Assignment

Note sheets that correspond to each of the Unit One lectures are attached below. It is strongly and enthusiastically recommended that you:
 
1) Print them out (please see me if you aren't able to print from home; the Social Science Department is happy to assist you with this step if needed!!)
2) Number them in order (each file is numbered), with a designation that also indicates the unit number (a la 1.1, 1.2, 1.3)
3) Keep them in order in a 3-ring binder so they are well-organized when you're ready to review for the unit exam, the final exam, and the AP exam.
4) Bring them to class each day of the unit (we will not necessarily go through one set each day so it's to your benefit to just have them all handy).
 
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
