Monday 30th and Tuesday 31st, March: (WH10) Progress Check #1 & (AP) Review Unit 1

On Monday 30th and Tuesday 31st, March I am going to ask World History 10 students to complete a a progress check for Quarter 4 and the AP World History students will be working on a review for Unit 1. Please read all announcements and foll all instructions carefully:

SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS:

- Your grades for 3rd Quarter are posted and the deadline for work has passed. Your 3rd Quarter grade is based on everything we did before the school dismissal. Everything we have done since the dismissal will go on 4th Quarter.

- For 4th Quarter participation will count for a huge part of your grade. If I ask for something from you, you MUST turn it in by the due date to get full credit. I can not grade you on work that is not submitted!

- Lastly, please remember, if you have ANY concerns/questions/issues, to email me at troy.ball@jordandistrict.org I am available through email Mon-Fri 7a-3p. It may take me a couple of hours to respond, but I will respond same day to any and all emails received by 3p. Thank you.

WH10 Classes ONLY! (5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th periods) Please do the following to complete class for Tuesday 31st, March:

- Please keep your portfolio checklist safe as we will continue to use that portfolio for this unit. You will NOT be adding any updates to the portfolio checklist today.

- Today we are going to do a progress check. 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 Progress Check #1 and it opens, in the upper left hand there is a menu to either print or make a copy:
1) If you wish to have a physical copy, please print the document, fill it in and then send me a picture when completed.
2) If you prefer doing it electronically, click FILE in the menu bar and then click MAKE A COPY and that will make a copy in your Google Drive. Then you can use it, edit it, and fill it in. When completed you will share it with me at troy.ball@jordandistrict.org

- Download a copy of the Progress Check and follow the instructions carefully. This Progress Check in due by Thursday 2nd, April: IMPORTANT: You are ONLY turning in the Progress Check #1. You do NOT need to turn in or share the other work with me.
Quarter 4 Progress Check #1

- Thank you. The rest of this post is for AP.

AP Classes ONLY! (3rd & 4th) Please do the following to complete class for Monday 30th, March:

- If you have not already sent me verification for the portfolio work you have done since the school dismissal, you need to do that ASAP! Please check previous post for further information.

- We will begin our formal review today with Unit 1 and we will be spending two class periods per unit to review. The first part will entail reviewing the material by taking notes, watching videos, and going through your previous work. The second part will include answering questions and doing some practice free-response questions. At this point most review work will be based on participation and you will need to verify that you are doing so. Don't worry about how right now, just do the work and I will let you know when you need to do something.

- For the first part of our Unit 1 Review, please do the following:
1) 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 1
Presentation: AP Review - Unit 1
2) 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.
3) Here are several videos that you can 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. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you take time to go through them.
Video: Overall General Review for Unit 1
Videos: Detailed Review For Unit 1 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 1. Please take the time to check them all out.)

- If you have questions/concerns/issues, please email me and I will help you!

Thank you.
