Final exam study guides were provided and time given to ask questions as well as to mark in agenda books and/or phones reminders to begin preparations for the test. The two class days of test prep (next Wed. and Thurs.) are for a clean-up round of review and will not be enough study time on their own. Skills re-do work is due by this Friday at the very latest; start coming in today during Advisory if you have signed up to do a Reading or A/V C&L or a Context & Lens skill. Research repair and Socratic Replacement work can be done on your own. The writing option was due last Friday -- see me if you ran into issues meeting that deadline. Reminder that 3 days of research (from last Wed. through Fri.) were due to Google Classroom before class time today -- check the 4 steps of instructions on the "Research Cheats" document in Google Classroom to confirm that you've formatted the work correctly. We then began a quick voyage of highlights of the modern era by setting up a "Modern U.S." note page -- add to it notes from today's' "true-false quiz" about family life and then also from the slideshow about gender equality and the separate video clip. You will need to see a reliable classmate or me for the discussion notes that accompany the slides and be mindful that dialogue -- comments and questions -- as always, are important components of these lessons...multiple perspectives, complex narratives...
