This is a 18-question, multiple choice quiz based on the Greek works from the 250 prescribed works by the College Board. (I also added a couple extras when I taught it.) Pages 1-2 = the assessment Pages 3-4 = the answer key I made the multiple choice questions in the style of the AP test, as per what my AP trainer advised and outlined in the training. I purposely strive for simplicity in my Mac-made products; I don’t add much clip art or use fancy fonts. I want you to be able to open the documents on any type of device, without issue, and be able to modify as you see fit for your classroom. Note : There are three spots where I have a textbox telling you what image to put in. I cannot put the images in and then sell it here because of copyright law, so I just show you where to put it. Note : Most of my store is for my French classes, but I'm dual-certified and also teach APAH. All of my APAH documents are in ENGLISH. Fully editable Word doc.

Well, I thought the last week of term would be spent winding down, finishing off, filing away, getting ready for the long summer hols, oh how wrong I was! My youngest had watched a film on Marie Antoinette and wanted to know more about her, this of course, led on to the French Revolution, which led onto a lapbook. There's nothing wrong with this, it's great, home ed in action, but it was the last week, I was winding down and filing things away ready for the holidays... sigh! So here it is the fastest printed out and put together lapbook in history! Most of the information was from here and here. We learned about the 3 estates, Marie Antoinette, Louis 16th, Napoleon, The Bastille, The Guillotine, The Tennis Court Oath, The French Flag, Voltaire and Rousseau, The Declaration of Man, The New Constitution of France and general French geography. The printout lapbook flaps came from here and I really can't thank the person enough because we just wouldn't have been able to do this lapbook without her! Below is a printed out power point presentation of the Lady who started this whole thing off! I took a photo of the front cover only. Below is a 'made up' diary of someone who attended the beheading of Louis 16th. And even though this whole project was 'a rush job' my daughter remembers in detail the things she learned, just goes to show that if the interest is there, they retain the information.
What are "rhetorical pyramids"...? A lovely pattern that prompts your students to condense their rhetorical analysis into several "triangles" -- to be cut out, folded, and taped, forming an origami pyramid of analytical glory. This is a fun little activity that promises to engage your kiddos while conducting some high level analyses. (Teaching middle school? This is perfect. Teaching AP? Your students will swoon over the prospect of pairing some arts and crafts with the rigorous rhetorical analysis that's sure to follow.) Grab our Rhetorical Pyramid templates now for only $2.99!
Conflict is an essential tool for analyzing literature, understanding history, and improving as a writer. Each year, my 6th graders discuss the types of conflict commonly found in stories and analyze writing using the content imperatives.

Student-centered pedagogies have inquiry at their heart -- a commonality key to their success and far more critical than keeping the jargon straight.
Think of how often your class grinds to a halt because a few students are just not getting what you're laying down. In a typical 60 minute lesson, you have only a few minutes to elicit the target language, and if only a few students are still confused, you have to make a decision—move along with you
