Greetings!! This semester I will be your AP U.S. History Teacher!
AP U.S. History is quite a bit different from the ordinary U.S. History class. The main difference, besides there being an AP Exam with the potential for you to earn college credit, is that the emphasis is on using skill rather than just memorizing content. This class will require you to be a history detective--- to be able to take documents, analyze them, extract information, and compose what we call "DBQ (Document-Based Question) Essays." DON'T WORRY--- this class focuses first on your effort, THEN on your execution; MISTAKES ARE OKAY IN THIS CLASS, THEY LEAD TO GROWTH!
Any students who need assistance or further clarification of tasks, readings, etc., I am always ready and available to assist! Here, you will find the class syllabus as well as the information for using the Remind app; if grade recovery is necessary, it will be available based on Hephzibah High School's grade recovery policy.
I can be reached at WilliMa6@boe.richmond.k12.ga.us, or via Remind once I have added you (my students) to my Remind rosters. I am available for tutoring by appointment.
Looking forward to spending a GREAT YEAR with you!!
God Bless!
