AP Exam Review & March Madness Guesses

Just a reminder that Saturday AP exam reviews are available (for many courses, not just US History) on April 13th and April 20th. They are free, staffed by awesome DPS teachers (like yours truly), and you get some lunch if you to both sessions.

Sign up here: http://www.dpsnc.net/programs-services/advanced-academics

If you want more quality time with Ms. Harris, I'll be leading the afternoon APUSH sessions. Mr. Jones will leading the morning sessions (if you need a break from me...). All sessions will be similar for APUSH, so only sign up for one.

Also...it's bracket season. For fun, I asked my B-day classes to take some guesses about who will win it all. A-day, if you want to join in, leave a comment below. I will bring a treat to anybody that gets it right. Unless you guessed Duke. Then I'll just be grumpy.

Guesses so far:

Kansas—Alex K, Stephen Y, Ben K
UNC—Alex J, Kyle, JeanMarie, Claire (these people are truly loyal fans and wishful thinkers). 
NC A&T—Nick P
Miami—Rachel K, Austin, Robbie, David
Michigan—Hope, Billy
Indiana—Thomas, Alli
Duke—Amar, Spencer (these people obviously do not care about their grade in this class).

  2. 2013 Preliminary AP US History Sample Essay:

    The College Board has given the following essay a score of 9 for its use of factual statistics, realistic arguments, and general awesomeness.

    Although the Tarheels generally receive more favor by the confused public, the Duke Blue Devils will surely win the NCAA tournament. Duke University maintains a proper and elegant team that has gone 29-5 in the season, has beat UNC three times (the last loss was so bad, it counts as two), and features the Big 3 trio of Ryan Kelly, Mason Plumlee, and Mr. Seth "Spicy" Curry. Clearly, Duke is superior to the scrambled variety of McDonald's All-Americans that UNC had ordered off of the dollar menu, and shall carry the NCAA tournament with swiftness and ease. It is no small wonder that even President Barack Obama has picked Duke to make it at least through the Elite Eight selection.

    Sincerely, a local Duke fan (inquire within Period 2A).
