Welcome to World History AP (WHAP)! We are so excited to have you in class this year. You are the best of the best, and we're lucky to be your teachers! Despite what you've heard, WHAP is a very manageable course...you just have to stay on top of things and ask us for help whenever you need it!
The most important thing we want to emphasize to you is that we are not behind, playing catch-up, or in a rush, so PLEASE DO NOT STRESS! :) Right now, we understand that many of you have priorities with your family related to Hurricane Harvey, and we respect and support you in this. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your teacher if you are in need of help or have ANY kind of concern. We are here for you, and the safety and well-being (both physical and mental!) of you and your family are our utmost priority!
For your first couple of homework assignments, you'll be utilizing some of the links in the top right-hand corner. You can always double-check your homework or upcoming assignments by scrolling to the bottom of the page and viewing the calendar. Please be aware that you may need to actually click on the assignment and expand it to see the full extent of the assignment. Let us know if you have questions!
Your first reading quiz is scheduled for September 22nd. If you keep up with the pages as we assign them, it's not hard to stay on top of things! To help you do this, we have scanned PDFs of the first set of reading pages since you don't have access to your online textbook quite yet. Here are the links where you can find the PDFs. If you are in need of hard copies, these can be printed in the library, or you can ask your teacher for a set! Remember, your notes must be in your own handwriting and must be taken in the 3rd section of your 5-subject spiral notebook.

Looking forward to a great year, Wildcats!
