Treasure her. Mrs. Caddy is one of the best teachers you'll ever have. I'm currently a Junior and I had her one year in freshman English, and I still talk to her. If you have issues with essay writing or anything go up to her in break or tutorial and she'll be more than glad to help you. Also, develop a relationship with her! If you're an AVID student, then talk to her! She'll be amazing for letters of rec in the future, and she's really fun to talk to. The class is all about learning, never about memorization. For Socratic seminars, she will rate you highly if you lead in with a real-world example, tie the book into a joke or anecdote!
The tests are, in no way, holistic. Memorize names, dates, places, wars, and take GOOD notes for any videos she shows you. Anything is fair game, even her tattoos and pet names (her cat's name is avery), although these are usually extra credit questions.
When we first look at a map, study it at home, we may never look at it in class after the first time before a test
Pay attention to the books you read and look at specifics. The quizzes can be hard, but it’s an overall positive experience. As long as you engage yourself, you should be fine.
It's a hard class, but as long as you study smart, it doesn't take up too much time. Do the review he gives and read the textbook if you need to.
