Quote: "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." –Anne Frank

Agenda:
1. DO NOW: We are one week away, what can you do to prepare?
2. FRQ Analysis: Focus on DBQ - Point of View Discussion. 
3. Video Documentary: This documentary will march us through some of the key moments in the development of China. It is a huge part of the AP Test. This is also a good break in our Mock Testing. We'll do the 2013 Mock Test again next Monday. We won't have the entire 55 minutes, like the test. But this will be a good chance to push yourself to see how many you can complete in the 50 minutes we will have to do it.
**Because you are testing for End of Course & taking the practice ACT/SAT this week, I have pushed the MOCK test back a week. Corrections on 2011 Mock Test are due on Friday at the end of class.
Great tips from the "Master" - Bill Strickland.
