Week of Oct 21 - 25

Hi All!

This week, we will be wrapping up our Urban Legend podcasts. As some of us experienced today, working with Garage Band and iMovie can sometimes create a bit of frustration...

Goals for Friday (Oct 25), are to have AT LEAST an audio recording DONE and uploaded into  Google Drive. Some people finished everything today (good on ya!) This might require others of you to record on your own time.

We'll also be starting our Exhibit inquiries this week. Everyone found out today which Japanese time periods they'll be researching -- further instruction will be given Weds/Thurs.

Reminder that by Friday afternoon, all three documents (Edo Expert articles + Meiji + Change is Coming) in the Google Share folders, are to be read. Based on what we've covered in class, notes, and now your additional readings, everyone should be able to confidently describe the changes that occurred during Edo, as well as, provide pertinent details on what led to the Meiji Restoration.

...There just might be an in-class task for you to respond to on Monday, Oct 28. *smiley face

If you have any questions, come see me.

-Mrs. Lockyer

Two main topics we will cover in this meeting: Tutorial on how to submit assignments from Drive on D2L How to take the Practice Quiz (Tomorrow) and the Science Test (Monday) One question we had yesterday was about what Mrs. Thornborough is going to do with Band . We talked to her today and she said that she would set up a webpage with an optional weekly activity for Band students to do in order to further their learning and skills. This is NOT a cours...
