Other guides are also available. According to the Math outline, it looks like this years math competition will be very easy (only Algebra 1 and Trigonometry). Remember that this year's Super Quiz topic is Science, specifically Geology.
If anyone wants to read ahead about the history of the Great Depression, Ms. Schulz has her AP US History available in her room and has given permission for us to use it for ACADEC purposes. I'd like to see if we can make copies of the chapters we'll need to read, but if we can't... oh well. ;)
PBS has a pretty good history series going on right now, with a collection on the 1930s (here's the link to the collection, available to watch for free online). Topics include the Crash of 1929, the Hurricane of 1938, Seabiscuit, Hoover Dam, New Deal policy, the Dust Bowl, and the hoboes who rode the trains. Dr. Swartzer may or may not be playing these videos in class in the next few days.
National Public Radio (npr.org) usually has some good clips that discuss musical pieces in detail (like how I found "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime" and left a link one or two blogs ago). If you guys have any questions, just leave it in the comment box and I'll get to it eventually. I also plan on gradually doing a blog on all the music pieces, and a few of the art and literature pieces.
Now, Psychology class is about to start, so see you guys later.

(BTW, root for me everyone! I made a bet with Takehiko and Shin that I can stay away from manga and anime until the end of school. Super suffering from withdrawal right now... must resist the temptation! >.<)
