Day 22 - LEQ Review and Axial Age

Today in WHAP we went over the agenda for the week and the class diverged separately from their.

First we went over the agenda, with notable points being the reading quiz on Friday and some crash course/strayer scattered like kernels in the wind.

After this, we had some discussion about revisions for the LEQ. Basically what I understood is that if you have a five or a six, revisions are futile and will not help you, which makes sense because with a five or a six you had a pretty good essay anyways. If you get a 4, then corrections barely help with a solid two points, and then for three and under corrections start becoming,in my opinion, worth your time. The reason I say for a four doing corrections isn't necessarily worth it is because you need a perfect essay to try and get those two points, then you aren't really guaranteed to get that score.

After talking about this, then we split up and people either chose to listen to Mr. P talk about LEQ revision help or they worked on a HTS argument for the Axial age. I chose the latter, and spent the rest of class working on that.

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

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
