1) Please copy into your Google Drive or print the following assignment, complete it and turn it in by Thursday 21st, May. You will be turning in this progress check to me either by sharing a Google Doc or by sending a picture to me through email. You have two options to do that. When you click the link for the Quarter 4: Progress Check #3 and it opens, in the upper left hand there is a menu to either print or make a copy:
Option A - If you wish to have a physical copy, please print the document, fill it in and then send me a picture when completed.
Option B - If you prefer doing it electronically, click FILE in the menu bar and then click MAKE A COPY and that will allow you to make a copy in your Google Drive. Once you make your copy, you can edit your copy and fill it in. When completed, share it with me at troy.ball@jordandistrict.org
IMPORTANT: You are ONLY turning in Quarter 4 Progress Check #3. You do NOT need to turn in or share the other work with me.
Quarter 4: Progress Check #3
2) Once you have finished your Quarter 4: Progress Check #3 and shared it with me as a picture or Google Doc, you are finished. I will have grades completed by Friday 22nd, May. Please check your grade, as far as I am concerned that will be your FINAL GRADE! (See #4 below for more info)
3) Starting today (Monday 18th, May), you may return your textbook to the main office or media center; however, the school has reduced hours so please call the Main Office @ 801-567-8530 BEFORE going to the school to make sure someone will be there. If you do not return your book, you will be fined for it and it is expensive, so please bring it back!!!
4) If you are dissatisfied with your final grade, you have two options. First and best, the remainder of the year up to Friday 29th, May will be used for anyone who needs make up work, turn in late work, or anything else that affects your grade. There are no penalties, so do your work and get credit. Second, a parent/guardian may email me with a request to change your grade to a 'P' for pass. You will get credit for the class, but it will not affect your GPA. I will only do this with a parent/guardian request and those requests should be made by Friday 29th, May.

Notes: AP Review - Unit 5
Presentation: AP Review - Unit 5
Second, pay careful attention to the vocabulary (bolded terms) in the review. They are not the only ones, of course, but they cover major ideas and concepts. Develop a way to go through them and make sure you KNOW them and can explain them in detail.
Third, there is NO overall review video for Unit 5; however, there are several other more detailed review videos that you can use. You do not have to watch every single second and it is not necessary to take detailed notes on each one. However, they are an excellent source to recap main ideas from the unit. You should take time to go through them.

This should not take long if you follow the instructions carefully. Do NOT send me anything besides the check and your attached essay. This is due Friday 8th, May!
Unit 4 Review Check
- For the first part of our Unit 5 Review, please do the following:
First, download the following notes and use the presentation to fill them in. The process of writing notes WILL help you remember. As always, you do NOT need to write everything, but enough to remember the main points.
Notes: AP Review - Unit 5
Presentation: AP Review - Unit 5
Second, pay careful attention to the vocabulary (bolded terms) in the review. They are not the only ones, of course, but they cover major ideas and concepts. Develop a way to go through them and make sure you KNOW them and can explain them in detail.
Third, there is NO overall review video for Unit 5; however, there are several other more detailed review videos that you can use. You do not have to watch every single second and it is not necessary to take detailed notes on each one. However, they are an excellent source to recap main ideas from the unit. You should take time to go through them.
Videos: Detailed Review For Unit 5 Topics (Notice that on the right hand side of the screen, once you open this video, there is a playlist of several videos associated with Unit 5. Please take the time to check them out.)
Fourth, do not forget your portfolio materials for Unit 5 and the original presentations from our class that were posted to the blog in Dec-Jan of last year. You will see more information on how to get these at the end of the review presentation from above.
- If you have questions/concerns/issues, please email me and I will help you!
Thank you.

1. Familiarize yourself with the prompt and the documents by reading through them. Remember, you are NOT writing the essay today:
Unit 3 DBQ - Prompt and Documents
2. Using the following guide, analyze all 7 of the documents using the SOAPS method. It is not necessary or even possible to get answers on every part of the SOAPS, but you should do as much as you can. You should actually write things down, you can use a physical piece of paper or make a Google Doc.

3. If you get stuck, have questions, or do not understand something research it or email me. I will help you!
4. Have your analysis ready for next time so we can write the essay. Do NOT write it until I say.

Third, here are several videos that you should also use. You do not have to watch every single second and it is not necessary to take detailed notes on each one. However, they are an excellent source to recap main ideas from the unit. You should take time to go through them.
Video: Overall General Review for Unit 2
Videos: Detailed Review For Unit 2 Topics (Notice that on the right hand side of the screen, once you open this video, there is a playlist of several videos associated with Unit 2. Please take the time to check them all out.)
- If you have questions/concerns/issues, please email me and I will help you! (However, remember the announcement above for the break.)
Thank you.

Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd, April: (WH10) Nationalism Around the World & (AP) Practice Essay for Unit 1 Review
On Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd, April I am going to ask World History 10 students to begin looking at nationalism and independence movements around the world starting after WWI and the AP World History students will be completing a practice review essay for Unit 1. Please read all announcements and foll all instructions carefully:
SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- First, I want to say how much I am impressed with the those of you have completed your work and are keeping up with what I am expecting. These are unusual and difficult times and your work is noticed and appreciated. Also, I am dependent on your honesty through this crisis and this is one of those moments that reveals our moral character as individuals and as a community. Thank you to those who are being honest, because it will be you who pull us through this.
- Second, please do NOT ignore, put off, or avoid any issues, concerns, or problems you may be having with World History. There is absolutely nothing that we can not resolve, if you talk to me!
- Third, next week is Spring Break. I am not expecting you to do ANYTHING for this class during the break. Of course, you are free to do so, if you choose. However, beginning Saturday 4th through Sunday 12th I will NOT be available nor will I be answering emails. I will resume work on Monday 13th, April. I really, really hope that you can take a break as well. If you have concerns during the break, do not worry and we will address them when we return.
WH10 Classes ONLY! (5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th periods) Please do the following to complete class for Thursday 2nd, April:
- If you have not done PROGRESS CHECK #1 from the last post, do so ASAP! If you are new to the class, you do not need to do this.
- If you are new to our class, you will need to download what we call a Portfolio Checklist, the link is just below. Put your name on it and ignore #s 1-8 and just begin with #9 (see below) For those of you who are not new, you should have one already and filled out 1-8. Please see previous posts, if you are missing anything.
Link to Portfolio Checklist
- On your portfolio checklist, please add the following:
9) Apr 2 Reading Guide 29.1 - Nationalism in the Middle East
- To begin our look at the next part of our unit, we need to briefly recap some things from the Ottoman Empire, but there is a lot of new info here as well. Print or copy into your Google Drive the following assignment and have it completed by next class (Monday 14th, April). I would recommend knocking it out by this Friday before break.
World History 10: Reading Guide 29.1 - Nationalism in the Middle East
- Thank you. The rest of this post is for AP.
AP Classes ONLY! (3rd & 4th) Please do the following to complete class for Wednesday 1st, April:
- If you have not already sent me verification for the portfolio work (not review work) you have done since the school dismissal, you need to do that ASAP! This work is a required part of your 4Q grade.
- For our review practice essays I am pairing you up with another person. Most of you will be in a 3rd/4th period partnership. Please check the list below and note that blue is 3rd period and red is 4th period. Notice the email address and send your partner an email making sure you are in contact with each other. I am only allowed to share school issued emails, so if you prefer another email, you will have to work that out with your partner.
Class Partners and Emails
- For our first practice essay, we are going to revisit the Compare/Contrast essay. Comparing and contrasting is a critical thinking skill. Please create a new Google Doc and use the following rubric to write your essay. You should challenge yourself and write all that you can without using notes or outside help. If you get stuck, you may reference your work or review materials; however, remember that on the test you will NOT be able to do so.
Prompt and Rubric for Comparative Essay
IMPORTANT: Include your name and period in the document name and at the top of the document itself. Do NOT include other headings or information as they are not necessary. You need a minimum of 2 full pages of writing, double spaced, but no more than 3 pages.
- When finished you will share your essay with your partner and he or she will do the same. I would recommend that you do NOT give each other editing rights. Simply copy each other's essays into your drives and edit from there like you do with the documents I share. Next, using the rubric, grade your partner's essay thoroughly and be honest with them. Remember, since it is a Google Doc you have copied you can highlight stuff, edit, etc., etc. When finished, share your grading and suggestions with them.
- Have this done by Friday 3rd, April so we can enjoy Spring Break without work!
- You will be sharing these essays with me as well, but not yet. On Friday 3rd April I will give you further instruction on how I want you to verify participation in the Unit 1 Review and this practice essay writing.
- As always, I am here if you need help or have questions of any kind. Do not hesitate to send me an email. If you have concerns with your partner, let me know and we will work it out
Thank you.

- Update your portfolio checklist as follows (If you need items #1-7, please check the previous posts):

You can copy the files I provide links for into your Google Drive and keep everything electronically OR you can print it out and have physical copies of the work. Whichever way you choose, you will have to prove that you have been doing the work and will turn these things in at a later date. Be diligent!

