University of California.

Since we are just high school students, we will do 3 out of 6.
I really like #4, so let's all do that one and you can pick the other 2. If you like, you can change U.S. to Canada to make it more relevant to us. We will have presentation of your findings/graphs/analysis when we are done.

AP Exam Prep

The AP Exam is next week Thursday! It is so exciting!

Our mind should focus on the exam now. First read p.15-31 of the book to understand strategies to do well on the exam.

Then do the diagnostic test on p.35 to see which areas you need to brush up for the exam. When you are ready, do the real Practice Test at the end of the book (p.259).

The remainder of the week, practice written section.
We will have a test next Monday.

We will have lesson tomorrow in the lab. Make sure you are there.
