AP Exam Review

With two weeks remaining until the test, we need to focus our review on the areas of greatest need. 

So, in your notebook, the first task is to review your benchmark exam, and create a graph that reflects your mastery for the seven subject areas. You will use the results from your Spring Benchmark for this purpose.

If you did not take the Spring benchmark, then you will need to go online and complete AP Practice Exam II.

I will spend 15 minutes of each class on review, for which you will make notes, and complete a DOL.

AP Topic Outline Powerpoint

After that, you will focus the remaining time on your subject area. We have 12 days, and you must review four of your weakest subject areas thoroughly. 

That gives you about three days for each subject area: 

• day one: review and create study outline.
• day two: complete the practice questions for that topic.
• day three: free response questions.

What you can't complete in class, you will do at home. I will check notebooks daily, as you work.

Student-led Review

4.1.2016

Next week, you will lead the review for the six weeks test. I will grade you on the quality of your presentation, and the quality of the information you provide to justify the information.

Starting Tuesday, your assigned question, the correct response, and your justification will be included on a Powerpoint. The presentation will include Chapters 19-23, and your group's question will be the same each week.

Be sure to include justification, and the source of the information.

EEI PAID summer intern program

Good afternoon!

Thanks to a generous grant from the City of Dallas, the Environmental Education Initiative (EEI) team is able to offer a PAID summer internship for High School juniors and seniors!

The EEI High School student Internship provides an opportunity for high school students to conduct college level research on real world issues alongside graduate students and research professors. 

Students will work on refining a research question, identifying variables, and analyzing water conservation data. At the end of the 6 weeks, students will present their research findings to City of Dallas officials.

The internship is Monday – Wednesday starting June 13th and ending July 27th. Students will get the week of July 4th (July 4th – July 8th) off for family vacations. For their work over the summer, students will receive $1,200.

EEI Internship applications are due by April 30th and interviews will be conducted before students are out of school for the summer. 

The application can be found on dallaseei.org under High School – or you can use the link below for direct access to the application!
