AP Exam Review Episode Project
You’re almost there! 400 years of U.S. History, and you survived every moment of it. Now, we need to review for the actual AP Exam and the Final Exam. Your review team will select one of the time periods often lumped together in multiple choice, DBQ and FRQ sections of the AP Exam and help other students review for the exams by coming up with questions and activities to help them review and remember all the major people, places, events, and eras of the American narrative. Here are the groundrules:


 * 30-minute episode (no more, no less)
 * All sections of the exam must be addressed in your review activities somehow: multiple choice, DBQ and FRQ.
 * Your review must comprise key APUSH factors: political, diplomatic, social, cultural, economic, and alternative views of history: women, African Americans, Native Americans, and other unrepresented groups in popular history.
 * Vary your activities: It should not be a 30-minute quiz game only. Challenge students to review material in multiple ways throughout your review episode.
 * Incorporate the wiki somehow: Use the wiki to post organized study information on your time period consisting of practice multiple choice questions, FRQs, and DBQs that students can use after your presentation to review for the exams.
 * Do NOT reteach material or lecture from boring powerpoints. We have learned all of this material already, and those students who have not learned it will not benefit at this point from reteaching. There is simply too much information. They can learn from mistakes they make on your activities.

This will be your last graded project before the final. For seniors, it will be your final project for this course. Please take it seriously and make the time worthwhile for your classmates who are trying to perform well on the AP exam and the final. I look forward to your review episodes and will grade them based on the groundrules stated above. Good luck!
