SIRMON WHAP CALENDAR 2015 – 2016
Chapter reading quizzes and note checks are on Wednesdays. Other chapter assignments (SPICE charts, CCOT charts, AP-PARTS reading
analyses, etc.) will be due Wednesdays as well. Map tests and Timeline tests will fall on Tuesdays. Unit tests will fall on Thursdays. There
will usually be one test and one reading quiz each week. Timed writing assignments that will count as quiz or test grades will be integrated
throughout the year after proper writing instruction has been provided. Students should practice proper time management throughout the
week giving WHAP at least 35 – 45 minutes each night.
Please note that this calendar will change throughout the year based on campus activities. Students will be informed
when the calendar has changed. Check the calendar in Skyward, as well as my website, for up-to-date assignments.
This draft is meant to serve as a pacing guide for students.
