Good Morning,

We cannot proceed with our discussions today because most students did not follow instructions yesterday. Almost no one signed up for the discussion topic, and only 5 students submitted their preparation notes.

After reviewing the ELA 6 Continua today you will complete and submit your preparation notes.

Those students who already completed all of their work will have a free period to do whatever they need to do for any class.

Reminder - there is NO MISSING ALLOWANCE in your portfolios. You must fill 100% of your SS and ELA portfolios to graduate.

Good Morning!

Today you will finish your preparation for our collaborative discussions, which will take place Tuesday and Wednesday.

1. You must sign up for a topic today, using this form.

2. Submit Milestone 1 Steeping Stone 2 (the Argument Planner) before the beginning of class on Thursday. If you are preparing more than one topic, make sure you submit more than one planner!

Happy Tuesday

1. Today we are moving on to Milestone 1, Stepping Stone 2. Please open the task in Task Dashboard.

2. By the end of class today, you should have chosen one of the 3 topics and signed up for that topic. Your preparation for the discussion should be done using the argument organizer, and is due before class starts on Thursday.

3. Many of you now have at least 2 missings in your portfolio because you have not yet turned in the Launch Milestone. You are responsible for completing this on your own time. Please see me if you need assistance.

Good Morning!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Today - please open the Milestone 1 Stepping Stone 1 activity. You will work together with the students at your table to complete Activity 2 on the Stepping Stone Slide. Using the slideshow from Activity 1 nd the timeline resources in Activity 2, complete the Timeline Organizer (found under “What Have I learned.” You will work together, but every student should turn in their own copy of the organizer to this task.

Some examples of answers to “How did they receive the right to vote” would be: the 15th Amendment, the 19th Amendment, The Indian citizenship Act.

Some examples of “What strategies achieved the right to vote?” would be: going to court, passing a law, protests, Civil War.

You may leave the “Obstacles that still remain” column blank - we will come back to it together.

If you finish early please check for missing work and get caught up!

See you tomorrow :-)
