AP US Government & Politics

This blog is for students in Ms. Aby-Keirstead's AP US Government class in Bloomington, MN. It is for students to post their thoughts on current events and governmental affairs. Students should be respectful & think of this forum as an extension of their classroom. The instructor has the same expectations for classroom discussion & blog posts. These posts will be graded for both their academic merit & for their appropriateness.

Reminders

I want to remind you that you are being graded on the quality of your research and the level of in depth writing you do. Please do not use sources like youtube or wikipedia to back up your arguments. Anyone can post on these sites. These sites are not helpful in an academic discussion. Also, be sure to back up your opinion with analysis. Don't just state your opinion. Lastly, please proofread and spell check your response before you post.

Most of you are doing these things and for that thank you. But since this is our last serious of posts and this project is significant in terms of your grade, I wanted to remind you of how you are being evaluated.

Take care and keep writing. I'm enjoying your thoughtful exchanges! M. Aby
