Monday, June 1 – June 5<\/h4>\n
Watch the Screencast<\/a> for Week 11<\/p>\nThe Gist:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nThis week\u2019s art topic is inspired by Saturday\u2019s current event in which SpaceX and NASA successfully launch two astronauts into space from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, is an engineer, industrial designer and technology entrepreneur. His company goals include all kinds of interesting things like reducing global warming through sustainable energy and lessening the risk of human extinction by establishing a human colony on Mars. That\u2019s a pretty big goal, but what if it can be accomplished? That is this week\u2019s challenge, your task is to imagine what life on Mars would look like if it were colonized.<\/span><\/p>\nTuesday,\u00a0 May 26 – May 29<\/h4>\n
The Gist:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nWatch the Screencast<\/a> for Week 10<\/p>\nObjective:\u00a0<\/b>Artworks can reflect and record meaningful activities from everyday life.<\/span> Show me how <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Life is good!\u201d<\/span> from your point of view this week.<\/span><\/p>\nI\u2019m putting this lesson out early because I think, and hope, we will all be celebrating in some way this weekend. Maybe you will be celebrating: the completion of a test, nearing graduation, E<\/b>id al-Fitr, a birthday, Memorial Day or simply relaxing. Take a good look around as you safely and responsibly celebrate this weekend, because your task is to report back to me in the form of a drawing, painting, collage OR a photograph with artful evidence that \u201cLife is Good\u201d.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\nMonday, May 18 – May 21,<\/h4>\nLast week for “Seniors” –\u00a0 Congratulations, you made it & we are all proud of you!<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\nThe Gist:<\/h4>\n
(A full explaination can be found in Google Classroom.)<\/strong><\/p>\nScreencastify link<\/a><\/p>\nObjective:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Draw, paint or collage a personal roadmap of success to this point in your high school career and beyond. Place road signs along the road describing your accomplishments and goals; use each added road signs to produce visual rhythm. Show us how you have rolled out success and\/or how you plan to roll out success!<\/b><\/p>\n
Activity:<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Jot down a few notes about your achievements throughout high school to this point and your future goals before you begin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Start out by drawing a road, wider at the bottom of the page-smaller at the top of the page (the lines could converge at the top).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Add signs and symbols in a repetitive manner to visually express your achievements and goals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Have Fun with this!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Monday, May 11 \u2013 May 15: The Gist<\/h4>\n
(A full explaination can be found in Google Classroom.)<\/strong><\/p>\nScreencastify link<\/a><\/p>\nObjective: <\/b>In the form of a sketch, plan a clay tile that demonstrates radial balance. The outside edge of your tile can be shaped like a circle or a square, also it can be enhanced with color if you choose.<\/p>\n
Activity:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Watch this demonstration video on <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Radial symmetry<\/span><\/i><\/a> especially if you need help getting started with ideas for this project. This is only one way to start. Use your computer for more ideas if you like.<\/span><\/li>\n
- DO NOT COPY & PASTE WORK FROM THE INTERNET OR EACH OTHER AND TURN IT IN-YOU MUST DRAW OUT YOUR OWN IDEAS!<\/span><\/li>\n
- Work time tips:\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
-Map out a circle about 6\u201d x 6 \u201c or a square on a piece of paper<\/span><\/p>\n-Divide the circle\/paper in \u00bd horizontally & vertically<\/span><\/p>\n-Start your design at the center with a very small circle<\/span><\/p>\n-Build your design off of the centermost circle as seen in the video<\/span><\/p>\nMonday, May 4 \u2013 May 8: The Gist<\/h4>\n
(A full explaination can be found in Google Classroom.)<\/strong><\/p>\nScreencastify link<\/a><\/p>\nObjective: <\/b>Make a collagraph plate in low relief (Collage) that demonstrates a simulated or invented texture.<\/b><\/p>\n
