New Assignment
Hello Everyone,
I have posted a new assignment in your Google Classroom. As you are well aware of, there were some technical difficulties with the last assignment. Hopefully, we have worked out some of the problems and this assignment will be easier for you to complete and submit, and for me to add comments and to grade. I appreciate your dedication, hardwork and patience as we work our way through all of this.
As always, email me if you have any questions. You are my favorite 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th hours. Please don’t tell anyone else!

Monday, March 16, 2020 Update
Hello Eveyone,
I hope all of you are healthy and safe!!! Please continue to visit this blog daily for any updates regarding your Ancient History assignments. Today’s assignment was a five question, short answer response activity based on the text that I provided. Please make sure to submit the Google form once you have completed the assignment.
If you have already completed and submitted the assignment, you noticed that all of your answers were incorrect. That is because the assignment, due to being short answer responses, did not include an answer key. I will review your work once it is turned in.
Thank you for all your hard work, and email me if you have any questions.