Third, please do not ignore or blow off my expectations and then expect to fix things after the fact. If you have ANY problems, concerns, frustrations, email me before the deadline and we will take care of it. I understand these are unusual times, but if we communicate there is nothing that can't be resolved.
Fourth, everything you have worked on since the school closure will go on 4th QUARTER's grade. That will include everything on the portfolio checklist (listed below).

AP Classes ONLY! (3rd & 4th) Please make note of the following updates:
- Important: All of this information is to the best of my knowledge and what I am getting right now. Please be aware that the situation may change.

Please check these posts for edits a couple times a day (morning & evening) to make sure you are getting what you need

e) The College Board is putting up free online review courses starting this Wednesday 25th, March (More info to follow).
f) Based on your responses to the questions below, we will either do a quick finishing of the course or we will begin reviewing and practicing more essay writing.

2) Put your name and AP REVIEW OPTIONS in the title.
3) Answer the following questions in the email:
- Do you know how to access AP classroom? It can be found HERE. I know we all signed up for it, but have not used it. I am just asking do you know how to get to AP classroom.
- Do you want to finish the course, knowing that what we cover now will not be tested, or do you prefer beginning the review?
- I would like to give you credit for the work you did since the closure. What would be the fairest and honest way to grade the work you have done since the closure? (Items #1-4 on your portfolio. You can check that HERE)
- Unless something changes, I am not anticipating making a new post until Wednesday for AP. That will give me time to gather your responses and decide how to proceed.
Thank you.
SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS:
First, please make sure you are reading the right expectations. AP is for 3rd & 4th periods. WH10 is for 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th periods.
Second, all late / makeup work and test corrections for 3rd QUARTER are due by this Thursday 26th, March at 3pm! The work for 3rd QUARTER was everything up to and including the Unit 6 Test. The grade you now see in Skyward is your final grade for 3rd Quarter, unless you do something by Thursday.
Third, please do not ignore or blow off my expectations and then expect to fix things after the fact. If you have ANY problems, concerns, frustrations, email me before the deadline and we will take care of it. I understand these are unusual times, but if we communicate there is nothing that can't be resolved.
Fourth, everything you have worked on since the school closure will go on 4th QUARTER's grade. That will include everything on the portfolio checklist (listed below). You will not turn in anything from that portfolio until I ask for it; however, you should be keeping it together either physically or electronically.
WH10 Classes ONLY! (5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th periods) Please do the following to complete class for Tuesday 24th, March:
- Update your portfolio checklist as follows (If you need items #1-6, please check the previous post):
7) Mar 24 Reading Guide 31.3 - Cold War Conflicts
- Remember, you are NOT turning anything in yet. You are keeping it in a portfolio. You have two options and may do whichever one is easiest for you. You can copy the files I provide links for into your Google Drive and keep everything electronically OR you can print it out and have physical copies of the work. Whichever way you choose, you will have to prove that you have been doing the work and will turn these things in at a later date. Be diligent!
- Download the following book work and complete it by Wednesday 25th, March.
World History 10: Reading Guide 31.3 -Cold War Conflicts
- This coming Monday 30th, March we will be doing our first check/quiz on the work you have done since the closure. Please make sure all items, (including what you get this Wednesday) are completed in your portfolio. This is just a check and you will be able to use the work to complete it.
- Thank you, the rest of this post is for AP students only.
AP Classes ONLY! (3rd & 4th) Please make note of the following updates:
- Important: All of this information is to the best of my knowledge and what I am getting right now. Please be aware that the situation may change. Instead of making multiple posts each day, I will simply edit/update this post as needed and as a result it may change. Please check these posts for edits a couple times a day (morning & evening) to make sure you are getting what you need
- There are some major changes as to how the rest of the year is going to go and how you will be taking your final AP test:
a) The test is now a 45 minute free-response test that will be done online and at home.
b) There will be two test times to choose from (That will be made public on Friday 3rd, April)
c) There will not be a multiple choice section.
d) The test will only cover the information we learned up to the end of Unit 6 (Industrialization & Imperialism). It will NOT cover any of the material from WWI or later.
e) The College Board is putting up free online review courses starting this Wednesday 25th, March (More info to follow).
f) Based on your responses to the questions below, we will either do a quick finishing of the course or we will begin reviewing and practicing more essay writing.
- I need ALL AP students to do the following ASAP:
1) Send me an email from your school assigned email (preferred) or the email you have been using since the closure. This email will be shared with the class for review purposes, so use the school issued one if you can.
2) Put your name and AP REVIEW OPTIONS in the title.
3) Answer the following questions in the email:
- Do you know how to access AP classroom? It can be found HERE. I know we all signed up for it, but have not used it. I am just asking do you know how to get to AP classroom.
