1) Please copy into your Google Drive or print the following assignment, complete it and turn it in by Thursday 21st, May. You will be turning in this progress check to me either by sharing a Google Doc or by sending a picture to me through email. You have two options to do that. When you click the link for the Quarter 4: Progress Check #3 and it opens, in the upper left hand there is a menu to either print or make a copy:
Option A - If you wish to have a physical copy, please print the document, fill it in and then send me a picture when completed.
Option B - If you prefer doing it electronically, click FILE in the menu bar and then click MAKE A COPY and that will allow you to make a copy in your Google Drive. Once you make your copy, you can edit your copy and fill it in. When completed, share it with me at troy.ball@jordandistrict.org
IMPORTANT: You are ONLY turning in Quarter 4 Progress Check #3. You do NOT need to turn in or share the other work with me.
Quarter 4: Progress Check #3
2) Once you have finished your Quarter 4: Progress Check #3 and shared it with me as a picture or Google Doc, you are finished. I will have grades completed by Friday 22nd, May. Please check your grade, as far as I am concerned that will be your FINAL GRADE! (See #4 below for more info)
3) Starting today (Monday 18th, May), you may return your textbook to the main office or media center; however, the school has reduced hours so please call the Main Office @ 801-567-8530 BEFORE going to the school to make sure someone will be there. If you do not return your book, you will be fined for it and it is expensive, so please bring it back!!!
4) If you are dissatisfied with your final grade, you have two options. First and best, the remainder of the year up to Friday 29th, May will be used for anyone who needs make up work, turn in late work, or anything else that affects your grade. There are no penalties, so do your work and get credit. Second, a parent/guardian may email me with a request to change your grade to a 'P' for pass. You will get credit for the class, but it will not affect your GPA. I will only do this with a parent/guardian request and those requests should be made by Friday 29th, May.

Notes: AP Review - Unit 5
Presentation: AP Review - Unit 5
Second, pay careful attention to the vocabulary (bolded terms) in the review. They are not the only ones, of course, but they cover major ideas and concepts. Develop a way to go through them and make sure you KNOW them and can explain them in detail.
Third, there is NO overall review video for Unit 5; however, there are several other more detailed review videos that you can use. You do not have to watch every single second and it is not necessary to take detailed notes on each one. However, they are an excellent source to recap main ideas from the unit. You should take time to go through them.
Videos: Detailed Review For Unit 5 Topics (Notice that on the right hand side of the screen, once you open this video, there is a playlist of several videos associated with Unit 5. Please take the time to check them out.)

- Please check your school email later for important information regarding your AP exam. I plan to have the email sent to you by 10a today.
- Please complete the Unit 4 Review Check and share it with me in Google Docs (preferred method) or print it and share it with me as a picture. This should not take long if you follow the instructions carefully. Do NOT send me anything besides the check and your attached essay. This is due Friday 8th, May!
Unit 4 Review Check
- For the first part of our Unit 5 Review, please do the following:
First, download the following notes and use the presentation to fill them in. The process of writing notes WILL help you remember. As always, you do NOT need to write everything, but enough to remember the main points.
Notes: AP Review - Unit 5
Presentation: AP Review - Unit 5
Second, pay careful attention to the vocabulary (bolded terms) in the review. They are not the only ones, of course, but they cover major ideas and concepts. Develop a way to go through them and make sure you KNOW them and can explain them in detail.
Third, there is NO overall review video for Unit 5; however, there are several other more detailed review videos that you can use. You do not have to watch every single second and it is not necessary to take detailed notes on each one. However, they are an excellent source to recap main ideas from the unit. You should take time to go through them.
Videos: Detailed Review For Unit 5 Topics (Notice that on the right hand side of the screen, once you open this video, there is a playlist of several videos associated with Unit 5. Please take the time to check them out.)
Fourth, do not forget your portfolio materials for Unit 5 and the original presentations from our class that were posted to the blog in Dec-Jan of last year. You will see more information on how to get these at the end of the review presentation from above.
- If you have questions/concerns/issues, please email me and I will help you!
Thank you.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- Midterms are this Friday (tomorrow!). Please check your grade and get things to me by 3:00 pm today if you want them to appear on your midterm grade.
- AP Students I made a few clarifications to the instructions and DBQ rubric. Make sure you red instructions carefully. Also, you should have already done the following survey, if not do it right now!
AP Questionnaire Link
For WH10 students, this is our last formal unit. After this unit we will do a small online end of year project. Please keep up and email me if you have concerns or questions.
- All classes, remember, please follow instructions carefully and check your grades. Please don't wait if there is an issue; let me know ASAP!
WH10 Classes ONLY! (5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th periods) Please do the following to complete class for Friday 1st, May:
- You should have your portfolio checklist. We are going to add the following to that list today:
16) May 1st Reading 34.4 - Latin America since 1989
- Print or copy the following assignment into your Google Drive and use your text to complete:
Reading Guide 34.4 - Latin America since 1989
- Thank you. The rest of this post is for AP.
AP Classes ONLY! (3rd & 4th) Please do the following to complete class for Thursday 30th, April:
- Please complete the Unit 3 Review Check from last post and share it with me in Google Docs or print it and share it with me as a picture. The first option is by far the easiest. This is due TODAY! I will be going through these, answering questions, and grading them tomorrow. Here is the link again: Unit 3 Review Check
IMPORTANT: If you are having issues with your partner, let me know so I can help solve your concerns. You will not be docked for something your partner should have done.
- Again, here is the rubric for the DBQs. If you prefer the official document, there is a link for the official rubric as well. Commit these requirements to memory:
Detailed DBQ Rubric (Written in my words)
College Board Issued Rubric
IMPORTANT: Although the actual test will have only 5 documents to analyze we will be analyzing ALL the documents as we would for a normal DBQ. This will give us more practice and that way the actual test is easier.
- Today we will prepare and analyze documents for Unit 4 so we can write another practice DBQ. You will have two options and you can choose which DBQ to write. You do not have to write both. Today we will focus on analyzing the documents for the DBQ you choose. Please follow the instructions carefully:
1. Familiarize yourself with the prompt and the documents for the DBQ you choose by reading through them. Remember, you are NOT writing the essay today:
Unit 4 DBQ Option A - Prompt and Documents
OR
Unit 4 DBQ Option B - Prompt and Documents
2. Using the following guide, analyze all of the documents using the SOAPS method. It is not necessary or even possible to get answers on every part of the SOAPS, but you should do as much as you can. You should actually write things down, you can use a physical piece of paper or make a Google Doc.
Guide to SOAPS Analysis
3. If you get stuck, have questions, or do not understand something research it or email me. I will help you!
4. Have your analysis ready for next time so we can write the essay. You do NOT have to begin actually writing until next time, but you can start today if you wish..
Thank you.
