In October we will study our first AP US unit. In this unit students will study the origins of American government, as well as American political thought. They will also be introduced to the concept of federalism.
The first comparative unit and the first US unit tend to be difficult for a lot of students. The units contain a lot of theory, many new terms, and difficult reading. Continue to encourage your son or daughter at home, and encourage them to see me for extra help if needed.
