U.S. History
Good afternoon everyone,
I wanted to thank each and every one of you who submitted your reading and video reflection sheets this week. I will be responding to the rest of your emails and getting the new grades updated in the next day or two. There have many changes that are beyond our control and we wanted to thank you for being flexible with us as we try to get everything organized. For this week we will continue having your read the four articles that we are posting today and have you complete a reading reflection assignment for just one of the four articles. Since google meets is still suspended and we are having issues with Big Blue Button we are going to have you watch one more Crash Course video and complete the video reflection. Watching the video and completing the reflection sheet for the video will count as our “meeting” for this week. Starting next week, I will begin recording a lesson for you to watch and complete a reflection.
*The article reflection and the video reflection templates will be at the bottom of this post under the Supplemental Materials section.
Listed below is a check list to help you keep your week organized:
