1. Click on this link:

http://connect.mheducation.com/class/a-owens-american-history-section-01

I will add practice questions and "assignments" for you to complete including practice Multiple Choice and Short Answer Questions but for now you can browse some of the additional resources including an eBook version of the text.

Let me know if you have any problem registering. The access code is only valid this year and we only have a restricted number of authorizations so please do not share with students not in my APUSH classes.

For the BIG REVIEW it includes the entire Concept Outline with specific examples and open text boxes for you to choose evidence. You DO NOT need to know every specific example (I included some provided by the College Board that are pretty random), but two should suffice for the purpose of preparing especially for Short Answers, DBQs, and LEQs. My recommendation is to spend the next month developing your own arsenal of evidence. This is for your own benefit, but will not be collected or graded. The "Key Terms" List are all specifically referenced in the Concept Outline and are in the "need to know" category.