Activity:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Watch the <\/span>demonstration video<\/span><\/a> to learn how to make a collagraph plate. I chose this video because it shows you how to use scissors to cut out shapes from cardboard.<\/span> Use scissors only <\/b>– do not use knives for this project. Scissors workout great and no one gets hurt! Our theme is simulated texture or invented texture, in the video the theme is music.<\/span><\/p>\nIn our class we will not be printing with our collagraph plate (collage), in this case the plate is the final artwork. Once your design is finished, cover it with one unifying color- I recommend kitchen foil. <\/span>Cover your collagraph with a piece of kitchen foil (if you have it) to give it one unified color and tack the foil in place with a small amount of glue, or you could paint it. Try to unify the work\u2019s outer surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nTuesday, April 28 – May 1: The Gist<\/h4>\n
Watch the following <\/span>demonstration video<\/span><\/a> to see how to cut shapes out from the center of a paper sheet, and then place it in the correct place to create a mirror image (if that is which direction you wish to work in). Keep this simple – <\/span>use scissors only <\/b>– do not use knives for this project. Scissors workout great and no one gets hurt! Of course, there are full directions in our Google Classroom Slideshow including examples from the masters and student examples.<\/span><\/p>\nMonday, April 27 Review:<\/h4>\n
Since we are all still trying to understand and digest the new requirements for virtual learning I think it’s a good idea to review the material. For homework please re-read the district memo in regard to credit requirements for each class (condensed high school version below),
\nStudents who chose to:<\/p>\n
-Engage in 75% of remote lessons and hangouts & earn a 75% or higher score on submitted assignments per class can still earn an “A” grade for this class. (Option 1, I hope you all strive for this option\/target)<\/p>\n
-Engage in 60-74% of remote lessons and hangouts & a passing grade on 60-74% of assignments per class can earn a “G” grade for this class. (Option 2)<\/p>\n
-Engage in less than 60% of remote lessons and hangouts & earn a passing grade on less than 60% of assignments will receive no credit. (Option 3)<\/p>\n
Or …
\nYou can follow the complete plan, a summary of how the plan impacts elementary, middle and high school students, along with grading criteria for each grade level can be found at:
\nhttps:\/\/dearbornschools.org\/services\/dearborn-public-schools-continuity-of-learning-plan\/<\/a><\/p>\nFriday, April 24<\/h4>\n
Reminder, there are 2 things due this week for full credit<\/strong>:<\/p>\n1. A check-in<\/strong>, which for this class is the attendance in a meet\/hangout and an exit ticket.<\/p>\n2. The Assignment<\/strong> piece, which demonstrate engagement, create an artwork with a focus on organic\/geometric shapes.<\/p>\nThank you to all who participated in a professional manner during the Google Hangouts.<\/p>\n
Tuesday, April 21<\/h4>\n
Thanks to all of you that attended our first Google Meet\/Hangout yesterday! Most of you followed the rules of\u00a0 etiquette expected and communicated by DPS and DHS. Remember that these are recorded meetings, please be mindful about that in the future if you wish to receive full credit for participation. If you were one of the few people that missed our meeting today, no worries, you can make it up on Wednesday. If for some reason you do not have access to a computer during our scheduled meeting time, consider using your phone for the meet – you might have to download the app first but it will work.<\/p>\n
My office hours are extended this week if you need help; next week they will return to the regular school day hours or until 3:30 pm daily.<\/p>\n

\nWhen you enter the Meet\/Hangout, mute yourself (If you are already not muted.)
\nWhen you have a question, type in the textbox and wait for your teacher to call on you.
\nWhen you have something to contribute to what is being said, but it is not your turn, use the chat feature in the right-hand corner.
\nWait for the teacher to call on you to unmute yourself.
\nOnly one student should contribute\/talk at a time
\nLook into the camera when you are talking.
