After viewing the three videos, take the “Roller Coasters” quiz on Google Classroom.  You may only take the quiz one time, so make sure you pay attention when viewing the video (and view the video more than one time if you need to).

MIDDLE SCHOOL Lesson:  EverFi:  Endeavor (Modules 1 and 2)

Teacher Support: Pre-recorded lesson available on Google Classroom.

Instructions: Please log-in on EverFi using the following link:

Click on the “Endeavor” course and begin the first two lessons for the course (“Course Introduction and About Me” and “Designing the Ultimate Prototype”).  The modules must be completed by FRIDAY.  It should take you approximately an hour ­­­­to go through the lessons and then additional time to complete the assessments. You do not need to do it all in one day.  You need to earn at least a 70% on the assessment for each module in order for it to count.  You may re-take the assessments as many times as you need to.
