Make sure to understand the DBQ, LEQ, and Short Answer format. There are lots of great youtube videos that cover it really well and can further your understanding. In addition, look at the rubric for the essays so you know how it's graded. Sometimes, PK doesn't even look at your essay and gives you a zero on contextualization. So make sure it's evident that you have put a contextualization (Ex: If you're talking about the market economy of the US becoming more self-reliant, you can talk about the War of 1812). I would also underline your thesis in your intro so he knows how long your contextualization is. Next, make sure to look at the Review Guide as most of the tests are from there. Even if you don't like doing the reading if you at least look at the Review Guide, you should be fine.
Remember your MLA Heading. Box in your answers in your homework. Listen carefully to instructions and do your best in class and math class with Mr. Potter will be both fun and not too hard.
English 1 is not a hard course, but the essays count for a huge part of your grade, so try your hardest