\nStay attentive. Pay attention to your teacher or other students who are speaking.<\/p>\n

They have started detailing the DPS plan for moving forward with virtual learning since the stay home order has been extended. I’ll keep you posted as the situation evolves…it’s evolving over the next 2-3 days at least. One sure thing that evolved so far from yesterday is that student work is going to count-they are still working out the details on what that will look like. Another important detail-especially for seniors and juniors, if at all possible you want to earn a grade for your transcripts vs. credit only for the class. To earn a grade you must participate, and turn in work (your own work<\/strong>). If you need a chromebook please email me or your counselor at the school to find out about availability. I’ll keep you posted as I learn new information.<\/p>\nIs there any chance that you know a person in our class that is not participating in online virtual learning yet? Why not? Please encourage them to participate. DPS is trying to identify every family that is having difficulty with internet access and families that need additional tech devices. Can you help me get the word out to those who are not participating due to lack of technology? They should email me so that I can direct their information to support staff.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s not forget the many great benefits for staying engaged in learning during this time period:\u00a0 1. This will keep your mind sharp, active and prevent academic slide; 2.The activities and practice with Google Classroom will help us stay connected through learning; 3.It\u2019s the best way to keep up a healthy routine\/schedule at this time; and 4.We are following (in compliance with) the directives\/guidance set for us by the state.<\/p>\n
Just getting started with virtual learning: Join google classroom to participate in Intro. to 2-D Design; view the weekly slideshow for the enrichment activities and pace. For now nothing will be marked late- I had to set a due date for each lesson (this could change based on future directives). Don\u2019t hesitate to email me with questions; I\u2019ll do my best to help out. Try to contact me through email or google classroom during regular school hours, but I\u2019ll try to respond to questions in the early evening hours as much as possible. There are many helpful tips on this blog as well \u2013 just scroll down for useful tips.<\/p>\n
Please continue to stay home, stay safe (social distance & wash your hands frequently), and be part of the solution to save lives.<\/p>\n

Did you know? A white ribbon is a salute to medical professionals on the frontline of\u00a0 COVID-19 – I noticed a bunch of white ribbons popping up in my neighborhood while walking the dogs yesterday. So- I joined in on the salute. Here’s what I did: I used (30 sheets) typing\/printer paper, then I arranged the shape of a ribbon on the floor, taped it together-on the back side. Then I trimmed the rough edges and it was ready to hang. You could make a smaller ribbon, but I made one the length of the door since we have plenty of typing paper.<\/p>\n

Good Morning Pioneers!
\nI hope you and your family watched Mr. Martins\u2019s video updating us on the status of our current situation. If you did, you know that we are going to provide you with learning enrichment opportunities that are not graded. Why, you may ask? There are many great reasons: 1.This will keep your mind sharp, active and prevent academic slide; 2.The activities and practice with Google Classroom will help us stay connected through learning; 3.It\u2019s the best way to keep up a healthy routine\/schedule at this time; and 4.We are following (in compliance with) the directives\/guidance set for us by the state.
\nMoving forward-all of the Art Enrichment objectives, activities and assignments, which I would like to call Art Enchantments, can be found in Google Classroom. If you joined last week \u2013keep doing what you are doing. If you are joining this week, refer to the notes below, it should help your progress.<\/p>\n
Time is running out to pick up a Chromebook-the last day to borrow\/pick up a Chromebook from school has been changed to Today, March 23rd.<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you are just joining us now\u2026below is a look at last week in a nutshell:<\/p>\n
Students were invited to join Google Classroom-please join : )
\nGo to google classroom through your DPS email and select the + to join our class. Use the code that I shared with you located at the bottom of the email sent out on 3\/16 & 3\/18. When you are in you have completed step #1.
\nStep #2 click on CLASSWORK; once you are in classwork you will notice headings such as: Check In, and 3\/16 \u2013 3\/20 (Week one). Under each heading you will find directions. Under the heading 3\/16-3\/20 you will find \u2013Week 1 Slide Show- think of the slideshow as the white board in our classroom, I organized this by day but you can move along as quickly as you like. It is the overview of activities for the week \u2013 click on the slideshow and preview the week. Underneath the Slide Show you will find the assignments. If you are new to google classroom (like I am), you will need to upload your assignment from your Google Docs or Drive, where you save your work. To do this: click on the assignment you want to turn in, then click on add attachment at the bottom. From there select drive if you have already started a google doc to attach it, if not then click on doc to create a new document to write your response. Once the work is done click Submit\/turn In -to turn in the assignment. If you want to upload a picture, save it to your google drive and follow the drive instructions above.<\/p>\n
