KCC -- Mon(8/31)/Tues(9/1) --&-- Tues(9/1)/Wed(9/2)

Chapter 1 notes are due -- they were collected on paper.  If you are a 100% remote student, please email to me pictures of each of your note pages.

We checked in on a number of things, and some of you have some catching up to do before it is too late and becomes truly overwhelming.  Check Power School to see if your Parent Permission process is completed; if not, please do that ASAP so that you will have access to our class videos.  Also, check to see if your Starter Basics and History Basics assignments are marked in PS as "collected."  If they are, you should have feedback on those assignments in Google Classroom (GC > Classwork > click on assignment > "view assignment").  

We checked in to see what questions kids had about the 2 review pages that revisits aspects of our World History studies that directly connect to our current unit in U.S. History -- the "Pre-Contact" outline page and the "Guns, Germs, & Steel" flow chart.  Many kids did not do the work on these (see previous post for details), and so, that is an important piece of work to back up and do!  Ooops!  Kudos to those of you who did that work; you are right on track. ; )

We then color-coded a map and a timeline for this unit that will serve as our anchors -- to be used repeatedly as reference points -- please highlight yours to correspond with mine.  More work to be done with those on our next in-class day. 

For your at-home work, see the "Pocahontas" assignment AND the article selection in Google Classroom.
