Dear Students and Parents,May 6, 2015

This is the rubric for an AP Human Geography ABC Review Book over the materiallearned in class. The project grade will count for an optional TEST grade. The rubric explains exactly how the points are earned. Please discuss the project and plan a strategy for getting it completed by the due date, Monday, May 18th by 8:00 pm via email. Any projects received AFTER the 8:00 pm deadline will NOT be accepted. If you have any questions, you can email me at r assistance. I have sample pages from past ABC Books that students may look at in class to get ideas from or to help them better understand what the final product should look like. All work on the actual ABC Book project will need to be completed outside of class. However, the school library is open daily before and after school for students that need to use computers here.