March 20th:<\/h4>\n
I miss seeing you all and very much look forward to returning to school sooner than later. I’m counting on you to make good choices: social distance, hand wash, help out at home, and be kind to your family. I am very proud of each of you because you’re doing such a great job stepping up to our new learning challenges.<\/p>\n
One of my challenges has been to reach every one of my students. There are a small number students who have not yet joined our class. Perhaps they share a computer with siblings, have had technical difficulties with wifi or have not checked their email or our blog. I still want you to join- it’s not too late.<\/p>\n
If you have not joined yet, you will need a code based on your class\/hour to have access to virtual learning; email me for the code if you need it, so that I can share it with you. The code is also located in the emails sent out earlier this week.<\/p>\n
My email is dominoj@dearbornschools.org<\/p>\n

Many of you are moving forward with the virtual learning for this class-and that\u2019s Awesome<\/em><\/strong>! For those of you that have not yet joined, the objectives and activities will be found in Google Classroom based on your class hour. You will need a code for your hour to have access to virtual learning; email me for the code if you need it, so that I can share it with you. My email is dominoj@dearbornschools.org
\nThe theme for this week\u2019s art work is: Zentangle<\/p>\nBelow 3\/17 -Late last night as some assignments trickled in:<\/strong><\/p>\nA comment was placed in the gradebook under Virtual Learning Check In<\/em><\/strong> for each student today. For many students the comment simply read \u2013Thank you<\/em>; OR<\/strong> Another comment was \u2013 I noticed you joined our google classroom, I\u2019m concerned because you have not responded yet<\/em>; OR<\/strong> I have identified you as a student that has not checked in-please visit iBlog<\/em><\/p>\nIf you are able to respond, please do so. If you need help navigating the system, post a comment in Google Classroom or email me at domino@dearbornschools.org<\/p>\n
Please check in<\/strong>; I have been asked to turn in the names of the students who are not responding to my communications.<\/p>\n*You must be logged into your DPS email to access Google Classroom*<\/p>\n
March 17th: Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!<\/h4>\n
*You must be logged into your DPS email to access Google Classroom*<\/strong><\/p>\nVirtual learning is up for this class. Objectives and activities can be found in Google Classroom based on your class hour. Remember that you must be logged into your DPS(Dearborn Public School) email to have access to Google classroom. You will need a code for your hour to have access to virtual learning; it was sent out in the form of a mass email yesterday. If you did not get the code through the mass email yesterday, please email me today so that I can re-share the code with you.<\/p>\n
Also-I want to thank you for your cooperation during this time of adjustment and as we move towards discovering new ways of working together in the learning process.<\/p>\n

Monday, June 8 – June 11<\/h4>\n
Watch the for Screencast<\/a> for Week 12<\/p>\n The Gist:<\/strong><\/p>\n Objective: Complete and turn in make up work for this class from weeks 5 through 11. If you are already caught up with everything, answer the survey, and then enjoy your summer break in a responsible manner. Try your best to be safe!<\/p>\n Activity:<\/p>\n Watch the Screencast<\/a> for Week 11<\/p>\n The Gist:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n This week\u2019s art topic is inspired by Saturday\u2019s current event in which SpaceX and NASA successfully launch two astronauts into space from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, is an engineer, industrial designer and technology entrepreneur. His company goals include all kinds of interesting things like reducing global warming through sustainable energy and lessening the risk of human extinction by establishing a human colony on Mars. That\u2019s a pretty big goal, but what if it can be accomplished? That is this week\u2019s challenge, your task is to imagine what life on Mars would look like if it were colonized.<\/span><\/p>\n The Gist:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Watch the Screencast<\/a> for Week 10<\/p>\n Objective:\u00a0<\/b>Artworks can reflect and record meaningful activities from everyday life.<\/span> Show me how <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Life is good!\u201d<\/span> from your point of view this week.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m putting this lesson out early because I think, and hope, we will all be celebrating in some way this weekend. Maybe you will be celebrating: the completion of a test, nearing graduation, E<\/b>id al-Fitr, a birthday, Memorial Day or simply relaxing. Take a good look around as you safely and responsibly celebrate this weekend, because your task is to report back to me in the form of a drawing, painting, collage OR a photograph with artful evidence that \u201cLife is Good\u201d.