AP Scores

I am often asked how well students do on the AP US History exam. Over 60% of the rising seniors had passing scores of 3, 4, or 5 on the May 2006 exam.

Peacemaker Game

For those of you following the fighting in the Middle East involving Israel and Lebannon the New York Times recently ran a favorable article on the educational value of a video game called Peacemaker. Information on the game is available at www.peacemakergame.com

Welcome

Welcome to our class blog. We will use it in a number of ways throughout the coming school year. For example, a student will be assigned to post a summary of the class each day so that those who might be absent will know what went on and for the student of the day to show some insights into the history discussed. For the summer we will use the blog to comment on the summer assignment. Since the assignment covers the time frame of the 1960s to the present your parents should be an excellent source of stories and remembrances of what the time frame was like.
