Day 41 - A Farmer, a Blacksmith, and a Tailor walk into a bar

Today in WHAP we took another Clicker Quiz.

We started today off like we normally do on quiz days, in table teams, frantically reviewing all the data on the study guide in order to prepare for the clicker quiz. We then took the quiz, and I'm pretty sure that we got those coveted bonus points again for the quiz. Keep up the good work 6th.

After we took the quiz, we started to continue our notes about how trade is successful, from yesterday. You can see a summary of those on yesterdays blog.

Mr. Profitt started creating this scenario where Jacob was a farmer with chickens, Scheibe a tailor with "dirty" clothes, and Nickols a blacksmith. Mr. Profitt said how the word "dirty" according to some seniors, means cool or neat-o. Then he proceeded to emphasize how "dirty" Scheibe's clothes were. For some reason I feel like the seniors didn't actually say that and he was just taking some shots at Scheibe, but that's just a hypothesis.

The bell rang right after Mr. Profitt assigned roles, so we didn't really see what the point of the whole thing was, but I'm sure it will be continued tomorrow.

Until Tomorrow!

    No. They really use the word dirty to describe awesomeness. I did not make that up. Nor was I taking a shot at Scheibe.

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 81 - Class of 2020 Profits as Mr. Profitt Returns

Today in WHAP we took a clicker quiz. So first, class started off with Mr. Profitt graciously congratulating himself on his triumphant return to room A120, and finally winning his battle with the flue. He still had some battle scars, as one of his eyes had a popped blood vessel, making his eye look a little...demonic. Seems like most of the students have healed back up by now, so I don't foresee the school closing for more sick days anytime soon. After welcoming back Mr. Profitt, we began studying for the clicker quiz. We then took the quiz, and while I hate to be a downer, there is no way that we got the bonus today, just too many questions with multiple wrong answers. But, I'd love to be surprised. After the quiz, we started a lecture on the Early modern world's economy. One of the first things we went over is how most cities have negative impacts in a fiscal sense because they don't really give out much, but take a lot in taxes and other fees. A real world exam
