Day 31 - Mastery Missile Incoming

Today in WHAP we went over the agenda and did a table team activity.

First, we went over the agenda. Notable points are that we have our mastery multiple choice and our LEQ next week...so study over the weekend. Unfortunately we don't have the essay topic this time so it will be a lot harder to come up with an essay on the spot rather than plan in out before hand. Maybe someone (@Mr.Profitt) could hook us up with a few potential essay topics :) We also have a reading quiz on Friday like usual, so prepare to study for that as well.

After going over the agenda, we got into our table teams to do an activity, comparing Period 1 and Period 2. In a nutshell, we went over how period one civilizations were more developed whether it be in religion or in size of empire.

After this we moved onto a PowerPoint about Africa. We brainstormed some associations, much like in an average English class, and then we shared two from each table. The points shared ranged from poverty and poaching to the Shakira song from the world cup...I don't know what's happening over at Asher's table.

Then, 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
