Vacation Assignments

Our short-awaited vacation is finally here! Good times. This year is flying by and we will return strong in '06. I hope to have all of your tests graded by then and I hope to see many perfect or high scores.
Naturally, we have some hw over the vacation: reinforcement material for Honors so that you can recall what you already know; some new and some review material for AP.
Honors: Download each "learning module" powerpoint (you must email me if you have any trouble doing so), read the lessons, write the questions and answer the questions BEFORE you look at the answer(s) as you go through the powerpoints. Show any necessary work (reasoning or calculation) that you did to get your answer. It's fine if you get the problem wrong. You can just put a line through your original answer and then write in the correction. Don't cheat yourself out of doing this properly; you will see some of these questions on upcoming exams. Label and organize your papers before you hand them in.
AP: It's all you for Chapters 11 and 12. Don't hesitate to email me if you have a question on how to do something but make sure that you first have read the text/study guides and looked at/solved the sample questions.
Later, I will post some more solved problems which will be categorized by question type and I will post a link or two to help guide you.
There will be two tests soon after the vacation: one on Chapters 11 and 12 (be ready for that within the first few days back to school - 40 minutes for that test!) and then one on Chapter 10 (which will be on our next day 4).
