This blog's purpose is to encourage students to interact with each other as they develop a clear and detailed understanding of the themes that run through the AP United States History curriculum.
Students need to respond in the comments to at least one post. Responses can be to the prompt specifically or to another student's comments. Students should take every opportunity to introduce new content, elaborate on other students' contributions, or perhaps even correct a mistaken peer. The more thought and work you put into your comments, the more useful this blog will be as a tool for constructing learning and review. Interaction should be polite and constructive. Include your name and class hour/block at the end of your contribution. I am the sole moderator of this blog, so your comments may take a short while before they are approved and published. Just prior to the Period One assessment, I will reconstruct the blog's content into a useful review. Happy studies! --Mr. Crossen
