1. Assignment for 4/15-4/16: complete the "Unit 4 Test Study Guide (Spring 2020)" that is posted to my blog. It is the first thing listed under Unit 4 Resources. It is due by tomorrow night at midnight. Use any resource that is available to you, but I'm not interested in reading definitions for each response. I need you to explain what is significant or important to know about each item listed. Any questions? Just ask.... 2. Friday is the last day I will accept anything assigned from the three weeks prior to Spring Break. APWH 1. Assignment for 4/15-4/16: watch the last two videos (Mongols and State Building) posted at the very bottom of Units 1-2 Resources. As you watch hand write an outline that covers each video. You should have a one-page outline on the Mongols and a second one-page outline on State-Building. Make sure you include content/information on the Mongols/State-building and any strategies (thesis, evidence, context, etc.) that they cover for taking the AP exam. 2. AP Classroom FRQ/DBQ Exercise - Go back into AP Classroom and complete the following 3 steps.
4. Friday is the last day that I will accept anything that was assigned prior to Spring Break. For HWG & APWH
1. It will take me a day or two to get caught up with grading so please be patient. It is a slower process now that all of the work you are turning in to me is through emails, etc. 2. Please keep in mind that increases in your overall grade will probably happen incrementally. The reason for this is that all of the grades that I'm putting in to Synergy are Daily and Quiz grades and there were already quite a few of these grades in those categories before March 13. 3. At this time I am unable to offer any more unit test type assessments. I am looking into the possibility of having one more for each class, but I cannot promise this right now. APWH 1. I will be hosting a Zoom session this afternoon at 1:30 P.M. We will be discussing the FRQ/DBQ that was assigned from AP Classroom prior to Spring Break. I will send out a Remind with the Session # and password as I've been advised not to post them to my blog. I'm sure that most of you are pros with it by now, but it will be my first time using it so there may be a learning-curve for me. 2. Please check out yesterday's post and view the two videos that were linked on my blog. It's "good stuff!" HWG 1. Just a reminder that the online map quiz scores are due to me by midnight tonight. All three will be averaged together for one quiz grade. For both classes: Honors World Geography & AP World History
1. We are now in review mode. All remaining assignments should reflect this, but many of you will not be completing these assignments because you are not attempting to improve your grade to the next highest letter grade. That is fine of course, but please view all videos and try to participate in any Zoom sessions so that you are in the best possible position to score better on the AP Exam in May. 2. Assignments for 4/13 and 4/14:
HWG 1. Assignment (daily grade) for 4/13-14 (this is only for students attempting to improve their grade to the next highest letter grade):
Email: [email protected] Remind for AP World History: https://remind.com/join/2dhd29b Remind for Honors World Geography: https://remind.com/join/87h9ccg HWg & APWH
1. Just a heads-up that I am starting to put in grades for those students who are still attempting to improve their grade from one letter grade to the next higher letter grade. If you already have an A in the course then your grade is the highest it can possibly be for GPA purposes and your work will not be graded. The grades that are being added are ones that will improve your grade, even if it's just a little. Please email/Remind me ASAP if you have any questions about why something was not added to the grade-book. HWG 1. The Padlet grade includes the graphic organizer and only a few students sent me that handout at this time. Without that completed handout your Padlet grade would start at an 80. Please complete this handout and send it to me if you want a high Padlet grade to the grade-book. APWH 1. Only a few Business Cards grades were added to the grade-book because they were high enough to improve someone's overall grade. HWG & APWH
1. There are no assignments or posts this week, but please submit any work assigned and completed over the previous three weeks if you have chosen to continue working on improving your overall grade. These assignments (any or all) are due no later than Monday, 4/13. You can do this in one of the following ways: 1) scanning 2) taking a picture 3) a screenshot 4) completing an electronic version (Word, PowerPoint, etc.). 2. Any questions? Just shoot me an email or Remind. Attention AP World History!
1. AP World History Exam Revisions: Check out this document. It contains information on the revised APWH Exam for 2020. 2. Somethings to consider:
HWG & APWH
1. All students now have the choice to accept their grade as of March 13 or continue to work on improving their grade. You do NOT have to let me know. If you are okay with your grade then then you can just decide not to turn in any more work. Your grade will not change. If you are going to continue to work to improve your grade it would certainly help me if you could send me an email or Remind letting me know as much. 2. I have one more grade, from before March 13, to add to each class, but I will only put it in if it improves your grade. For HWG it is the Nations Project & Presentation and for APWH it is the Book Test. 3. I am sorry for those of you who have worked diligently to complete all of the work that I have assigned over the last three weeks and now you realize that it didn't necessarily matter. That decision was out of my hands. I certainly understand and respect that decision though. For those of you who will continue to work on improving your grade those grades will be included in your attempt to improve your overall grade as long is it helps your grade. 4. I've decided to hold off on posting instructions on the use of Google Classroom for now, but it is likely that I will use it for some of the work that is completed after spring break. APWH only: I will continue to use AP Classroom for many of the AP Exam review activities. I think it's crucial that all of you continue to complete the work that I assign from that platform because of how it can help you get ready for the AP exam. Standby for a post from me later today that addresses the revised exam, etc. as College Board is releasing more information around noon today. HWG & APWH
1. Just a heads-up that I will be sending out instructions for signing up for Google Classroom by the end of the day. I'm going to try this platform for turning in some of the assignments that have already been assigned and most of the new ones going forward. 2. I'm still waiting for the official word to put a few grades into Synergy. I have assignments graded for both classes, but I'm in a "holding pattern" right now. Grading online work will take me a bit longer to grade so please be patient. 3. I'm assigning due dates so you will finish one thing and be able to concentrate on another. If you were unable to complete something on time and still want to complete it just let me know. It's not a big deal, but I may end up taking off a few points for the assignment being late. 4. HWG - My plan is to stay in Unit 4 (East and Southeast Asia) for at least one more week after spring break. I'm in no hurry to get to Unit 5 (Latin America) at this point. 5. APWH - My plan is to finish Units 5-6 tomorrow (4/3) and that way you will not have any assignments over spring break. From April 20 on we will review Units 1-6 and look at writing the DBQ more proficiently. I will be unavailable today for office hours (10:30-12:00), but I will check my email and Remind messages and respond to them by the end of the day. It's back to normal tomorrow and Friday.
