What is WHAP? AP World History (aka WHAP) is broken up into 6 Time Periods Period 1-4 you covered last year in 9th Grade, so technically 60% of this class you already know (we will review all of it briefly) New Thinking Skills and writing styles New format for MC SAQ’s LEQ’s DBQ’s (which are much different than Global)

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default. J.K. Rowling

Long Term Outlook September-November: Period 1-4 November-January: Period 5 Mid-Term in January will be on Period 1-5 February-May: Period 6 AP Exam: May 17th, 8am

Obstacles don't have to stop you Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. Michael Jordan

Reading You need to read your book! Time Management! Your book is essential to your learning. We can not cover it all in class Period 1-4 you probably can skim a bit and read what you know you do not know and review anything you think you are shaky on. Remember, this is what you already learned in 9th Grade Period 5&6 you will need to read more thoroughly as this is new material Time Management! Try not to procrastinate. Pay attention to the calendar so that you can try to keep pace with class #timemanagment