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n (A full explaination can be found in Google Classroom.)<\/strong><\/p>\n Screencastify link<\/a><\/p>\n Objective:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Draw, paint or collage a personal roadmap of success to this point in your high school career and beyond. Place road signs along the road describing your accomplishments and goals; use each added road signs to produce visual rhythm. Show us how you have rolled out success and\/or how you plan to roll out success!<\/b><\/p>\n Activity:<\/b><\/p>\n (A full explaination can be found in Google Classroom.)<\/strong><\/p>\n Screencastify link<\/a><\/p>\n Objective: <\/b>In the form of a sketch, plan a clay tile that demonstrates radial balance. The outside edge of your tile can be shaped like a circle or a square, also it can be enhanced with color if you choose.<\/p>\n Activity:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n -Map out a circle about 6\u201d x 6 \u201c or a square on a piece of paper<\/span><\/p>\n -Divide the circle\/paper in \u00bd horizontally & vertically<\/span><\/p>\n -Start your design at the center with a very small circle<\/span><\/p>\n -Build your design off of the centermost circle as seen in the video<\/span><\/p>\n (A full explaination can be found in Google Classroom.)<\/strong><\/p>\n Screencastify link<\/a><\/p>\n Objective: <\/b>Make a collagraph plate in low relief (Collage) that demonstrates a simulated or invented texture.<\/b><\/p>\n Activity:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Watch the <\/span>demonstration video<\/span><\/a> to learn how to make a collagraph plate. I chose this video because it shows you how to use scissors to cut out shapes from cardboard.<\/span> Use scissors only <\/b>– do not use knives for this project. Scissors workout great and no one gets hurt! Our theme is simulated texture or invented texture, in the video the theme is music.<\/span><\/p>\n In our class we will not be printing with our collagraph plate (collage), in this case the plate is the final artwork. Once your design is finished, cover it with one unifying color- I recommend kitchen foil. <\/span>Cover your collagraph with a piece of kitchen foil (if you have it) to give it one unified color and tack the foil in place with a small amount of glue, or you could paint it. Try to unify the work\u2019s outer surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Watch the following <\/span>demonstration video<\/span><\/a> to see how to cut shapes out from the center of a paper sheet, and then place it in the correct place to create a mirror image (if that is which direction you wish to work in). Keep this simple – <\/span>use scissors only <\/b>– do not use knives for this project. Scissors workout great and no one gets hurt! Of course, there are full directions in our Google Classroom Slideshow including examples from the masters and student examples.<\/span><\/p>\n Since we are all still trying to understand and digest the new requirements for virtual learning I think it’s a good idea to review the material. For homework please re-read the district memo in regard to credit requirements for each class (condensed high school version below), -Engage in 75% of remote lessons and hangouts & earn a 75% or higher score on submitted assignments per class can still earn an “A” grade for this class. (Option 1, I hope you all strive for this option\/target)<\/p>\n -Engage in 60-74% of remote lessons and hangouts & a passing grade on 60-74% of assignments per class can earn a “G” grade for this class. (Option 2)<\/p>\n -Engage in less than 60% of remote lessons and hangouts & earn a passing grade on less than 60% of assignments will receive no credit. (Option 3)<\/p>\n Or … Reminder, there are 2 things due this week for full credit<\/strong>:<\/p>\n 1. A check-in<\/strong>, which for this class is the attendance in a meet\/hangout and an exit ticket.<\/p>\n 2. The Assignment<\/strong> piece, which demonstrate engagement, create an artwork with a focus on organic\/geometric shapes.<\/p>\n Thank you to all who participated in a professional manner during the Google Hangouts.<\/p>\n Thanks to all of you that attended our first Google Meet\/Hangout yesterday! Most of you followed the rules of\u00a0 etiquette expected and communicated by DPS and DHS. Remember that these are recorded meetings, please be mindful about that in the future if you wish to receive full credit for participation. If you were one of the few people that missed our meeting today, no worries, you can make it up on Wednesday. If for some reason you do not have access to a computer during our scheduled meeting time, consider using your phone for the meet – you might have to download the app first but it will work.<\/p>\n My office hours are extended this week if you need help; next week they will return to the regular school day hours or until 3:30 pm daily.<\/p>\n See you Wednesday : D<\/p>\n Starting today & moving forward the class work counts!<\/strong><\/p>\n We will Meet\/Hangout today based on the schedule that Mr. Martin sent out to us. I copied it and pasted it at the top of your email, the one I sent out yesterday. If you did not get an email yesterday then follow this link<\/a> it will take you to the email.<\/p>\n I will see you in Google Meet\/Hangout soon for this class.\u00a0 Remember you will not be able to join until I open it up.