HOMEWORK DIRECTIONS and CALENDAR Please note: you will receive ONE paper copy of this calendar.
If you lose it you must download and print it at home.
The most successful WHAP students are those who do all of the reading and notes. Performance on exams correlates to purposeful reading, note-taking and engagement in class discussions. DON’T GET BEHIND!! Formatting: 1. Heading: In the top RIGHT HAND CORNER of your paper, include your NAME, HOUR and the CHAPTER
NUMBER and PAGE NUMBERS of the assignment. 2. Divide your paper into two columns: Left 1/3 and Right 2/3 (Cornell style without summary section). 3. Use the left-hand column for headings, terms and discussion questions. 4. Use the right-hand column for your notes, which can be in any format that is useful to you: bullet points, numbers
and letters, etc. Where to Begin: 5. RED sections: write these headings in left-hand column. Notes not necessary but maybe include 1-2 main ideas if
it helps. 6. BLUE sections: these are the headings listed on your calendar. Write them out in the left-hand column and take
detailed notes on these in the right-hand column. 7. Take notes on all content under the BLUE sections on the pages listed for full credit (not just terms). The
exceptions are the pages that include “Sources from the Past” (primary sources). You are not required to take notes on these boxes unless they are specifically assigned in the Homework Calendar.
8. Important terms to be written in the left-hand column with notes on the terms in the right-hand column. 9. Discussion Questions: these are mostly from your readings (some will be connections to previous discussions or
lessons). Sometimes I will discuss these in class, sometimes I won’t. DQs should be included in the left-hand columns next to their corresponding content. Leave some room to add content from in-class discussions.
Miscellaneous: 10. All readings are due on the date listed. 11. Notes are worth 3 points per blue section. 12. When beginning a new ‘Part’ (Unit) of the text, always read the tan colored 2-page introduction. It isn’t necessary
to take notes but it provides a good overview and it connects directly to WHAP Themes. 13. When beginning a new chapter in the text you should also read the first couple pages to get the ‘big picture’ of the
whole chapter and read the paragraphs between the RED sections and the start of the BLUE sections for the same reason. Notes are only required for the BLUE sections.
14. When an assignment begins in the middle of a chapter, make sure you start reading with the closest RED section but start your notes with a BLUE section.
15. Pay attention to the page numbers and the BLUE sections listed on the calendar. Sometime I skip some BLUE sections. At the very least, preview the smaller green headings throughout any skipped BLUE sections.
16. Don’t skip over the boxes labeled “Thinking About Traditions” and “Thinking About Encounters”. Make sure you read them and include any important info in your notes.
17. Additional Readings: a. Primary sources should be analyzed in your notes using the SOAPS guidelines (more info later). b. Academic articles should be highlighted for thesis, main ideas and evidence.
18. Thematic Period Reviews: These assignments are intended to help you gather content in a thematic format for review purposes. More directions to come.
19. Skill Development Days: these are inserted into the calendar to 1) give us an extra day with some content, 2) allow us to devote entire days to writing skills and 3) to give us some wiggle room if we get behind in our schedule. Homework for these days will generally involved a short writing assignment, to be determined.
20. Homework directions and calendar are subject to change throughout the trimester!! 21. If I discover that your notes are not your own, you will receive a ZERO.
