Quince Orchard HS - Social Studies

    AP US History Summer Activities

    Teacher - Barbara Benedict - can be contacted at Barbara_S_Benedict@mcpsmd.org
    If you have questions at any point feel free to email Ms. Benedict at the address above.

    It is expected that the first three parts of this task will be completed before the first day of school. We will be using them on the first days of school. Ms. Benedict will explain her grading policy (MCPS) at that time but for now understand that:

    • “HW for Completion” = 10%,
    • Formative Assessments = 40%
      • Formatives are eligible for “re-do”.
    • Summative Assessments = 50%.

    Ms. Benedict will tell you the due date for the Summary Free Response at that time as well, but it will be sometime the first week of school.
