Good morning (or afternoon) and welcome to APES.
I hope you are all doing well and that nobody is sick from the pandemic. Our family is fine so far, but we are listening to the governor and the experts, keeping our social distance, washing our hands, wearing a mask at the store.
The AP Exam is next Monday, the 18th. I know we didn’t do nearly enough FRQs to get you super prepared, but your competence will shine through nonetheless as you make sure you show them what you’ve learned. Show all your work in math problems and make sure you answer the question being asked. Sometimes in math problems you need to almost work it backwards to see the solution. The College Board website has some practice problems if you want to look.
This week is all about air pollution. It is especially topical during this pandemic that affects a person’s ability to breathe. Your assignment this week:
- Page 415 Checkpoint. Three questions.
- Page 417 Checkpoint. Three more questions.
- Page 419 Checkpoint. Three additional questions.
- Page 424 Checkpoint: 3 questions.
- Page 430 Checkpoint: 3 more for a total of 15 questions.
Those of you doing the AP Exam, you can try the FRQs on page 433-34 This will not be part of your weekly grade, but it may be helpful.
We are actually going to try our video chat again. We meet Monday at 1:40 p.m. The iLearn has the Big Blue Button. https://moodle.dearbornschools.org/course/view.php?id=2247
If any of you want to help me out, I’m going to practice with you at 9 p.m. tonight. Show up and we can iron out any bugs. It’s strictly voluntary. Unlike Monday which is mandatory.
So, I expect to see you all on Monday and hope to see a few of you tonight.
Stay healthy and stay breezy!
