Mrs. Saleh-Hernandez: 11th Grade Gov/Econ

Check google classroom for an update.

Good morning all,

How is everyone holding up? Have you been watching the news? Reading the newspaper? I hope so! I want to update you guys on what is happening with the stimulus package-there is no update. Not yet, anyway. The Republicans and Democrats are having a difficult time agreeing on it (what’s new right?). I am going to upload the article that discusses it and I want you just to read it. Figure out what each party wants and if it aligns with their values. YOU DO NOT have to turn anything in for this, but I want you please read it and start to gather ideas, thoughts, and opinions about the article. https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020/03/22/vast-coronavirus-stimulus-bill-limbo-crunch-times-arrives-capitol-hill/

Good morning all,

Yesterday I sent out a remind message asking you what VIDEO platform you use (if any) with your other teachers. Thank you so much for replying, I have a lot to think about and I am watching Youtube tutorials (I’m old) to figure out which one has the easiest interface so that I can talk to you all in person.

For right now, however, I want to talk about the Democratic presidential primary and I want to hear what you think. I have a couple of questions that I want you to answer in preparation for next week’s video discussion. PLEASE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS IN GOOGLE CLASSROOM. I will post these questions there as well. They are not due until Tuesday of next week.

1. Ohio (and six other states) postponed voting due to the Covid-19, was this the right move and should we plan to do this for the general election as well?
2. Is it time for Bernie to drop out of the race? The math works against him, but is there a benefit of him staying in the race regardless of whether he can win the primary? Explain.
3. Who do you think Biden will choose as his running mate? I have three guesses, let me know if you agree or disagree and WHY. He promised to choose a female! I’ll talk more about these ladies next week.
   1. Stacy Abrahms
   2. Elizabeth Warren
   3. Gretchen Whitmore

Good morning students,

Today marks a full week since we have been out of school. How are you feeling? It still feels strange to me, but I am following honkering down and staying home. I hope you are too!

Please do not stress and let me know if you have additional questions about the assignments. I really appreciate those of you who have reached out for clarification, I enjoy the communication.

The Article of the week assignment confused some of you so let me try to be more clear. The article you choose does not have to be new, but it should be within the last year or so. If you find an article that discusses the Democratic primary I’m completely fine with that even if it is dated several months ago. If you find an article that discusses the stimulus package and how liberals and conservatives disagree with how to issue it, please write about that.

As of now, do not worry about quantity, I really want you to UNDERSTAND the article more than anything. Again, these are unique times for some and challenging times for others. We are all trying to figure out how to navigate in these stormy waters.

Take care,

Ms. Saleh-hernandez

Good Morning!

Thank you for being patient and understanding during this time. For those of you who do not have laptops, please know that Chromebooks are going to be available for pick-up/distribution this week-Thursday at the earliest. I will continue to update you on that situation via remind. On your end, please continue to contact me if you have questions, I enjoy hearing from you. I will be posting an assignment on google classroom by noon today, keep an eye out for that. Most importantly, stay safe and stay home. 🙂

Good morning everyone. I know we are all getting used to this new way of schooling so let us all be patient with each other as we learn something new. As of now, I plan on updating assignments using google classroom. However, I am willing to try to use a type of live streaming or video program so that I can teach you more directly. I gave out a couple assignments before we left, these are the updates on them:

1. George Washingtons Farwell address: Please answer the questions in the handout. Instead of writing them in the handout, answer them on google classroom. Make sure to number the questions accordingly. I will go over the importance of that speech on google classroom. Again, If I can record myself and upload it, even better.
2. Fear not, the essay is not due any time soon. I want us all to get situated before I choose when I need it turned in. Please let me know if you do not have a copy of what is required for the essay.
3. You MUST join google classroom as well as Remind. I have added these as assignments to the grade book, please have a look. If you do not have access to a computer or tablet at home, please PLEASE let me know as soon as possible.

Best,

Ms. Saleh-hernandez
