Mrs. Rodriguez says... HENRY CLAY WINS!!!!

oh yeah... and Thomas Jefferson won in 2nd period (you're welcome Bethany!)

Have fun NOT STUDYING tonight!!!

Mrs. Rodriguez says... the FINAL FOUR!

Remember-- for your final four defense, you should be writing paragraphs, not just sentences.  One whole paragraph about the losers (why are they cool, but not quite cool enough) and one entire paragraph devoted to the person you think should win Most Influential Figure in American History.

2nd Period Final 4:
MLK
Henry Kissinger
Thomas Paine
Thomas Jefferson

6th Period Final 4:
MLK
Henry Clay
John Marshall
Abraham Lincoln


p.s.... please be studying for your APUSH exam...!  Only 3 study days left!!!!
Any of those charts, your 5 Steps Book, or the essay practice are EXCELLENT resources.  Or, try practice quizzes online.  The point isn't in taking quizzes, but in testing yourself to see what you do (and do not) remember.  I don't recommend reading over notes EXCEPT in areas where you find you've forgotten information and need a refresher.

Mrs. Rodriguez says... TOC Day 3

p.s. (which technically isn't a POST, but rather a PRE script) I failed at getting Day 2 posted.  Am currently very late on Day 3 for 2nd period.  Forgive me!!!

MLK
Andrew Carnegie
Ralph Nader
Henry Kissinger
Eleanor Roosevelt

Day 4 is due TOMORROW (Friday)  for everyone... except that I won't be in school.  So you will have to organize yourselves to vote.  Lucky you, we won't bother with reading out the remaining facts (they're getting  a bit minuscule anyhow).

More details in class today!
