Day 4 - Quiz Prep

Today in WHAP we talked about the reading quiz we have tomorrow and practiced preparing for it.

     First we went over a Google Slides presentation which basically broke down the reading quiz from a fundamental standpoint, showing all the question varieties and what each type consisted of.

Personally, I'm a little anxious for the reading quiz but I'm confident that the methods I've been doing, note-taking and reviewing over the notes along with reading the chapter study guide should leave me well prepared for our first REAL reading quiz tomorrow.

After this, we had time to do one half of a practice question, and I learned several things from that brief but very enriching and mentally stimulating activity. One lesson I learned was that to answer the prompt quickly, you need to start writing quickly. I spent probably a minute and a half just organizing my thoughts, and then when I started typing I definitely felt that pressure which the time constraints provide. By getting your thoughts out onto the paper/text box quicker it allows you to review over your response a bit so that you can make sure that the question was answered well.

Just to summarize today a bit, we didn't really cover much other than information regarding the reading quiz, so if there would be one thing to take away from today it would be to study for the reading quiz.

With that, the bell rang and we were dismissed. Until tomorrow!

    I like how you explained how Mr. Profitt broke down the slideshow from a fundamental standpoint - since he explained each type of question on the quiz, I think I am prepared to answer the questions.

    Also, your comment about answering the prompts in time is similar to mine (www.whaptales.blogspot.com) because it is hard to come up with an answer right away. I too spent a little too much time thinking, therefore I did not really answer my second question to its entirety.

    Go Cowboys!

Day 1 - Resources and the Division of Time

Image
Wednesday, August 30th, 2017 Today in WHAP, we discussed resources for studying and started talking about periodization.           Today, we started class off by addressing some of the resources we have at our disposal, first in our textbook and then other sources such as the Princeton Review and my personal favorite; Google. What I realized about the textbook today was that it's packed full of helpful resources such as important questions outside the margins, which are then answered in the text, and chapter overviews along with AP questions to help prepare for the big test later in the year. After seeing the all that the AP exam entails, I'm a little anxious for that in the Spring; however I'm sure we'll all be ready for it when the time comes.           Moving on from just the textbook, we also have resources in the study guide like videos to help understand the chapters and very detailed chapter outlines so that we can get a general knowledge of the material

Day 146 - Mega Super Omega Giant Clicker Activity

Today in WHAP we reviewed for the AP exam. We practiced today by using the clicker quiz technology to practice some MC questions for the exam. I did... amazing. Like if that mirrors the AP exam in difficulty I'm finna ace it. That was all we did today, but if you need to review concepts, perhaps concept 3.2, you should check out this neat video online . It's really good and you will understand everything better. It can be found right here . Or here . Maybe here . You should click on it . Also, to the one person that disliked the video... say it to my face, don't hide behind the anonymity of a thumbs down button. With that, the bell rang and we were dismissed. Until Tomorrow!

Day 153 - The Final Reflection

Image
Today in WHAP (or rather several days ago) we had our last class. So to start this reflection off I'm basically going to go over my personal feelings about the class. For starters, lets go from an academic standpoint. Right from the first day, WHAP is probably going to seem scary. You're going to roll up to class, and Mr. Profitt is going to show you some musty image of someone getting sprayed with a fire house, because it's so much information. Sure, their is a lot to learn, but it's really not that bad. And that's kinda what you need to keep in mind in this class. You're going to get some low quiz grades, but there are so many that it will eventually balance out. You may get some bad mastery grades, but with revisions you'll make it an acceptable grade. Same thing with the information; if you kinda stay on top of things it won't be that bad. That's my feeling on this class; I think it was a difficult class but I wouldn't say it's im
