SPRING BREAK!

Hello Cats,

I miss all of you! I miss class. I miss class discussions, but this is important. Practice social distancing.

Technically, you do not have to log in to Canvas or Connect during spring break; however, you can use this time to get ahead.

IMPORTANT: No matter what, please make sure that you write down/remember your you login and password to Connect! A week is a long time, should you choose to take it off.ย 

This is what we need to accomplish before the AP test (which is still happening as of right now, possibly online at home).

  1. LearnSmarts for all 12 Chapters that we will cover this year. (Chapters 1-12)
  2. 30MC Quizzes for All 12 Chapters that we cover. (Chapters 1-12)
  3. Practice Free-Response Essays — If we are out of school, these WILL require ZOOM. Download the app–do not make an account. ๐Ÿ™‚
    • How to Write Them (in-Depth)
    • How to GRADE Them (in-Depth)
    • Timed Practice Writings
  4. Cake. (It’s a dessert. I make them.)

You are allowed to work ahead as much as you want. It’s highly recommended:

  • You can complete LearnSmarts in advance. I will be assigning all of them, do them early.
  • After you complete a LearnSmart, why not take your first attempt on the 30MC Quiz? First attempts will be assigned first, and scored out of 20.ย 

Hope you are all well, taking care of yourselves, reading for fun, and hanging with siblings. (Poor Katie doesn’t have any.)

Best,

Mrs. Short

P.S. I might be hosting a trial Zoom session during Spring Break that is fully-optional to attend, but it might be good practice for you as well.

NOTE: The pace will pick up after this week. Starting Monday, April 6, there will be more review in order to prepare of the AP Psychology test. Please study! Read your 5 Steps to a 5. ๐Ÿ™‚
