AP U.S. Government and Politics Website

Now that the first semester is over we'll be moving on to a new blog. Below is a link to the AP GOPO website that you'll use during second semester. If you can, "follow" the blog so that you are up to date on everything that is posted. 

I know nobody is overjoyed to have winter break homework but due to our second semester time constraints, there is no other choice. All that you need to do and be prepared for before coming back to school in January is listed on the new blog.

Hope you all have an enjoyable few weeks away from school!
