On Monday 23rd and Tuesday 24th, March I am going to ask you to please carefully read all announcements. AP students will likely begin reviewing for their final exam; WH10 students will continue their look at the Cold War.
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.
- 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.
