6. Setting up your US History Notebook
The US History Notebook is the most important document from the course and is crucial to your success in the class and on the AP Test.
1st 5-8 pages: Table of Contents.
Every page should be numbered. Keep your TOC up to date with each assignment.
Put a title on EVERY assignment that we do so that it is easy for me to find when I grade your notebook. I will not search for your work, if I can’t find it, you won’t get credit for it
What goes in the notebook:
Notes: Labeled with a Header (Chapter Number and Title)
Reading Questions: Homework or in Class assignment
Quickwrites, Discussion Notes, In class assignments
Notebooks will be collected at the end of each unit (On Test Day BEFORE the test)
LATE notebooks (any received after the Unit Test) will be subject to a 50% deduction. It is the student’s responsibility to keep up with the notebook and all of it’s contents.

8. Silent Speedball Rules
Everyone must be standing
We are going to pass the ball around the room without talking (or making any deliberate noises whatsoever)
Make/maintain eye contact when you are trying to throw the ball.
PAY ATTENTION
If you don’t catch the ball, or throw an uncatchable pass you are out
You cannot throw to the person who just threw the ball to you. If it’s the first round you must throw to someone who hasn’t touched the ball yet!
The goal is to be the last 2 people standing
