Day 34 - Reading Quiz

Today in WHAP we took our reading quiz over chapter six.

First, as we arrived to class, Mr. Donahue immediately set a timer for 15 minutes, and we jumped right into our table team review. We spent most of the time reviewing key terms, but after we finished with those we did margin review questions until the time ran out. Then we took the quiz.

Today's quiz wasn't too difficult in the grand scheme of quizzes, in my opinion. I think the quizzes are slowly becoming easier as crafting excellent SARs and HTS' becomes easier.

Short blog as usual on a quiz day, and looking forward to a FULL week of school next week. Just so you are informed, Ranger Day is an actual day of school, so if you want to stay home and play Minecraft (Silas), you'll have to bring your PC with you to school and play then.

We finished the quiz, and we were dismissed. Until Monday!

      I cannot think of a better way to enjoy learning about WHAP during Ranger Day. This truly is the age of technology in which teachers can utilize fun learning tools to engage students while teaching historically accurate life ways. Minecraft bridges WHAP studying and recreational entertainment to provide the "best of both worlds" one could say. Clearly Notch designed this magnificent platform, Minecraft, in order to help provide that historical education WHAP students never could have dreamed of before.

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
