APHG Hawk Hour Review Sessions link...

Hawk Hour Review Session - begins Thursday @10am

Lots of new APHG Information...

APHG STUDENTS... Pay attention to #1

1.  The collegeboard is releasing AP Review sessions on their Youtube Channel.  These review sessions will be held once a week.  Look at the following schedule to access that information.

AP Live Stream Schedule

My understanding is this live stream takes place daily for AP Human Geography from 5-545pm.  I HIGHLY encourage you to take part in these.  It requires no interaction but is a great review.

2.  Our live stream sessions for the week will be Thursday and Friday @10am.  Thursday will be our version of "Hawk Hour" and is geared towards a review for anyone over whatever content they would like to review.  Friday will be our weekly review over this unit's content and will be a good refresher prior to the self-assessment you will take on Friday.

3.  Lastly, today (Wednesday) you need to do the following (if you haven't already):
     -Watch Food Inc. and fill out the analysis
     -Answer the practice FRQ's and self-assess using the attached rubrics.  Use the following years to pick and choose and self assess (rubrics are found here as well):  Click here for FRQ's

Coach Ellis' Students...

World Geography:

Use the corresponding tabs on the right hand side to access information for each assigned unit.  You need to make sure that you have signed up for the Remind101 (text @elliswg20 to 81010) to receive consistent information and updates of what to accomplish.  A pacing guide will be linked to each unit to give you guidance on what to do that day and any due dates that may arise.


AP Human Geography:  

Refer to the corresponding units to have access to all information necessary for each given unit.  The pacing guide is your best option for staying on top of materials.  You MUST stay on top of your work, readings, and assignments.  The AP exam looms and that date is not moving (early May).

Other things to consider if you have not done them already:
-download the iscore5 app
-get a review book

I will also be issuing study tests and materials through the AP Classroom platform.

Please make sure you have signed up for our remind 101 to recieve additional information!!
(@ellisap20 to 81010).

My hours of operation will be 10am-4pm Monday thru Friday.  However, yu can reach me via my email (wesley.ellis@cobbk12.org or hillgroveaphg@gmail.com) or text me directly through our remind101 app at any time you please.  Be on the lookout for updates as we may start multiple social media accounts to help dissmenate information and engage us all.
