Popplet Outline for Synthesis: Instructions: Please be advised that you are responsible for creating your Popplet for each assigned unit/topic. This is a creative assignment that you will use to help you study for your AP exam and EOC. You are responsible for including all texts, authors, and important terms for each unit/topic on your Popplet. The outline I am providing is a suggestion based on what we have learned in class so far. All of the items listed are important texts, terms, and concepts we have studied so far; however, you are not limited to the items on this outline. Please be sure to include images, videos, and links on your Popplet. For future units, you must create your own Popplet outline throughout the duration of the unit; however, you may use this outline, your Popplet, and the feedback provided by me to guide your future Popplet additions.
