Day 5 - Reading Quiz

Today in WHAP, we did some last minute reviewing for the quiz, and then we took the greatly anticipated reading quiz.

For reviewing, we got in our table teams and broke some of the questions down from a fundamental standpoint, which was very helpful as it always is. Sometimes it can be nice to have a different perspective than your own if you find a certain question difficult, and that's why the table teams are so effective.

After voicing some of our questions to the class, we started our reading quiz. I personally was very nervous going into the quiz, but once I started the quiz and got rolling it really wasn't that difficult. i was able to finish the quiz a few minutes early so I was able to re-check over some of my short answers to make sure and stick in a few key words.

For homework tonight we get the privilege of watching my favorite TV show, Crash Course, and it's also recommended that we read some of the textbook pages. Class once again really revolved around the reading quiz today, but expect more juicy and thrilling content tomorrow once we begin more class discussions and slide shows.

After taking the quiz, we where about to talk about the answers to some of the multiple choice questions, but then

the bell rang and we were dismissed. Until tomorrow!

    Again, I like how you broke down the questions from a fundamental standpoint. I never thought to do that! Like you, I was nervous going into the quiz, but unlike you, I was rushing to finish! (read the full story at whaptales.blogspot.com) I will be expecting some more juicy and thrilling content tomorrow.

    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
