Mrs. Cluver's fun fact -- in high school I was a 3-sport athlete.
We discussed our way through the slideshow "Opening Paradigm."
We discussed about college general education classes, major classes, minor classes, read through the course syllabus for this class, and received our textbooks (2). Next year when you take dual-credit English as seniors, Mrs. Henneike will take you to the KCC campus for a day trip.
Regarding Google Classroom -- be sure to turn on notifications (hit the 3 lines on the top-left, click "Settings," and there you will find "Notifications"); be sure to check your school email daily as important school work notices will come to you there from Google Classroom. Also, make sure that when you access Google Classroom assignments that you go to the Classwork page as there are sometimes instructions there that don't show when it is in the Stream.
This blog -- a few things to point out to you today. First, the Eric Foner quote on the top-right -- read it. ; ) Second, the various human rights activists pictured on the right margin are linked to official websites about each of them; feel free to check them out sometime at your leisure. How to navigate this page if you're looking for a Lesson Instruction post for a previous day that goes farther back than what just scrolling down will take you...notice that at the very bottom it says "Older Posts" -- you can click on that. Or on the right margin below the people pics you will see months of the year listed; you can click on a month to see those posts. Be mindful that the months near the top of the list are for this year and the further down the list you go, you end up in previous years.
Homework -- as we're just starting out, I'm going to remind you that you had four items due by today (maroon) or Monday (white). As for new homework, complete the "History Basics Homework" assignment that is on the Classwork page of Google Classroom; the instructions are on that assignment and the needed items are posted next to it; finish and submit before Tuesday (maroon) or Wednesday (white).
What do I do?
1. Make sure all 4 items from the previous post are done. Better late than never.
2. Complete and submit "History Basics Homework."
