John Green Crash Course Quizzes

Starting now, we will be viewing John Green's Crash Course World History videos in preparation for the AP Test.  The videos are broken up by unit and there is a quiz for each video on Schoology. In order to move on to each video, you need to get all of the questions right on the quiz.  There are 40 videos and 40 quizzes in all.

As we get ready for the AP Exam, these videos may be the MOST important prep that you have.

Here is the schedule:

Paleolithic to River Valleys due by Thursday April 2 (4 videos/quizzes)
600 BCE - 600 CE due by April 10 (8 videos/quizzes)
600-1450 due by April 17 (6 videos/quizzes)

AP World History Test--Thursday May 14

This entire review will be worth 60 points when complete---more than a reading quiz.  If you do not finish each unit by the due date, you will not get any points for that unit.  And you have to get each question right before moving on to the next quiz.  You can start the units any time you want. Don't fall behind.  As we come into the homestretch here, keeping ahead will be the most important thing you can do.
