Hello Friends,

Today in WHAP, we began by individually forming 3-5 questions on the material assigned over the weekend.  Next, we formed groups of three to filter out some of the questions.  I then answered any and all questions that the students had.  Next, we took the second quiz of Chapter 20 on Africa during the time of the slave trade.   After the quiz, we grouped up and formed presentations to illustrate the main teachign points from the first half of the Chapter.  We concluded by presenting our findings to the rest of teh class.  For homewrok, each student is to finish reading and outlining the remainder of the Chapter for a quz tomorrow.

Have Fun!

Hello Friends,

Today we began the final week of the term.  First, I assigned the fianl quiz make-ups of the semester to those in need, they are due on the day that they take their final (either Wednesday for Mod 1 students for Thursday for Mod 3 students).  NExt, we formed 3-5 questions per person on issues encountered in the chapter.  Next, we grouped up with two other students to reduce and filter out the number of questions.  Next, we opened the floor up for discussions, and I answered any and all questions from the Chapter.  We then took the second quiz on the Chapter.  Next, I issued a set of Chapter notes and led a lecture discussion on the Renaissance.  For homework, the students are to form five additional questions on the Reformation and the Scientific Revolution to be discussed in class.

Have Fun!

Hello Friends,
Today in WHAP, we began by individually forming 3-5 questions on the material from Chapter 14.  I then answered any questions that the students had.  The students then took the Chapter 14 Test.  After the test, I assigned the Vocabulary for Chapter 15.  Lastly, we completed a reading inference exercise using the map of the known world found on page 333.  For homework, I assigned each student a particular term from the Chapter vocabulary list to create a graphic image highlighting the definition of the term as well as defining all of the terms in their binder.
