BIG IDEAS & things to help you succeed in US History this year:
This is an EOC course (meaning the EOC is 20% of your overall grade!!)
ATTENDANCE IS CRITICAL TO PASSING THIS CLASS!!! We start taking notes on Day 1!!
We take Unit assessments almost every week! So it’s important that you are doing your study guides and studying notes nightly
Study guides are graded!! Must be turned in ON TIME!!
Expect homework! Must be turned in ON TIME!!
This course is very fast paced! If you’re absent, you MUST check Google classroom to get any missed notes
Participation in class counts as a weekly classwork grade !!
Tutoring is available after school (by request) Mondays and Thursdays from 3:15-4:15 pm
I communicate most frequently through email and Infinite Campus Messenger!
AP Human Geography
AP Human Geography introduces students to the systematic study of patterns and processes that have shaped human understanding, use, and alteration of Earth’s surface. Students employ spatial concepts and landscape analysis to examine human social organization and its environmental consequences. They also learn about the methods and tools geographers use in their science and practice. The course is structured according to the course outline found in the most recent AP® Human Geography Course Description published by the College Board
https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/apcourse/ap-human-geography/course-details
This is a fascinating class that will introduce you to the spatial world around you and its influences on human interaction and the environment. It is, however, a rigorous course, as is the case with all college-level AP courses. As a result, you will be required to complete reading and writing assignments outside of class and take notes in class on lectures and discussions. Failure to complete reading assignments and poor note-taking will have a negative impact on your ability to be successful in this course.
AP Human Geography is demanding and you can expect exams in traditional AP format, quizzes, essays, research papers, projects, and presentations.
You are required to maintain a course binder for notes, handouts, and assignments. This binder will serve as a valuable review resource in the weeks leading up to the national AP Human Geography Exam. Every student enrolled in AP Human Geography at HHS is expected to take the exam. The exam is two hours and 15 minutes long and consists of 75 multiple choice questions and three free-response essay questions. There is a fee to take the exam (financial assistance is available for students who qualify for free/reduced lunch). Students who pass the exam can earn college credit. Exam registration and due dates for the fees will be announced in the spring.
