August
Welcome to AP Human Geography at White Station High School. This will be a repository for your homework, resources, calendar, and other items of concern. I will expect you to read the entire post from start to finish. Please check back to see if I have changed due dates or even assignment expectations.
I usually will post on Sunday. Within the post I will have it broken down by day. I will usually tell you when work will be expected to be turned in. See below. For the most part, if I assign it on Sunday, it will be due the upcoming Friday unless otherwise indicated.
We usually have a pattern to our homework. First, definitions and then reading samples. I like to give quizzes over readings. Usually, they are simple if you read, hard if you didn't.
I am not sure when you will actually receive your textbook from WSHS,probably late 2nd week or first of third, so assigning real homework will be based on accessing webpages or things I will print off for you. If you do not have access to the Internet away from school, please let me know.
Please know the following schedule is tentative and may change based on the first week variances.
