Textbook Access Instructions

Hello, WHAP Warriors!

Here are the instructions for how to access your online textbook! They are allowing us access much earlier this year than last year...yay! Your access code will be given to you in class. Please log on immediately to make sure you can read the book online. If you have any issues, the pages for the first quiz are included in PDF format in the previous blog.

Welcome to WHAP!

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!

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 7th. 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. Remember, your notes must be in your own handwriting and must be taken in the 3rd section of your 5-subject spiral notebook.

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. You can leave your backpacks in Ms. Gillihan or Ms. Jones' rooms. Then, report to the second gym! 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!

Thursday and Friday (3/3, 3/4)

If you are going to be absent Thursday and/or Friday, here is the assignment so you can still get it done.

On Thursday, we are watching a video called "Hitler and Stalin: Roots of Evil." You can find this at the link below or by going to www.youtube.com and searching for "Hitler and Stalin Roots of Evil." As you watch the video, make a Venn Diagram comparing Hitler and Stalin.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u7j3zDxWl8

On Friday, we will be having a debate/discussion about who was worse, Hitler or Stalin. Your Venn Diagram will count as your written portion for the debate. If you are going to be absent on Friday, you need to write an 8-10 sentence paragraph with your argument: Who was worse, Hitler or Stalin? Pick one and back it up with facts from the video and any additional information you may know.

This will be a daily grade.
