Your to-do listWe've got a short week this week as we head into a vacation week so we have a slightly shorter to-do list.
- We'll continue with out Up First quizzes but I would like you to only to complete one quiz this week. The trade off is that I would like you to complete it by Thursday the 16th. I will not make quizzes for Friday and Saturday's episodes. - Please be sure to submit your Something fun to do over break assignment to Flipgrid by Thursday as well. Your classmates are counting on you for ideas. I know that I've already heard about some great ideas from you and am looking forward to seeing your talents. - Please complete the questions the Census podcast that I have posted for you. I also want all of you to know that I will be around during break if you need anything. Please feel free to contact me. Your to-do listWe'll continue with our the threads over the next two weeks but there are going to be a few changes before break.
- For our current events thread, please continue with the Up First quizzes. You only need to do two out of the six quizzes posted for the week. - For our personal history thread, we're going to take a little time off from documenting what we are up to. Instead, we are going to try to help each other out as we head towards break. I would like each of you to create a Flipgrid video in which you teach your classmates something fun that they can do over break to help pass the time. It could be something that they could cook, a game that you play, an outside adventure, or anything else that comes to mind. The only rule is that is may not require a great deal of resources. For example, shopping for cooking ingredients would be ok. Shopping for electronics, instruments, or other expensive equipment is out. Think of it like a $20 limit. Hopefully we can all make our vacations a little more exciting this way. I hope to add a few of my own to help you out as well. This assignment will be due Thursday, 4/16. - Lastly for our content thread, I would like you to complete the Landmark Abortion cases assignment. While Roe v. Wade gets a lot of the headlines, you need to understand more than that case to understand abortion rights in this country. Please see the assignment on Google Classroom for more details.
