Changes to WHAP Calendar-IMPORTANT!

Hello, WHAP Warriors.

Due to the shortened bell schedule today (and some technology glitches in my class...sigh), we were not able to get through all the presentations in either my class or Ms. Jones class. Therefore, we are pushing your reading quiz to Monday, September 21st. I know, what a bummer. :) Here's what that means for you:

-Tomorrow in class, we will be finishing presentations and starting our China readings and India webquest. That means less homework for you this weekend-yay!
-Monday, you will have your Reading Assessment and access codes for textbooks will be distributed.
-Thursday, you will write a compare/contrast essay for a major grade.
-All other assignments will continue as originally planned.

Please note, all reading pages have been bumped back a day to correspond with this schedule change. The calendar below has been updated.

In case you don't finish the China readings in class tomorrow, I'm still including the links below for your access at home. Let us know if you have any questions!

Just to clarify, you need both the pages included in the links in this blog and the pages from the blog below titled "Pages for Second  Reading Assessment" for your quiz on September 18th!!

Welcome to WHAP!

Hello, everyone!

Welcome to AP World History (WHAP) with Ms. Gillihan and Ms. Jones! We are so excited to have you in class this year. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you during the duration of this class!

This blog is going to be one of our  most-used and most important resources, so get familiar with it! The calendar below will reflect all reading pages you  are responsible for, as well as the dates of all tests, essays, and other major assignments. You can also  comment on any blog, and Ms. Jones or I will get back to you!

Follow us on Twitter, too! We will send you reminders about assignment due dates and answer any questions you have! Ms. Jones is @MsJonesCWWH. Ms. Gillihan is @GillihanHistory.

Tomorrow's the Big Day!!

Well, WHAP warriors, you've made it. Tomorrow is the big day, the day we've been working towards all year. Ms. Jones and I are SO PROUD of you for sticking with this class all year and being such exceptional students. We know you will go into that test tomorrow and conquer it the same way you've conquered class all year. We want you to believe that, too! Be confident....you've got this!

A couple of helpful hints for tomorrow:

1. STOP STUDYING! If you must, go home and study this afternoon, but cut it off at 9:00 PM! Trust me, the one or two facts that you'll cram into your head will not be worth the lack of sleep and the anxiety that you'll give yourself by having an all-night cram session! Again, cut it off at 9:00, do something for an hour or so that you find relaxing, and then GO TO BED! Sleep will help more than you think tomorrow!
2. Eat a good breakfast in the morning! Protein is always a good idea (think eggs or breakfast meat of some kind)! DO NOT FILL UP ON COFFEE! This will make you jittery and anxious, and it will also make you have to use the restroom more quickly.
3. Report to the second gym as soon as you get to school! I know you don't have to be there until 7:30, but get there early! That way you'll be settled in and ready to go, not rushing around trying to get to your test. They will not wait for you if you are late!!!
4. Bring the following items: a jacket, two non-mechanical pencils, and two blue or black pens. You can also bring water and/or a snack for your break, but you cannot have these in the testing room with you.
5. Go in with CONFIDENCE! If you believe you can do it, you'll do it!!!!

Remember, after we explain the project tomorrow, you will get a free day. If you would like to bring snacks/drinks to share with the class, go for it!

Again, Ms. Jones and I are so proud of you, and we know you will do great tomorrow!
