Do your readings the night that you are assigned it! That way what you have read is settled into your mind and you can go over your reading guides the next class you have. Prepare well, focus in class, and focus on important information. Ms. Matthews goes over the material effectively and goes over homework/tests always so make sure to pay attention. The essays and other writing assignments will go easily as long as you know your stuff.

Ms. Matthews is one of my favorite teachers! She is definitely bursting with knowledge and is so passionate about the subject and what she does. Although I may not be a huge fan of history, she made this class feel worthwhile even when I was having an off day. She teaches effectively and if it wasn't for all the help she did in preparing us I wouldn't have gotten what I had on the AP exam.
