Step 4: Enroll in our AP Classroom (more details to follow! It should be open in early July. I will communicate with you via Google Classroom and email.) Look for the assigned videos for UNIT 1. View them, and complete the Video Notes Sheets. They will be given to you, but there is a PDF uploaded below that you may print out if needed.
Step 5: Write me a letter. Read mine, then write me back. You can do this on a Google Doc and share it, or handwrite it. This assignment will be posted on our Google Classroom as well!
