Prepping for the Unit 4 Exam
Unit 4 has decided to be broken up into three parts. Make sure you're studying the right content for the right chapter tests. Refer to the powerpoint if you're confused. Don't be confused.
*Pro tip: The Crash Course videos on this unit are probably the best of all the units. They are very entertaining and line up with the AP Key Concepts better than anything else. I highly suggest watching them as you go along.
Unit 4 Powerpoint
Step-by-step Guide to getting an A on the Unit 4 Exam.
Step 1 - Make sure you have good Quizlet flashcards from the powerpoints.
Step 2 - Read your REVIEW BOOK (online) and take good paper notes from it.
Step 3 - Add any flashcards from your review book that aren't in your stack from Strayer.
Step 4 - Check out the resources from Mr. Farshtey here - There you can find good paper 'cram packets', practice multiple choice questions, and some pretty good alternative powerpoints.
Step 5 - Watch as many Crash Course and Getafive videos as you can. It is smart just listen to the audio from these videos in your earbuds while you do whatever teenagers do when you're not at school. Also, if you feel like you're not getting it, sit down and take paper notes over the lectures (especially the Getafive videos).
Step 6 - Check out any additional resources below that tickle your fancy. Everything is helpful. I promise.
Step 7 - You win. lol.

Prepping for the Unit 3 Exam
Follow my advice below to make sure you know what you need to know for the Unit 3 Exam.
General Advice:
Set aside at least 30 minutes each night from now until the test. During that time, use different resources to ensure that you are on the right track.
Don't forget the flashcards. It takes more time, but it is so much more efficient to create your own cards instead of begging your friends to copy theirs.
If you aren't sure of something, google it. You can also email or message me any time for extra help.
To-do list: make sure you do everything below at least once:

If you aren't sure of something, google it. You can also email or message me any time for extra help.
To-do list: make sure you do everything below at least once:
- Read the Review Book, Review Book B, and APWH Textbook (Strayer chapters) in the buttons above over Unit 3 to get a succinct and varied take on the key concepts.
- Kahn Academy AP World History - video lessons with stimulus-based review questions to review. These are officially sanctioned by AP and are completely updated and helpful.
- A quick and short Google Doc with the must-know stuff that you can read in about five minutes.
- A website I just found by this "TeacherOz" character who basically has already did what I am trying to do here, just much better. He has videos, review quizzes, timelines, memes, gifs, videos over just the KEY CONCEPTS (I typed in all caps to tell you that it is important to watch those) and much, much more (as they say).
- History of JAPAN!!!!1! on youtube, History of JAPAN!!!1!! on Google Drive (you can watch at school)
- Click here to watch Crash Course on PBS which is available at school. Its videos 13-20.
- Check out the review page here. It has flashcards, practice questions, and cram sheets that are mega helpful! The page is old so it has the old period dates. Remember, our Unit 3 might be the old Unit 2. The years involved are 600-1450.
- Know the info over Unit 3 at this link. It is set up based on AP content and is the bare bones of what you need to know. You'll need to scroll down for Unit 3. It is a good thing. For real.
- Freeman-pedia is probably one of the most valuable resources for test prep. Spend lots of time there.

iPhone instructions:
Android instructions:
Task Ten: Check Out and Download The Free Microsoft Office
You should only use G Suite if you have to. It’s not perfect. What is perfect, however, is an absolutely free version of Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and tons of other tools. Use the steps below to download Microsoft Office on any computer that doesn’t have it. USE THIS TO DOWNLOAD OFFICE AT HOME! (You have five copies you can use on five different computers.)
· First, you should be logged in to your email. (login.microsoftonline.com)
· Click on your "Install Office apps" and then "Office 2016"
Scroll to the bottom of the next page, and click on “Install Now”.
· The download can take a really long time. Be patient.
· Once it is downloaded, go to your downloads folder and install it.
This works for either Macs or PCs.
- First period: Send a text to the number 81010 that says @19apwh1s
- Second period: Send a text to the number 81010 that says @19apwh2s
- Fifth period: Send a text to the number 81010 that says @19gopos
- Then, respond with your name and you are signed up.
- If it doesn't ask for your name, it means it already knows you because of the illuminati.
Task Two: Check your email and send an email
- Go to login.microsoftonline.com in a new tab.
- You can also get there by clicking on "Student Email" at the hot new website called MrBrock.net.
- The format for most student emails is the following; firstname.lastname@stu.rockcastle.kyschools.us
- So, if your name is George Alexander Washington, your email address would be george.washington@stu.rockcastle.kyschools.us
- On the next screen, choose "Work or school account" if prompted.
- Your password is the same one you use to login to the computer.
- After logging in, click on “Outlook” at the top of the screen.
- Outlook is the fancy Microsoft word for email.
- Then, click on “new” on the top-left of the screen and send me an email with the title "I love history soooooooooo much!" My email address is herbie.brock@rockcastle.kyschools.us
- You should also CC (which means carbon copy (which means that someone will get a copy of the email too)) someone in class that you enjoy talking to. You do this by typing in their email address in the CC box.
- Once that message is sent, you can move on to G-Suite
- ***Leave this tab open because you'll use to verify the other websites and apps you'll be registering on.
Task Three: Login to G-Suite
G-Suite is this new thing that is apparently better than OneDrive. It will replace Word Online and all its online friends. The muckity-mucks said we should be using it instead of OneDrive, and we do what we are told. To your boy, it seems about the same as OneDrive, but is better because it has basically unlimited storage. Here's what you have to do to make sure it is working.
- Open a new tab and type in drive.google.com
- You can also go to the RCS homepage and click on "Web Applications" and choose "Google Drive" from the list
- Your school email is there too
- You can also go to the RCS homepage and click on "Web Applications" and choose "Google Drive" from the list
- Choose "Organizational G Suite Account" and enter in your email address and password just like you did for your email in Task Two
- This is your new mobile hard drive. It is awesome. You can drag files from your computer right to this page and they will be saved! Hallelujah!
- To show me you know how to do this crap, click on "New" on the top-left and notice the last three choices. These correspond with Word, Excel, and Powerpoint in that order. Choose "Docs" and it should open a new window that looks like a Word document. Noiiice.
- Type the following on the page: "I really love learning. It's so true."
- It is now saved, (because it saves on-the-fly and automatically) but how can you title it? Just click on "Untitled document" in the top-left--you dingus--and title the thing "Learny-learn"
- But how can you share it? Click on the "Share" button on the top-right and type my email address in that box (its in Task One) and then click "Done" and I'll get an email from you with the shared document. Yay.

Don Quixote
Below, there should be a little podcast player thingy that will have an episode of "Radio Lab" on it. If you want to listen to just the part about Don Quixote, go to 39:00. If you want to listen to the whole thing, you can too. It's interesting. The rest of the show is about wrestling, which is interesting too.
In general, Radio Lab is really cool and worth checking out. It comes on WEKU every weekend and you can listen to full episodes anytime by searching for them in the podcast app on your phone or by going to their website. Yay.

Cosmos Video
Cosmos is a mind-blowing science show that explains many things that every educated human should know. I suggest you watch the entire season, then become a scientist, and then save the world. If you're not that into it, just watch episode one called "Standing Up in the Milky Way". The best way to watch it is on Netflix, but, below there are alternative ways to watch it.
Btw, the host is Neil deGrasse Tyson, who is an astrophysicist, and is probably one of the smartest people on earth. He has a rad podcast that you can check out by searching for "Startalk podcast" on whatever you pod on.
Youtube - video is small, but it works
