Welcome to our class blog!  This is a tool that we will be using throughout the school year for discussion, and we are going to get a head start with it this summer.  Feel free to respond and reply to your classmates and create a conversational approach to this tool.
For our first post, I would like you to try out signing in and posting the following:
1.  What is the reason you decided to take AP US History?
2.  How many AP courses are you taking this year?  If applicable, which other AP classes are you enrolled in?
3.  What is your academic goal heading into this class?  What grade are you expecting?  What score are you shooting for on your AP test in May on a scale of 1-5, 5 being a perfect score? (You may want to check with the college or university you are interested in to see what score they accept for credit to determine your goal)
4.  How do you think this class may be different than any class you have taken before?

  25. 1. What is the reason you decided to take AP US History?

    I decided to take this class because I want to challenge my academics with a social studies topic I am interested in.

    I am taking 3 AP classes this year; AP US History, AP Lang, and AP Music Theory.

    My academic goal is to keep an A in this class, but my realistic goal is to get a B. On my test in May I'd hope I'll be able to score a 3 or above, since that's passing and the score most colleges aim for.

    4. How do you think this class may be different than any class you have taken before?

    I think this class may be different than any class I have taken before in the way that most people that have taken it say it's the most challenging AP course, which pushes me to succeed in it more than any other class I'm taking this year.

  28. 1. I decided to take AP US History due to the fact that I finished AP human geography and did pretty well on that
    2. I believe this is the only AP course i am unless PLTW is an AP class
    3. My academic goal is just to learn stuff and have fun learning it, as for the AP test my goal would always be a 3 because if i score higher thats neat its a middle ground
    4. I think this class wont be really different then past classes due to hearing that these are more hands off classes where you just get assigned work, which im familiar with through SAGE and my prev AP class

  29. 1. What is the reason you decided to take AP US History?
    The reason I decided to take APUSH is because I really enjoyed the experience I had in APHG and I genuinely felt challenged. I'm hoping that this class can give me the same experience and push my academic limits!

    2. How many AP courses are you taking this year? If applicable, which other AP classes are you enrolled in?
    I'm only taking this AP class this year, I felt like this would be enough for now, since I plan on taking 3-4 next year.

    My academic goal heading into this class is to challenge myself and push my limits. I want to have fun learning the material while still getting the challenge I feel that I need. My goal for the exam is a 4, but I'm more likely to get a 3, based on what I've heard from past students.

    4. How do you think this class may be different than any class you have taken before?
    I think that this class may be different from past classes in that one, it is much more difficult than any other class I've taken. It'll be much faster and harder than APHG was from what I've heard.

    I am aiming just for college credit (3). However, I will still challenge myself to get the highest score possible.
    4. How do you think this class may be different than any class you have taken before?
    Since this is an AP class, I think that it will be a lot more challenging than regular classes.
