= = =Welcome to the Class wiki for APUSH at Legacy High School=

This is where you will find handouts, assignments and other useful resources to help you be successful in AP U.S. History. Please refer to this site when you miss class or need additional materials. I will be posting assignments corresponding to the textbook chapters, following as closely as possible our Overview for the Year.

Each session will be focused on reviewing content from one of the AP periods from the 1st semester. We will practice multiple choice and short answer questions, and brainstorm supporting evidence/theses for sample DBQ and Long Essay prompts from each period. =====

The Practice Exam on April 15 counts as two review sessions. **This exam is recommended for all APUSH students.** It will give you the authentic experience of sitting for three hours and will help you develop skills for pacing yourself on the actual exam. It will also give you an idea of what score (1-5) you can likely expect on the AP exam. =====
