I have heard via mainland communication that some books have been ordered in stores because they sold out! Wow! I am amazed and pleased the book will be read! If you can't afford a book, you can borrow, buy it used (online), or wait until I tell you we need to be prepared. The Howard Zinn book is a definite at the beginning of the year though! You will definitely need it throughout the year and next year!!
As for AP book guides. They would help for review, but are not 100% necessary. However, I will be making a contact board in my class for "former students" and "current students" to connect and sell their old AP books. I will not be "part" of the transaction, but I will help when I can so you can buy a used book.
I am still on the mainland until this Friday and then I will be flying back to Hawai'i. I will be in Atlanta for the next four days working on IB curriculum and other IB teachers for HOA.
I am soooo excited to have you guys participate in such an outstanding historical class!
See you all soon!
