All students in both the World History AP Modern and the Model UN courses should download the following apps on each of the devices they plan to use for class:

• Microsoft Teams (Through Launchpad)
• Microsoft OneNote (Through Launchpad)
• Microsoft Word (Through Launchpad)
• Flipgrid

WHAPM Students, you will need:

• a blue/black/or purple ink pen for anything written that is then turned in.
• You will also likely want a pencil for quizzes that have an answer form that needs to have answers bubbled in.
• You will also want to keep a detailed notebook of class notes, reading notes, and assignments.
  • However, I will not pick up this notebook and encourage you to use whatever notebook system that has worked for you previously. Meaning you can use a binder with dividers, you can have the whole binder dedicated to just World History AP Modern (WHAPM) or have it as a section of a larger binder. If you are having a binder just for WHAPM, I would suggest you get a 1 1/2 or 2 inch three-ring binder. You may use a spiral again, just for WHAPM or a section of a larger spiral.
  • If you are a real notetaker, you will likely want to get a spiral just for WHAPM. Get a size you are comfortable using as it is likely that you will fill up the first one.

Model UN/AP Capstone Students, you will need:

• A WHITE Binder with a clear cover insert (1 1/2 in or 2 in)
