AP* Summer Institute

For those teachers planning to attend the Pre-AP Social Studies session can you please bring the following items (it at all possible)
    1. a USB flash drive (you will use it to save information during the week)
    2. a copy of your textbook(s) you use in class
    3. a copy of your course syllabus (if you have prepared one)
    4. one or two units or lessons you would like to work on during the week
    5. if you have a laptop there is wi-fi capability at many places around the campus

I am planning on scheduling computer time during the week. My goal is for you to create or tweek a lesson/unit you plan on using in the classroom this next school year. We will have a share time on Friday morning in which you will present your lesson (handouts, etc...) to the group. If you create the lesson on a folder and store it on your USB stick then it will be easy to share it with everyone on Friday. The goal is to see how your lesson/unit works with strategies that we will talk about during the session at PLU.

I look forward to meeting you and working with you the week of July 14. If you have any questions before the conference, please feel free to e-mail me at apusteach@mac.com.

Thanks!
