Today's objective:
By the end of today's lesson, students will understand how their semester grades will be calculated (and how this has changed since last school year), have a good sense of how they are doing this quarter/semester in AP Government, and create a goal for the Semester Final Exam (and a study plan to get themselves there!). Students will also begin reviewing the big ideas examined in the first semester in preparation for the Semester Final Exam.
Agenda:
1) Grade reports distributed, graded work passed back, brief grade conferences as necessary.
2) Jigsaw activity with four Washington Post articles (on the GOP and the Constitution, the NRA as a lobbying group, the EPA, and frustrations with TSA).
HW: Study like crazy for the exam!
