Good morning, WHAP warriors!

If you turn in a 100% completed review tomorrow before your test,  you can earn 5 bonus points on your test.

Please plan on rearranging your schedule if you need to use your retest opportunity on this test. You will have Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons to do so.

Big Week in WHAP-Important Reminders!

Hi WHAP warriors!

We have a big week and a half coming up in WHAP, so here are some important reminders:

1. We have a major grade compare/contrast essay tomorrow over the fall of empires. You may use your compare/contrast "how to" sheet and a 3x5 notecard, front only, on your essay. If you do not pass, you can choose to use your one retest per six weeks on this.

2. We have our third and final reading quiz of the 6 weeks on Monday, 9/29 over pages 93-106, 90-91, and the Crash Course Christianity. This is an assessment grade. Remember, your lowest assessment grade can be replaced by doing the extra credit storybook assignment. Check your green sheet for due dates.

3. We have our first multiple choice exam (and final major grade) next Wednesday, October 1st. We will get your grades in for you by 7th period. If you fail and choose to use your one retest on this exam, it must be completed by Friday afternoon, October 3rd. Please start adjusting your schedule if you think you might want to do this. We will be offering retests on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons (October 1st, 2nd, and 3rd).

Let us know if you have any questions!
