Weekly Update!

I hope everyone had a great Spring Break, but unfortunately (or fortunately depending on the person) it's time to begin school yet again.

This week's agenda:

Monday -

  • AP Human Geography (Mr. Sutton) - Bring in the three topics that have interested you the most that have been covered in class, with recent news articles and your written responses on why you are so interested in the topics.
  • IB Theatre I (Mrs. Brooks) - The research investigation will be due. Remember that the SL word limit is 1500-1750, while the HL word limit is 2000-2500. Even though this is a rough draft, it will be the ONLY draft, so try to do extremely well, as it will count 25% of your final IB Theatre grade (from 1-7). Remember as well that if it is late for ANY reason, your grade will be counted off 50%.

Tuesday -

  • IB World Geography (Mr. Sutton) - There will presumably be a notebook check. Vocabulary required, in addition to that required from last semester, will be Chapters 6, 10, 12, and 13. You also need to find three topics that have interested you the most that have been covered in class, find a recent news article and write a response for each about why you are interested in that specific topic. To clarify, you need three topics covered by three articles accompanied by three responses.
  • AP Calculus BC (Mr. Bobbitt) - We will begin a full-length practice AP exam, beginning with non-calculator multiple choice.

Wednesday -

  • AP Calculus BC (Mr. Bobbitt) - We will continue the practice AP exam with calculator multiple choice. Remember to round to three decimal places if necessary.
  • AP U.S. History (Mr. Rose) - We will be having a quiz that is impossible to study for. This serves simply as a reminder to stay in "testing mindset", I suppose.
  • AP Chemistry (Mrs. Smith) - The outline for Chapter 20 of the textbook will be due.

Thursday -

  • AP English Literature and Composition (Mr. Murray) - 20 notecards will be due for World Literature Paper I for those going on the Chem field trip on Friday. Notecards are only required to have the quotes on them.
  • AP Calculus BC (Mr. Bobbitt) - We will continue the practice AP exam with calculator free response. Remember to round to three decimal places if necessary.
  • AP Biology (Ms. Bidwell) - There will be a free-response test. Everyone should be prepared to answer one of five prompts:
  • 2000 Ques. 4
  • 2002 Ques. 2
  • 2002 B Ques. 4
  • 2003 Ques. 3
  • 2005 B Ques. 1 - A scoring guideline for this prompt is available at the official College Board site: http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/ap/students/biology/ap05_sg_biology_b.pdf
Friday - ALL JUNIORS IN CHEMISTRY WILL BE GOING TO UWF FOR THE LAB FIELD TRIP. LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED.
  • AP English Literature and Composition (Mr. Murray) - 20 notecards will be due for World Literature Paper I. Notecards are only required to have the quotes on them.
  • AP Calculus BC (Mr. Bobbitt) - We will end the practice AP exam with non-calculator free response. Also, calculator lab #14 will be due. Remember that this will be the first and only draft, and it WILL affect the AP portion of your nine weeks grade.