<\/p>\n Look for an email from me about the upcoming changes that start tomorrow for our class on Monday, April 20th, or follow the link<\/a> here.<\/p>\n DPS is still hashing out details for the new remote learning plan, but I can tell you to plan for a Google Meet with me on Monday\/Wednesday afternoons (hours 1, 2 & 3)- the time schedule for this meeting is listed\/scheduled by hour and Mr. Martin will be sharing the schedule with you soon.<\/p>\n Please review the DPS Guide below before we meet; I copied and pasted it from the district document for your view.<\/p>\n Google Meet\/Hangout Etiquette Guide for Students:<\/p>\n Take a Look at your video BEFORE joining the Hangout. Make sure that everything in the video (especially the background) is appropriate. Student directions to Join the Ceramics Meet on Monday\/Wednesday: 1. In a web browser, enter\u00a0https:\/\/meet.google.com<\/a>. They have started detailing the DPS plan for moving forward with virtual learning since the stay home order has been extended. I’ll keep you posted as the situation evolves…it’s evolving over the next 2-3 days at least. One sure thing that evolved so far from yesterday is that student work is going to count-they are still working out the details on what that will look like. Another important detail-especially for seniors and juniors, if at all possible you want to earn a grade for your transcripts vs. credit only for the class. To earn a grade you must participate, and turn in work (your own work<\/strong>). If you need a chromebook please email me or your counselor at the school to find out about availability. I’ll keep you posted as I learn new information.<\/p>\n Is there any chance that you know a person in our class that is not participating in online virtual learning yet? Why not? Please encourage them to participate. DPS is trying to identify every family that is having difficulty with internet access and families that need additional tech devices. Can you help me get the word out to those who are not participating due to lack of technology? They should email me so that I can direct their information to support staff.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s not forget the many great benefits for staying engaged in learning during this time period:\u00a0 1. This will keep your mind sharp, active and prevent academic slide; 2.The activities and practice with Google Classroom will help us stay connected through learning; 3.It\u2019s the best way to keep up a healthy routine\/schedule at this time; and 4.We are following (in compliance with) the directives\/guidance set for us by the state.<\/p>\n Just getting started with virtual learning: Join google classroom to participate in Intro. to 2-D Design; view the weekly slideshow for the enrichment activities and pace. For now nothing will be marked late- I had to set a due date for each lesson (this could change based on future directives). Don\u2019t hesitate to email me with questions; I\u2019ll do my best to help out. Try to contact me through email or google classroom during regular school hours, but I\u2019ll try to respond to questions in the early evening hours as much as possible.

\nI hope you and your family watched Mr. Martins\u2019s video updating us on the status of our current situation. If you did, you know that we are going to provide you with learning enrichment opportunities that are not graded. Why, you may ask? There are many great reasons: 1.This will keep your mind sharp, active and prevent academic slide; 2.The activities and practice with Google Classroom will help us stay connected through learning; 3.It\u2019s the best way to keep up a healthy routine\/schedule at this time; and 4.We are following (in compliance with) the directives\/guidance set for us by the state.
\nMoving forward-all of the Art Enrichment objectives, activities and assignments, which I would like to call Art Enchantments, can be found in Google Classroom. If you joined last week \u2013keep doing what you are doing. If you are joining this week, refer to the notes below, it should help your progress.<\/p>\n
\nGo to google classroom through your DPS email and select the + to join our class. Use the code that I shared with you located at the bottom of the email sent out on 3\/16 & 3\/18. When you are in you have completed step #1.
\nStep #2 click on CLASSWORK; once you are in classwork you will notice headings such as: Check In, and 3\/16 \u2013 3\/20 (Week one). Under each heading you will find directions. Under the heading 3\/16-3\/20 you will find \u2013Week 1 Slide Show- think of the slideshow as the white board in our classroom, I organized this by day but you can move along as quickly as you like. It is the overview of activities for the week \u2013 click on the slideshow and preview the week. Underneath the Slide Show you will find the assignments. If you are new to google classroom (like I am), you will need to upload your assignment from your Google Docs or Drive, where you save your work. To do this: click on the assignment you want to turn in, then click on add attachment at the bottom. From there select drive if you have already started a google doc to attach it, if not then click on doc to create a new document to write your response. Once the work is done click Submit\/turn In -to turn in the assignment. If you want to upload a picture, save it to your google drive and follow the drive instructions above.<\/p>\nMarch 20th:<\/h4>\n
