Resources
Your course will be structured to best prepare you for learning the material, foremost, and then for supporting you to do your best on the exam(s) required by IB or AP. I have provided the materials upfront, and we will work through each requirement and skill - practicing throughout the year. Rely on these links for leveaging the review process to better prepare for success on the exams.
Why so much writing? No one ever tells students why they should write something. "Well, you have to do this assignment…get this grade..." No! You need to learn to think. Thinking allows you to act effectively in this world. Writing allows you to think and it allows us to mimic the assessments you'll take part in.
