APEH Summer Assignment: 

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TTTAcG-FoqkHDvs3JqcFHwi2ToBTGdu-DGXirOyGu4k/edit?usp=sharing

Please note that if you have been enrolled into APEH, you will receive an acceptance notice from me. If you received a textbook notice, but you were on the waiting list, you are not enrolled in APEH at this point. So far, there have been very few drops from the class, so it's not likely that more students will be admitted from the wait list.

US History:
1. If you didn't finish your Venn diagram comparing/contrasting MLK Jr and Malcolm X, you should have it ready for a stamp on Friday.

EL World History:
Congratulations on finishing your essay!  No homework.

APEH:
Please return your textbooks as soon as possible.
Don't forget that your school google account will be deleted after graduation. Move anything you want to keep to another storage site or you will permanently lose access to it in June.
