SAQ

Its time to take this WHAP experience to the next level. Writing in all different forms and lengths is a HUGE part of the AP Exam. The SAQ (Short Answer Question) is a great place to start. Honing your careful reading of prompts, decoding of sources and crafting of clear, evidence based claims is all a part of the SAQ drill. These are the building blocks of great essays to come. Please read through the SAQ Powerpoint to familiarize yourself with the format.

Albright Symposium Highlights

I am sure we would agree, education cannot provide the solutions to every problem. It will not abolish war, end poverty, or fix the economy overnight, but it will help us all to learn more about those with whom we share life on this planet. This matters, because history is nothing less than a chronicle of discovery - of the alignment of stars, the crossing of seas, the study of medicine, the composition of art, and the invention of ever more astonishing machines. In the past half-century, we have utterly transformed the day-to-day habits of life. But we still have much to discover about getting along with one another.

Tyler fears he may have contracted "liberal feminism" - Jake and Max clearly have...and don't care.

WHAP 2k15 Crew 

My first photo with WHAP at Wellesley. They were hanging on my every word!

Couldn't have spent a better day with kids I adore more. Thanks for everyone who walked, tweeted, discussed and live-streamed with me. A special thanks to Mrs. Kelliher schlepping with the WHAP crew and making the day possible.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE PANEL DISCUSSION:

Does social equality need to take the form of democracy? - Student Question

In diplomacy you must always remember there are two sides to every story and if you forget that you become narrow, rigid and ineffective- Lord Mulloch Brown (UN Deputy Secreatry)

Embrace the world; get out of your own box and travel the globe. Christine Lagarde (Managing Director IMF)

Question your assumptions. Don't believe that every man is wrong and every woman is right. I would rather spend time with Mark Malloch-Brown than Sarah Palin. Madeleine Albright (Former Secretary of State)
