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".
Read your classmates' answers on the Collaboration Question in Google Classroom so that you may steal extra ideas for your E.Q. page; yes, permission to "cheat" -- add their ideas to your paper. Of course, if an idea seems incorrect, politely and respectfully inquire by replying to them to seek clarity or to offer a kind correction. (You will notice that all the students for a class period -- both maroon and white days students -- are visible there, together; please make good use of everyone's thoughts.)
We were going to discuss the "Confronting Brutality" article, but many, many students had not done their Friday at-home work; be sure to get caught up and keep up. If one skips the at-home work, they will be missing 1/2 of the learning and will find it piling up in confusion and missed points in Socratic, on the Writing, and on the final exam.
We set up an A/V Claim & Evidence work page for Third Rock, and in some class periods we began the scored work. If you were absent, contact me to set up a time to make up the missed work. If you are a 100% Remote Learner, I will set up for you to complete this soon, on a staggered schedule...keep eyes open for that notice here, on the "Lesson Instructions" later this week or early next week.
We are picking up pace, and sadly, a lot of kids are lagging behind at the present; so, to give everyone yet another chance to get on board and be readier for the History bus, I am dedicating your Tues/Wed at-home work time for History for you to get caught up with the items listed below without adding any new work. This one time. Then, we're hitting the gas pedal and moving forward. ; )
What do I do?
1. Parent permission if not done.
2. Starter Basics if not done.
3. History Basics if not done.
4. Add EQ notes from classmates' Collaboration Question answers.
5. EQ notes from "Confronting Brutality" article if not done.
6. Contact Mrs. Cluver about Third Rock if absent.
